WATERMELON

This little boy has discovered watermelon and LOVES it! I put it in his teething ring and he just goes to town on it! I can't wait to buy more fruit to put in it. We went to the doc. today because he hasn't been acting himself. Waking up more at night and more whiny during the day. He has a cold. So to say the least we have been lounging in our jammies and watching some cartoons! Hopefully the weather gets nice so we can go outside and bake the cold out of him!

Spring happenings...

We are so lucky to have a park so close to our house! We have finally been meeting some friends so we meet up with them at the park! We had such a great time watching the kids play. Dane's new favorite thing is to swing! He just giggles while we push him. As we were leaving my friend Lindsey was saying good bye to him and he waved back at her! Gotta love the firsts!

We are finally getting our yard put together! We went and got some flowers to plan the other day. Dane even helped while he dug in the dirt and sucked on rocks! Haha

...and yes that is our grass coming up! We hydro seeded it 2 weeks ago and we can't believe how fast it is coming!! We have just a few things to do in our yard like plant a few bushes and hook up our drip system around the house.

HURRAY for summer....can't wait for the warm weather!!

Sesame Street

As we were going through our morning routine, I looked over at Dane and he was engrossed in Sesame Street! He would look at me and then move his arms back and forth and scream! Man we just love this little boy!

To my MOM!

Seriously, my mom is the best! The other day my door bell rang and it was a box of flower...as I opened up the box there was a card that read "Thanks for being such a great mom to our little Dane!" Wow can we say that tears came to my eyes! She is such a great example in so many ways!!

Gram and my little man

Thanks mom for always being there for me and for being my best friend and for being such an AWESOME Gram...cracker!!!

Tooth Fairy

Dear Tooth Fairy,

Thank you so much for FINALLY coming to visit Dane so that his teeth will come in! We officially have at least 1 tooth on its way. Boy are mom and dad happy! This has been a game that we have been playing for 4 months now. We will be excited for your return back to pick up that same tooth in 5 or so years!

Love--Carrie

(Dane has been such a trouper the last few days! As you can tell from this picture, he is constantly drooling everywhere. I get him up from his nap and within minutes his shirt is soaking wet. He won't let me take a picture. He will occasionally let me take a peak. Must be a boy thing!!)

8 Months

Dane turned 8 months last week! Wowzers, where does time go? I had to take his picture in these awesome boots. This was the first thing we got for him a year ago when we found out we were having a BOY!! The monkey is measuring 30 1/2 inches long and weighing at 23.6 lbs!

Here are a few things he is doing:

*clapping

*says Mamama, dadada, papapa & bababa

*roars like a lion if you roar at him

*thinking about crawling

*wants to try EVERYTHING that we are eating

*loves to eat in general

*sticks his tongue out

*hates lotion and getting dressed

*loves to take Brent's hat off his head

*super ticklish on his thighs, up the side of his body and in his neck

*loves to cuddle

*plays peck a boo

*weaves his arms back and forth when he gets excited and screams

Happy Easter!

We had such a great Easter! First of all, Dane got his first package in the mail from his Gram (a.k.a my mom) & Steve! As you can tell, he LOVED the peeps!

Later that day, my mom and Steve ended up showing up to spend the Easter weekend with us! Man did we have such a great time. We colored eggs which was a blast! My mom and I had a hard time trying to figure out what color the tablet was so she would stick them on her tongue and turned it colors! Dane liked the stickers that came with the egg coloring set. Plus my mom got him this little caterpillar and it moves and he was trying to figure out how it was moving! Ha total classic Brent! I swear the kid is starting to remind me of Brent more and more every day!!

To say the least we had so much fun. We went out to dinner at a restaurant in Santaquin and it was soooo good. The menu said that everything was served with a scone...okay well when they brought them out, they were GINORMOUS! As you can tell Brent was holding one...it looked like Idaho, upside down! Dane didn't sleep much due to he didn't want to miss out on anything! He finally fell asleep in his car seat holding his shark!! Cute boy!!

My mom and Steve had to head back on Saturday and then 20 mins. later my cousin and his wife showed up!! We had a blast with them too! They had to go to a reception in Lehi so we went with them and then we went to Cabela's after that. We fed the fish, (good thing we had Ry to shake the food machine so we could get some) looked at the aquarium, took pictures (sorry Barb and Ry, somehow that picture I took of you guys didn't save...booo). Ha, then Easter morning came around and I was getting ready to hide eggs for everyone but they all woke up!!

Ohh well, we still had a great time! Thanks everyone for coming to visit us...PLEASE come back again!!!
