Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well, I am lazy to put pictures up because my computer runs at a super snails pace. I am loving the Christmas holiday. Its hard with Jeremy right now because I have to tell him no like all the time. He wants to unplug and plug in the Christmas lights, take the ornaments down, etc, etc etc. He just doesn't understand the words no. What 16 month old baby does? In the past week Jeremy has started saying some new words. He can say cracker, it sounds like crk kr. He says Coco, that is our dog. He still says Kitty. He can say Teeth, I ask him where are his teeth and he says tee as he points to them. He says daddy with smiles on his face...no mommy. I asked him to say mommy and he said daddy and pointed to me. The other day he brought me a ball and said ba. Just this past week he started to mimick more sounds. He is at a vewry fun age but a very hard age.
For christmas, Mike got me a small dog!! YAYY for me. Her name is Bella, she is a year old and is a mini-pin chiuahua mix. She has really taken to me. She follows me every where. Once we get our computer more memory, I will post picutres of everything you have missed. So Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Okay So Im slacking a bit!

So I have been busy or lazy about posting. I dont really have anything exciting to blog and I think thats why I have been slacking. So for thanksgiving, I had it at my new house. Since my mom lives right across the street, she helped me bake the turkey. It turned out delicious. All day cooking for 15 mintues of eating.. Boy what a mess. Our Christmas plans are to stay home and enjoy our firstr christmas in our first home. For Christmas eve, we are having both families over for dinner. It is going to be crazy! There are going to be about 20 people. So wish me luck. Well happy holidays everyone and I will post pictures soon!

Happy Halloween!!

For Halloween this year we went to Lambardy's ranch and picked out a pumpkin. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to carve it because I got sick in the middle of the week. We did go to our ward party and these are the pictures we took before it. On Halloween, we went trick or treating around our neighborhood and then to Mike's parent's neighborhood. Jeremy had lots of fun!

Our little Bam Bam

So cute! Right?

So our little family went as the Rubbles from the Flintstones.

Jeremy at 15 months!

We went to an Alemany football game and Jeremy loved playing with the balooon. He loves smacking it all around. He would just laugh and laugh!

So we are growing Jeremy's hair out into the cute surfer look. I love playing with his hair in the tub. He is just so funny.!! So heres a crazy Mohawk that he will never go out in public with....hehe

Lets see..... Jeremy turned 15 months on the 22nd. He is the happiest baby I know. I guess hes not a baby anymore...hes a kid! He has become very opinionated! If he does not get what he wants he throws himself into a squatting position and has his hands in little fists ans scream at me! Its kind of funny.

Here is a list of what he can do:

* he is almost running. When he falls he just gets back up and starts to walk again. He has very good balance

*he says kitty when he see our cat. He says "kitty" and laughs with taht same "itty" sound

*he says Mama and Dada very rarely!

*When he wants something is says aw wa aw wa very loudly and points to what he wants.

*He is getting very good at copying our sounds that we make. He is almost saying book. He says "bo" after we say it. So hes getting close.

*He waves hi and bye

*Shakes his head yes and no. Also say "ya" Right now everything is no!! When Mike or anyone else looks at him and says hi he shakes his head no with a huge smile!

*He can sign the word poop..hehe When I ask him if he has a poop he signs it and usually he has one. But if you say the word he wil sign it! So the somprehention is almost there but not quite!

*When i am cooking, he grabs my leg and pushes me so I will hold him

*He loves playing with Mr. Potato head. He is very good at putting the pieces in the little holes.

* He is still taking 2 naps a day that ranges from 2-3 hours..I know hes a good sleeper. He is transfering into the 1 nap a day but is very grumpy if he does not get 2.

*He loves music. He carrys the drum sticks around and taps everything. If he doesn't have the sticks he will bang things with his hands. When we are at my parents house he lokes to play the piano. He will sit at my lap and play very nicely; he doesn't bang the keys hard at all. He also won't play untill I turn the piano light on...hes very professional.

* When we tell him no no he shakes his head no and does whatever he was doing anyway. He knows when hes not suppose to do anything. For example, he loves turning the TV on and off. He will go up to the TV shake his head no and pushes the button. Then when we go over to him and say no he pushes it as many times as he can. When we pull him away from it he smiles and laughs. He thinks getting in trouble is funny.....

Well thats all I can really think of So untill next time!

Our house!

Well this is our new house! I will put pictures of the inside when we have totally moved in. So for now this is it. We love it here. The best part of it is living right next to my parents. Its not like everyone loves raymond at all! They knock and ask to come over. Its also great to know that this is our place where we will raise Jeremy and any other future children. Don't miss the post below!

We have moved in!!

Well the move was a success! We are in our new home. Once everything is unpacked, I will post pictures of the house, the rooms, the pool, the massive work of a hill, and much more. We are so happy to be here. Jeremy loves it. He has so much room to move around. So until next time!

My crazy life right now!

Well Mike andI baught a home and escrow closes on September 30th. We get to move in hopefully the 2nd of October. We really can't wait. As of right now we are living with Mike's parents to save a months rent from our old condo. All of our stuff is in storage and can't really post pictures up yet. Jeremy is 13 1/2 months old and is walking everywhere!! I can't believe it. This past year has gone by sooo fast. Jeremy said "daddy" at Mikes football game last friday night. We went up towards the locker room to see the team come back from half time and Mike was standing outside and I pointed to Mike and said Jeremy look its daddy...Jeremy then pointed to him and said it. I was amazed!! He has been saying mama and dada but this was clear as day!! Hes so cute and love every minute of him. So untill next time!!

Random pics of the summer....

Cute as a bug. This is my favorite smile because it is just so funny. I apologize for having so many posts at once. But when you have a busy summer and a very busy baby...you really don't have that much time to blog!! I still have to post his birthday and our Laughlin trip, so look for those in the next few days. So please enjoy what I have posted.....

Jeremy is almost walking. He will take a few steps and then start to crawl!

Lock up your daughters.......

Hmmm....what should I do? And yes I do think Jeremy is rad!

At a a football passing game.

All ready for the beach.....

Jeremy loves graham crackers. He likes having two one for each hand. He takes a bite from one, and then the other.

Crazy hair....he wakes up with the craziest hiar...what does he do while sleeping?

New summer jammies. This picture is the beginning of one of his favorite games to play and one of mine and mikes least favorite. He takes out all the DVDs and then drops them on the ground and steps onthem...what a mess.

This picture was taken at a football BBQ. Mike's coaching staff had the honor of coaching the All Stars game and this was the BBQ they had to award the players and coaches.

Twilzzlers are so yummy....

Since Jeremy has been eating solid foods, he likes to try everything we eat...including twizzlers. He will even take it out of our mouths! He is one stubborn baby..must get that from daddy....

Please give me more daddy! We don't give him candy all the time, we just give him little tastes. Don't forget the post below!

1st Carousel Ride

When Mike's family comes down, all the little girls like riding the carousel. So, we decided that Jeremy should ride it as well. So here's a picture of him getting ready...loving every minute of it

All ready mom!!

Clapping as it is going around!

Hi mom!! Don't forget the post below!

Sky City

This place is so much fun! It is an indoor bouncy paly area. They have three different rooms. One that is for big kids, a medium room with smaller slides, and a "baby" room for kids ages 1-4. Jeremy loved all three rooms. This picture is in the small kid room. He loved crawling on the play equipment.

There was a little car in the baby room and we had to put him in it. He is so cute!

Jeremy and Daddy in one of the crawl spaces.

Going down a big slide! He thought it was so much fun. When you would get up to the top, he would try to scoot down himself! The best part of this place is that parents are free and so are babies 2 years and under! Then it it is only $10 for however long you want to play. Don't forget the post below!

What hand is it in??

Jeremy and his daddy play this game all the time. Jeremy is actually really good at it. If he doesn't get the hand the first time, he opens the other hand and has the biggest smile! This is just one of the games we play with him. Another one he likes is he takes his pacifier out and puts it in our mouth then takes it back and so forth. He thinks its quite funny to see mommy or daddy with it in our mouths! Don't forget the post below!

Beach trips

Jeremy is always so happy when we are at the beach. This one day we went, we came with Mike's family when it was 105 degrees here in Santa Clarita and at the beach is was like 60! We couldn't believe it. I was not prepared for that! I was so cold. Fortunately I had a sweatshirt for Jeremy.

Jeremy liked playing with the shovel. He would hit it in the sand and get sand all over our towels. He thought it was pretty funny. Fortunately he doesn't eat the sand....yay for me!

Daddy and JEremy touching the water......he doesn't like it too much

This time at the beach it was BEAUTIFUL. The perfect day at the beach!

Jeremy and his Auntie Sicka. Don't forget the post below!!

Baby naked games....

Jeremy LOVES being naked. Every time I get him out of the tub and try to get him dresses..he crawls away as fast as he can laughing. A while back he had a really bad diaper rash, so we let him crawl around naked to help with the healing process. One time Mike started to chase him and Jeremy would laugh and laugh and laugh ...then he would chase Mike. It was really funny. He is just one happy camper!!!

My little Guy!

So I have been SOOO busy with Summer fun! We had cousins, and beach trips, and zoo trips, and a birthday party and tomorrow, we are going to Laughlin. So when we return, I will post all the fun things we did in individual posts...so don't miss any of them. I thought that this was a cute picture of Jeremy. He loves playing with the drums sticks, he bangs them on everything! His aunti C-C gave him a music set for his birthday and he plays with it non-stop. So keep looking for new posts!

Tons of new things!!!

Sorry its been awhile!! I have been so busy with family. I have tons of pictures that I will post so keep a look out!!! So for now that is it. I will post all those up soon!

I don't really have any.....

Thing to post! Life had been kinda boring the past few weeks. No new milestones, no fun trips, nothing! However, this weekend we are going to the San Diego Zoo! We are so excited. Jiffy Lube was having a promotion; if you got an oil change you would get a free ticket to the zoo. So since both my car and Mike's car needed a change we decided to go with Jiffy Lube. So we are going to the zoo. I love the zoo.
Exciting news...we got a new vacuum that actually works! You know you are married when you are excited about a vacuum! We had this really cheap Dirt Devil that "un-sucked" So we bite the bullet and got a good vacuum that picks up all the pet hair! YAY for us.
Plans for this summer:
We are planning a trip up to Utah for Jeremy's 1st birthday and last a trip to Laughlin the first week of August. Also to lose this awful post pregnancy belly!
So there it is....sorry it is so boring.

Memorial Day Fun and more milestones

For Memorial day we went to the beach for the first time this year. We were so excited to see what Jeremy was going to do in the sand. The minute we put his feet on the sand he started to walk with the support of our hands. He also liked to crawl in it. Luckily he did not eat it! I know what you are thinking, "Anna your hair is blond again!" Yes I just can't stay brunette that long!

Our little rocker. Whenever we have music on Jeremy gets so happy. On Memorial Day, Mike and I were playing rock band during Jeremy's morning nap. When he woke up he saw daddy playing and wanted to be held by him. So we posed him like this!

Here they are playing!

Jeremy has started to really like this pooh bear. Every nap and bedtime I put it in his hands and he cuddles it!

On Saturday, we had to wake Jeremy up from his morning nap and this is the way we saw him. We just though that it was so cute! He is laying on his pooh bear. The reason we had to wake him up was because we went house looking. We found three homes that we put offers on...so we are crossing our fingers! They are all short sales so we are still on the prowl!!

JEREMY IS 10 MONTHS!!!
I can't believe that my little boy is almost 1 year old! Time flies so fast. It still feels like I just brought him home from the hospital! Well about a month ago, Jeremy decided that he did not want to nurse; so, I started to get frustrated. I tried formula and apple juice and water. He just didn't want to drink. When I would try to nurse him he would latch on for like 30 seconds and be done with it. So finally on Memorial Day he started to drink formula! YAY. I am so happy because he is getting the liquid and nutrients that he needed! I'm not too sad about not nursing, just glad that he is finally getting the things that he needs!
So at 10 months, Jeremy is:
~ crawling EVERYWHERE!!
~He can pull himself up in is crib
~He still sleeps through the night 8:30-about 7:30 and takes 2, 2 hour naps
~Has started to babble "mamama" "dadda" "bababa" and is babbling ALL the time!
~He eats all the time. He is one growing boy!
~He makes us laugh. He thinks he is the funniest boy. He know when he is being funny!

Well until next time!!!

Summer Fun in the Spring!

Due to the incredible hot weather, we went swimming for the first time. We had so much fun. Jeremy loved it! This is Jeremy all ready to go in the pool!

Jeremy and his best friend Cali...all ready!

Jeremy with his friends Wyatt and Cali

Both of us in the pool. You can't tell but Jeremy was having a blast! We let him sit on the edge of the pool and he would "jump" off into my hands and he just loved it. HE loved being swished around in the water. We can't wait to go the beach for the first time...it could be this coming Saturday!

Jeremy had had an ear infection and sore thought so we let him eat our Popsicles! He loves them. We love living in So. Cal so we can do summer fun all year round!
