Can't get enough!

Call me crazy...

{Strratton ~ January 2013}

...but he is just TOO cute!

 

When you have a lot of time on your hands...

...you lose track of it! 

It has been quite some time since I blogged. Here is a quick recap of the last month of 2012, and the first month of 2013.

We are blessed to have family and friends so close to us. They make our life complete. Our family had a wonderful 2012; full of adventures and special days. Here is to a great 2013!

Five and Six Months

Stratton has been growing like a weed! I missed the last few months of blogging so I wanted to do a quick recap of how much our little man has grown. He is now almost 7 months old! He is so much! He loves to grab EVERYTHING in sight, loves to jibber-jabber, and loves to try to crawl. He will be there soon. He brings so much love and joy into our home, and into our family. We sure do love him! 

{5 months}

Two teeth | 16 lbs | rolls over | likes rice cereal | likes to chat

sleeps through the night, every night | loves baths | likes to stand
loves to play

{six months}

 

sits like a pro | wants to walk on his own | loves to laugh
loves all baby food | scoots back when he tries to crawl

puts everything in his mouth | at least 20 lbs

 

Thanksgiving

This year we ate Thanksgiving dinner with the Bennington family. Always a good time with them! 

 

 

 

 

 

 Our little family sure has a lot to be thankful for. We are grateful each day to our Heavenly Father for giving us so many wonderful things to enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Three big ones!

On November 13, Bryce and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. I had work and meetings all day and class all night, so the actual day was uneventful, to say the least. Bryce did surprise me with flowers and a nice gift though! I made him a silly little cake out of a few of his favorite things. It was a simple but fun way to celebrate our special day. The Saturday following our anniversary, my mom and dad watched Stratton so we could go on a date to the Bountiful temple. It was a beautiful day! We stopped to eat a yummy Cafe Rio dinner before heading to the temple. When we got in the car after eating, I opened my wallet to grab my temple recommend, and it was nowhere to be found. Great! Yup, I forgot it! Our temple date ended before it really even started, but it was still a fabulous evening. 

This was the first time we left Stratton for a true date night.
Thanks mom and dad for watching him!

Bryce, thank you so much for a wonderful three years! We have had our ups and downs, but there is no one else I would rather share it with. You are my best friend! You are a great husband, a wonderful father, and my best example! I am lucky to be yours! Love you so much! Here is the many, many more!

Can't wait to see you on Thursday, Cole!!

Stratton is quite the little player now! Oh, he is so fun! Here are just a few shots of him playing.
