Sunday at the Lake

We decided to check out Herriman Lake. Sulli loved it.

Island Park

We went to Island Park at the end of June for 5 days for the Maughan Family Reunion.
It was definitely an experience as this was the first time Sulli had been away from home for more than 2 days. He did surprisingly well, I think I can say he did better than mom and dad. :)

Oakland was so nice to share her toys.

Love this one. (he's thinking about when he lost his cool) J/K I just think he looks handsome!

this boy is 6 months

he loves.........

laughing at dad - any quick karate chop or kick will get him going. Really just dad in general - he always gets so excited when he sees him.

gatorade - must be the colors, but he is obsessed.

food - he wants to eat everything we are.

sleeping on his belly- i always lay him down on his back but within a few minutes he is on his tummy.

trying to suck on his toes - he just isn't very limber - definitely got that from dad, it is kinda sad he tries SO hard.

faces - any and everyones face - he will always give you a big grin.

his milestones........

he has a tooth - his bottom right.

sitting on his own - but with pillows close by, he can fall pretty hard.

solids - he eats oatmeal and either a fruit or veggie 3 times a day.

daytime routine - he wakes up around 7am, naps at 8:45 til 10-10:30 naps again at 1:45 til 3 and dinner/bedtime starts at 6pm. i kept waiting for him to put himself on a schedule and that never happened, so this was for sure parent led - wish i would have done it earlier.

he weighs - 16 lbs 7 oz ~30%

his height - 27 in ~ 75%

his head is ~ 17.3 ~ 60%

my little baby

He is adorable, strong and silly.Oh how I love him.

Bryce

Bryce is getting back into the running thing again, he has a half marathon coming up at the end of the month.

Work is going good, he is staying pretty busy. He has mainly been working from home since we've had Sulli. If anyone needs an auto quote or life insurance give him a call! :)

Bryce is reading a lot, and is so excited that he is a new owner of a LIBRARY CARD.


Kianna

I have decided to go part time at work, just a couple days a week.

I am trying to cook more, the slow cooker is for sure the way to go!

I am attempting to run.



Sullivan

He has started sleeping through the night, most nights.

He is so smiley and happy!

He is getting so strong. When I try to burp him over my shoulder he stands in my lap, and he can now sit in his bumbo all by himself.

a little update

Last Sunday was a great day! Not only was it Sullivan's blessing day, he slept from 8pm until 5:30 Sunday morning, then he went back down until 8:30. Anyways, I'm sure I'm not alone, but I was so nervous he would scream through the whole thing.

Once he was up he was all smiles, and so happy the whole morning, which made it so nice for mom and dad. We originally bought him a formal little outfit with a vest a little tiny bow tie, which was adorable, but just didn't fit our little guy. So he was blessed in a onesie that dad made him, with comfy white pants and white socks. Bryce gave him an awesome blessing and he didn't cry at all!

We had Sullli's 2 month check up and he has grown to 12 lbs and 23 1/2 inches. Here are a few pictures we taken lately!!!

His sad face.......

Tummy time.........

What a difference a few weeks and sleep can do! Since Sullivan was about 2 weeks old he had been spitting up ALL THE TIME and would get so upset and you could just tell he was uncomfortable. We took him in the the Dr. a couple weeks later and decided to try Zantac to help with the acid reflux. What a difference it has made, along with a little bedtime routine, he is one sweet little baby. We don't have much of a day routine yet, I just have to make sure he gets in lots of naps through out the day. When I do....I get lots of these!!!

















He is definitely growing so fast, too fast! Each day is getting easier and more fun! I just love that little face!

Sullivan's Baby Announcement

Almost a month.

I can't believe how fast time goes. Our little guy is doing so good, and he'll be a month old in 2 days. He has been getting a little more fussy, but he usually calms pretty quickly. He is starting to be awake longer during the day, but still doesn't last longer than 2 hrs before he needs a nap. We have started a bedtime routine, and his sleep has been going a little longer at night. Now we are just waiting for that first little smile.

We had a friend take some pictures of Sullivan when he was two weeks old and she is awesome, I just love them all! That picture above is one of them....I will post the rest soon!!!

1 Week Old!

Bryce and I have been blessed with such great family and friends. We wanted to give everyone a special thanks for all of the texts, phone calls, well-wishes, gifts, visits, dinners, and donations for the nursery. We can't thank you enough and we are very happy to know Sullivan has so many people out there who love him so much! Here are a couple pictures of Sulli's first week with us.
