4 month mark.

4 months is here. (well, technically now it's 4 months and 14 days)
Leo had his check up the other day. He is a happy healthy baby. He is weighing in at 15 lbs. 6 oz. and he is 25 inches long.

Leo the lion is no longer just something we say around this household. This little baby growls on a regular basis, sticking true to "Leo the Lion". He growls when he's happy, when he's sad, and even when he's bored.

Gosh, time is flying by so fast. He is rolling over, standing up (with assistance), grabbing at everything and putting his fists in his mouth. Oh and now he's bald. haha. He was born with so much hair and now he has this large shiny bald head with a tiny patch of hair on the back of his head. I have contemplated buzzing it off but I think I'll leave it alone. What if I shave it off and it never grows back?! My poor kid.

Anyways.... we are having so much fun together as a family. We love every second we get together.

Leo truly knows who we are. It is such a precious thing. Whenever I speak Leo looks all over the room until he can find his mama. He just stares at me while I talk. Same thing happens when Brady speaks, except Leo gets a HUGE grin on his face while he stares. It's the best.

Leo is getting more adventurous in the tub he loves to kick and splash and play. I cherish the bath time. It's mommy and baby time. Just the two of us spending time together. So much fun.

No solid foods yet, says the doctor. Thank goodness. Honestly, I am totally not ready for solid foods yet. Too messy, I am not ready for the mess.

Sometimes Leo gets really excited. This usually happens whenever daddy is around or right after he wakes up from his nap while I am changing his diaper. He gets really excited flailing his arms and legs all over the place. And the best part is when he takes in a really big breath and sticks his arms and legs out straight and shakes. Almost like he had a jolt of sugar shot through his body or something. It's so funny.

Leo is an amazing son!

Now, I need to figure out what he is going to be for Halloween!!

it's true, we moved.

yes, we moved to washington a couple of weeks ago. let me just give you a sneak peek at what we get to see everyday.

we live in the foothills of these :



nestled next to this:



surrounded by rolling hills covered in these:



so to say the least, it's beautiful. every move is an adjustment and we are adjusting. but the gorgeous view outside our door makes it all much easier. everyone is welcoming and very kind. so far, so good.

braden got a job transfer and i am able to stay at home with my handsome boy, Leo. we are very blessed to have come upon the situation we are in now. it's a new, fun adventure for our family and we are happy because we are together- as a family. of course, we miss all our friends and family back in salt lake.

leo is getting sooooo big!! he's is just so much fun. we are lucky to have such a good baby boy. he smiles at anyone who gives him attention, but he smiles the biggest for his daddy. brady will just be in the room and leo stares and smiles. he admires his daddy, it is so sweet. if you work hard enough, he will give you a good belly laugh. he is such a joy, my superbaby.




honestly, we couldn't be happier.

who's baby is that?

can you guess who's baby Leo is? that's right- he's mine. haha. I need to do this same thing with Braden's baby photo as well. i absolutely love that this baby is mine and the proof is there for everyone to see. minus the yoda ears and flock of seagulls hair-do.
