Superman....

We had some GOOD times with the beanbag and grandpa. The pics say it all.






Funny Boy

This picture of Strider totally cracks me up! Gotta Love it.

Bye Bye Curls...



Hello Big Boy!!

Strider got his first haircut. One day I just decided to cut it. Weird huh? Anyways, he looks SO much older now. He really is growing up so much. Where is my baby going?

15 months and going strong

My baby is already 15 months old :(. Strider had his well-check yesterday and he is still holding his own. Here are his stats:
weight: 29 lbs - 96%
height: 32.75 inches - 95%
head: 18.5 inches - 53%

He is super healthy and doing great. Seriously, I am still quite enamored by this boy. He makes me smile so much. He is a BIG MAMA's boy. He loves me, what can I say. That's okay because I still like him too (most the time). He loves to help lately. He LOVES to pick up toys and he absolutely adores Taegen and Kyler. He can hold his own when he wrestles and plays with his brothers. He really is so sweet. He has been fully walking for about a month now. He loves to feed himself and he also loves to imitate T & K. If they laugh, he laughs. If they throw food, he throws food. He thinks he is really fun. He says "Ya" to anything that he wants. He signs more and please. When he signs he smiles HUGE because he is so proud of his accomplishment of actually getting what he is asking for. He says "dink" (drink), mama, dada, tata (taegen), er (kyler), he folds his arms when we pray and he throws his arms up and says "men" amen when he's done praying. He really is a keeper.

Say Cheese.


I LOVE our new family photo. I love Taegen's cheese because this is totally how he smiles with super squinty eyes. Totally Taegen. Then there is Kyler who has just pulled his hands away from his face playing peek-a-boo with the photographer. This also explains why Taegen's head is popping out to say peek-a-boo. Strider is just SO cute with his little grin and dimple. Notice how I had to hold his hands down because he too was playing peek-a-boo. Ryan just looks like a freaking, super hot daddy/husband. I, don't look too bad, if I say so myself. So all in all, a GREAT photo.

Just keep trying...Just keep trying...

Strider is SO close to walking. He can actually walk across the room. He is definitely a little wobbly but he is really trying hard to walk. He stands up in the center of the room without holding on to anything and just smiles until somebody notices him and then he starts clapping. He is so cute and he gets SO proud of himself when he walks even a few steps. Love this boy.

Strider's Birthday Part 2

First came the presents. The neighbors came over to help celebrate. We purposely didn't really invite them until like 2 hours before so they wouldn't get Strider a gift. Well, it didn't work. They got Strider a gift and Taegen and Kyler little presents too. So nice. Thanks Powells!!
Matthew, Taegen and Kyler opened the presents and Strider just played with them.Then came the cake...Strider did not disappoint. He got cake EVERYWHERE. He loved it. He was eating it like crazy and laughing and throwing it. It was awesome. Loved it!Me and my clean birthday boy! Love this little chubba lubba!
