One Month Old!

Our baby boy is now one month old!......and boy did that month go fast. It's so crazy to look at these pictures and then look at his newborn pics from the hospital, he's getting so big! He's such a sweet little boy and we love him so much. It's so nice to be able to hold him and snuggle him and when he goes to sleep I'm always so excited for him to wake up. He's more alert and loves to just sit and check stuff out. I can't wait for him to start grinning at me...he's so close!

Just some of Tobi's latest pictures.....so cute!

Tobi's First Thanksgiving

Cousin Noah helping Jordan burp Tobi.

Tobi had his first Thanksgiving and it went great! I was nervous because he's been getting tummy aches and I was afraid he would be fussy. We were out for most of the day and he did SO good. We put him in his cute Thanksgiving day outfit and everyone loved the SUPER cute hat that Chelsea made for him. So ADORABLE! He let several family members hold him without fussing and slept really well.
We had turkey dinner at Sean and Brynn's and it was fantastic! The food was perfect and it was so nice to get together with all the family. Plus Tobi got to finally meet them! With the exception of a few who couldn't make it of course.
After dinner we went to my Grandma Coates's house in American Fork to visit with my family. Tobi got to meet Grandpa Coates and his second cousin Amber. She was so excited to see him and he was really good while she held him and fed him. We had some of my mom's super yummy homemade pumpkin pie and then we went home for the night. It turned out to be a really good holiday for all three of us.

Our baby is cordless!

Tobi lost his cord....finally....on wednesday this week and I am so excited! We no longer have to fold his diaper down in the front and he doesn't have that awkward bump under his clothes. :)

Oh how I love thee...

I've been meaning to do this for a few weeks now and just haven't had the time. There are some people in my life who I may or may not have told how much I love and appreciate them. I'd like to take the opportunity to do so now.

1. The first is my wonderful husband, Jordan. You work so hard to make sure we can pay our bills and you've done so well at Moxtek so far. You're so supportive of everything I do and you're always there for me when I need you. You're so good with Jessa and so sweet and gentle with Tobi, you're the best husband a girl could ask for. I love you so much!
2. Next would be my mom and dad. You guys have been so caring and so helpful with Jordan and me. I'm so grateful that you have the room and the tolerance to let us live with you guys right now, especially since we have a new baby. The two of you are fantastic grandparents and Tobi is going to adore both of you, he's already so spoiled and so loved. Dad, I'm so grateful for your sound advice and for your goofy sense of humor. Mom, I'm so grateful for the talks we have when we're both feeling down and need a friend.
3. Brynn! I am SO thankful that we have you in our lives. You and Sean both have helped us to get through our hardest moments this past year and I can't thank you enough. You were there for me every step of the way through my pregnancy and I'm so happy to have finally made you an aunt. Thank you so much for your love and support.
4. Chace, you are the funniest kid and I'm so glad I have you to keep me smiling. You're going to be a rockstar uncle and I'm so proud that Tobi is going to have you in his life. I couldn't ask for a better brother.
5. Andrew, I'm so glad that you've found such a fabulous match in Bronwyn. She's a wonderful girl and we are all so excited for her to join the fam! I'm so grateful for the two of you keeping me company on the nights that Jordan had to work. The wii is so much more fun when you have someone else to play with.
