9 Months Old!!

I really can't believe how fast time flies by! Cruz is already 9 months old! Man, he is just the cutest, and best kid in the whole wide world! I'm so thankful that he is a part of my crazy life! He has been sick these last few days, and hasn't been able to keep anything down so taking him to his 9 month appt was not so fun. He only weighs a pound more then he did at his 6 month appt. :( Not so cool. His latest stats are... Weight: 18 lbs 7.5 oz. He is in the 25 percentile. Height: 28 3/4 inches. He is in the 75 percentile. So there you have it! Here are so a recent pics of the little cutie!

Cruz and his daddy!

My little Cruz is amazing

Just in case you didn't know it, my little one is totally amazing. He has been crawling for over a month now, and has now started "cruzin" along the funiture. I just thought I would post a couple pictures of him in action...sorry he doesn't have pants on in these pictures. Thank goodness he is a baby!

This one reminds me of his Uncle Chris when he was little. Completely focused and tongue out! l love it!

...I'm lovin' it!

I have always hated doing the dishes. Especially at my house, until recently...Cruz loves it when I do the dishes! Its so entertaining now! He can play forever at the dish washer while I finish up the dishes. I honestly love doing the dishes now! I'm just glad Cruz can't crawl up onto the dish washer yet...then the hating will start all over again! As for now I'm lovin' doing my dishes!

Temple Day

Sorry blog world, another post...in the same day. Cruz, Tayte (the little boy I watch) and I had a temple day today and I just wanted to post a couple pictures.

My adorable little boy and the incredible Temple.

Man, I love this kid.

Tayte. He is such the sweetest little boy!

I'm also just so thankful that I live so close to this wonderful Temple!!

Camping with the Bostock Clan

This last weekend we were able to go camping...err..kind of camping with Drew's family. We actually didn't technically go camping, but they did! We just went up the canyon and visited them while they went camping. We also ate all their wonderful food!! Here are a couple pictures of the little...trip

Cindy and Cruz. This one is by far my favorite!


Cruz man, and Brett. Yeah, they are best buds.

Florida baby!

In the Sunshine State

We officially went on our first family Vacation, and man was it GREAT! It first started out packing...anyone who knows us, we like to do things "inexpensively" so we didn't want to have to pay for more then one bag. We packed it the night before, and measured and weighed it and hoped it wasn't over the 50 lb limit. We got to the airport and it was exactly 50 lbs! EXACTLY! Crazy eh? Yea, we are good! On the flight home, it weighed exactly 50 as well, and that time we didn't even have a scale!

Anyway, that was only the beginning. The trip just continued to get better and better. Cruz did pretty good (definitely not great) on the flight down, and then was great for the rest of the trip. We didn't pack his pack-n-play because of the weight issue so we had him sleep in the closet...I promise it wasn't child abuse!! It actually worked out great, and he loved it.

This is the sweet car we got as a rental. We were suppose to be getting the smallest cheapest car in the place, but they were out of them...so we got this! Yeah, we got lucky.

Cruz, cruising in the sweet car.

Florida was awesome. I always imagined it would be beautiful, and it sure is! So green, and just chuck full of vegetation. I loved it!

Drew picking oranges. The oranges were actually extremely sour...oh well.

While we were there we were able to go down memory lane for Drew (that's were he went on his mission) It was so awesome. He just came alive with stories, he was like a kid in a candy store for the first time. It was a really neat experience to see that part of his life.

We were also able to visit a family he taught while he was there. They were so amazing, and fed us delicious food. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

The Devera Family

We also visited the beautiful Orlando Temple. Unfortunately it was closed for cleaning so we weren't able to go through a session.

We got to go to Disney World too! A guy that Drew knew from his mission worked there and was able to give us the hook ups which worked out wonderfully for us :) It was a lot of fun! I would have to say our favorite park was Animal Kingdom. Here are a couple pictures... Sorry this post is chuck full of pictures...

A nice stranger took our picture, and they did good huh! I swear that never happens!

My boys in Disney World!

Cruz and his new Disney hat

The awesome car show we saw in Disney.

The beach was a blast, that's what I was really excited about. Don't worry, we didn't get a tan or anything...I was a little bummed, but it was sure beautiful.

It was a wonderful well needed trip. It always seems like they go by way to fast though. I'm glad we enjoyed it while it lasted! Now its time to plan for our next adventure...hopefully to Oregon!

6 months old...and some.

Cruz is approximately 6 months and 15 days old. He is such a wonderful baby, and I just thought I needed to up date the world on how he is growing! At his six month check up he weighed 17lbs. 1 oz. (50th percentile) and 27 inches long (75th percentile). Here are a couple things that he has been up to!

• 
• He loves to be on the go.
• He is constantly on the move.
• He hates to sit, and when you hold him on your lap he insists on standing up.
  
• He loves to play with his feet.
• He is able to sit up.
  
• He loves bath/shower time.
• He is constantly drooling, but still no teeth yet.
  
• He loves playing copy cat.
• He learned how to drink out of a sippy cup.

I sure am proud of our little boy, and am so thankful for his sweet spirit that he brings into our home. I'm constantly in awe as I watch him grow and learn. What a beautiful blessing it is to be a mother.
