1st Easter

You’d think i would remember the camera considering this is Rykers first Easter? Nope… Surely i forgot it. So we had to get a pic of the goodies we came home with.  Saturday we made it to the Cottles for the annual BB & Easter Egg hunt and Ryan scored a whopping $54 to start Ryker’s college fund (of course?).

Sunday we had the opportunity to watch Jake talk in his singles ward. After that we headed to GG’s house and hung out there. But NaNa spoiled me with a basket full of these goodies!

GG got me this  toy… I dunno how i feel about the singing… (he pulls funny faces)

….yeah my mom and dad were pretty lame this year and just got me clothes… Mom was so excited for my new swimsuit though. She can wait to take me to the pool!

P.S. I forgot to mention… I’m 2 Months today!!!

life of a one monther..

Life is busy for our one month old. He has a lot to accomplish in 1 day.

Such as staring out the window at the early morning sun.  There's a lot for those adjusting eyes to figure out.

And resting his sweet little head, while digesting his breakfast.  That belly is always hard at work.

(Nothing's cuter than a little milky drool, right?)

And throwing out a grin or two.  Gas related?  Probably. 

 

He also tries so hard to figure out who's talking to him and what we may be telling him.  And possibly wonders why we're constantly gushing over him and smothering his poor squishy cheeks with kisses.

 

It's also a lot of work to fill that diaper.  But with a little concentration, he's mastering that task quite well.

After all that, he usually needs a little break.......and passes out for a while

After a long nap, he repeats the above tasks several times throughout the day.........and then we start again the next day.

Yep, he stays pretty busy.

It's hard work.

1 month.

Really? This baby of mine has been here a whole month! Seems like i was just counting down the days till he was here… now I don’t want them to go fast anymore…

Being a mama is definitely different But.. i wouldn’t change it for the world. This little guy is so adorable and we cant seem to get enough of him.

He’s finally starting to focus more on his surroundings, we get some smiles out of him every once in a while. He starting to talk back to us. Loves loves baths! Already knows when he’s in his bassinet or our bed… (bad habit already?) Eats like a champ. Sleeps pretty good… almost has a routine down… getting better everyday. His hair is slowing coming in a little more in the front.  Has the best facial expressions! Has the cutest dimples i have ever seen! Were so lucky & so glad he is here! Happy 1 month!

Facial expressions…

This is only one of many.. and i dont even think the picture does it justice. But he is quite the character.

I hope they call me on a mission

Recently they called Grandma & Grandpa Warburton to the New York, New York Mission. Scheduled to leave March 14! Pretty Crazy!!!

Well… they got reassigned to the Long Beach California mission instead because of health issues.

We will miss them for a good little while.

Best of Luck Grandpa and Grandma!

P.S. This is their first “great” grandchild!
