Thanksgiving 2010

For our Thanksgiving this year it was quite nice and there was no rush. We went to my dads house for our Thanksgiving feast on Thanksgiving night.

We went to Riley's mom's house on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for her dinner -- it was so nice to not be rushed from house to house.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving we got hit with a big snowstorm, so we went to my dads house and went sledding.

Here are some fun sledding pictures:




Remzley's 12 month Pictures

Here is my little handsome pants birthday pictures (professionally). My old friend from Jr. High did them. She is awesome!! Thanks Nichole!!








Remzley's 12 Month Stats

Remz's 12 month appointment was the day after his birthday, November 22nd 2010. The doctor said that he is doing well overall.

Here are his Stats:
Weight: 25.9 lbs - 87.91%
Height: 29.25 inches - 33.58%
Head: 18.4 inches - 62.04%
*His weight went from 25.07 at 9 months, to 24.8 at 10 months to 25.9 at 12 months. He has finally stopped GAINING so much weight.

-He is a steady crawler and goes EVERYWHERE. He has had 1 trip DOWN the stairs, (on accident and flipped 2 times on the way down) longest 10 seconds of my life watching.
-He loves ALL Food... i have not really found anything that he HATES, other then those 3rd Gerber foods, that have meat in them -- he throws them up EVERY TIME I feed him them.
-He is transitioned from Formula to milk - 100%
-He no longer has a bottle, sippy cup only
-He says a few select words, Momma, Dada, HI (this is his fav)
-If you tell him to dance, or shake his booty, he moves all around.
-No walking yet-- or any desire for that matter. He has been walking around furniture for about 1-2 months and will not let go, and go on his own.
-He will stand up on his own and stay there for a little bit.. about 5-10 seconds before he reaches straight for the ground.
-He can go up the stairs, but CAN NOT go back down, he does the head first move and scares you to death
-He pretty much eats normal human food now, no more baby foods (unless we eat something he cant eat)
-He has 6 teeth already
-He is a MONSTER when you change his but and flips all around and freaks out. He HATES it.
-He is scared of the water in the bath tub, if it gets any higher then his ears he FREAKS out.
-He hates his nightly rub down of lotion after he gets out of the bath, (but it is necessary from his baby eczema)
-He goes to bed about 7:30-9:00 PM and sleeps until about 7:00-7:30 AM every day. (except on weekdays, i have to wake him up for daycare about 6:30)
-He is SO happy -- You would never guess that he was such a fussy baby.
-He is a HITTER -- he hits everything and everyone. We try to hit his hand back so he gets the point that he can not hit, however he thinks that it is funny and a game. So we try to firmly tell him NO and he still just looks at us like we are crazy, and usually hits us again. I have no idea how to break him out of this -- it is hard. If you do something he doesn't like (like put him down from holding him) he will crawl after you and HIT your leg and give you a crusty look.
-He screams about everything. You will just hear him all of a sudden squeal/scream for no reason and sometimes continues on his scream for 5-10 minutes.
-He knows his sisters name, when we say it he just searches all around the room for her.
-He loves to throw and play with balls.
-He still loves to be outside. Any opportunity he gets to get out of the house, he runs for the door.

Happy 1st Birthday Remz!!

This year for Remzley's birthday we had 1 big party with both Riley and my families. Because there are SO many of us (my family) we rented the Lehi Riding Club so we would not be squished in our house. We had sloppy Joes, Salads, Cake, and Ice Cream.
I can not believe that my baby is 1 already!! Where does time go?
Here are a few pics of the b-day party.

Remzley waiting for the birthday guests to arrive, eating a BIG smartie sucker that dad bought for him.


Opening his presents from everyone.


His cute new hat that mom and dad got for him.. how cute is that?


Here is the REAL 1st birthday cake:



Remz's own 1st birthday cake. He wanted NOTHING to do with the cake. He just sat there for a good 10-15 minutes and then everyone started helping him stick his hands in there. Once we gave him a spoon, he dug right on in... Such a fella with manners! haha


Finally ate his cake and loving it!!




He was SO filthy that my wonderful mother-in-law Jackie bathed him in the sink.


He had such a wonderful time and got a MILLION toys and clothes. Thanks to everyone that came!!

My Birthday

This year for my birthday, Riley spoiled me and took me to Park City. We went shopping all day long at the outlet mall up there and then we came down to Sandy and ate at Ruby River (one of my fav's) and then we went to the Southtowne mall for some more shopping. We topped it off with a movie at the house and a night alone with NO kids.

It was a great birthday and we spent an undesirable amount of money, but we got quite a bit of stuff for the Kids for Christmas!!

I love my life and the people in it!! Here's to another great 25 years!!
