Moments I want to remember forever!

- Yesterday I was nannying and Mike was texting me because he was on his lunch break. Seppi grabbed my phone and started playing with it. He plays with my phone all the time so I didn't think much about it. The next thing I hear is my phone making its little jingle that says that a text has just been sent. I took the phone from him and went back to the sent texts and he sent Mike a text that said "HI" I died laughing, he's either super genius or it was a major coincidence. - On mornings that I don't work, Seppi and I watch curious george from 7-7:30 he either snuggles with me and points at the television saying "oo-aa" or he's up in the t.v screen like Lucky on 101 dalamations. - When I nanny and read the other kids stories, Seppi stops playing and comes to sit right by us to join in on the reading. He loves books! - Sometimes Seppi will walk to his room, grab a book from his little shelf, climb on the rocking chair and open the book! I Love finding him like that. -his favorite books these days are "The Very Quiet Cricket" and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" - He laughs when we sing the Skunk song!! - When we sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" he tries SO HARD to do the actions and he gets really excited. When the song is over we cheer and clap and do it again and again! - Eating dirt! - Sometimes when we have a meal he'll eat more than me, and he doesn't weigh much! Where does he pack it all in? - At night when I fill up his Sippy cup with milk he'll take it and walk to his room and wait for me by the books and rocking chair for our nightly ritual of reading a story and singing a song! -Everytime I fill his sippy cup he stands right next to me and waits very UNPATIENTLY. He says "nigh nigh" over and over. I'm starting to think thats what he calls mild or thats what he associates milk with -going night night. -He points when he sees any bird and laughs when I say "cheep cheep" - Loves airplanes and helocopters, sometimes he sees and hears them before I do. The other day we went to his Dr. appointment at the UofU hospital and Air Med came in really close to land right as we were waiting to get our car. They saw Seppi's big look of awe and his hugely pointed finger, looked down at him and waved to him. Very exciting! - Yesterday Seppi sat in his NEW car seat, he now sits forward and LOVES IT!!! He can now feel the A.C. in his face and he said "wow" when I first put him in. His smile was so big and everytime I looked back he smiled again and again, like "this is so cool!" He is so happy that his legs actually fit on the seat again! He's getting so tall! - I Love it when he'll randomly stop what he's doing and walk over to give me great big hugs and will pat my back while he hugs! He is such a sweet heart! -When we go swimming he looks at Mike's nipples and poke them as if he's saying "dad whats this?" HAHA - He screams when Mike pretends to drop him from his shoulders! - Tries so hard to count 1-2-3 when ever we count with him. Mike will count when they are playing golf, or I count when we play with blocks. - He dances everytime any music turns, he's got great moves! - He clapps his hands whenever he's done dancing or we're done singing or if a commercial or show that we have on has an applause he'll clap with them! - He tries to sing along to the hymns at church, or with me when we sing (which is like all day long!). - He tries to put the phone to his ear and say "HI" all in a whisper! - His favorite toy is a rubber duck! - He takes any small toy and puts it in the little mail slot. He loves playing with that. - He says "uh-oh" whenver he drops things. - He breaths really heavily when he's excited about something! There are so many other things that he does that are so fun and funny! these are just the ones I thought of today!

Memorial Weekend and Bear lake visit!

This last weekend Kristi, Hailee, Seppi and I went up to Bear Lake to visit our other sissy poo who lives there. We walked every morning up through her neighborhood which is up hill and rocky! So tuff! We felt the BURN!! it was a lot of fun.
We also did a craft together, Jami helped us make little church bags and Kristi gave Jami a perm. The kids had a blast. 3 babies all within 6 months of eachother!



Here are the 3 babies! They are so cute! Chelsea (Jami's Baby), Hailee (Kristi's baby), and Jeseppi (my baby)



One morning after our walk it was SO COLD and Seppi and Hailee were just shivering, We gave them a nice warm bath together! I remember having baths with my cousins too when I was little! haha. this is their first one!



Over Memorial weekend we went up to Hooper which is where Kristi is living this Summer and we had a BBQ and rode their horses and played games with my family! We all had a great time. Seppi was a champ on the horse with Mike, HE LOVES ANIMALS.
He was holding on so tight for the first little circle and then loosened up a bit after that! What a fun day!



On Saturday of Memorial Day weekend Mike and I took Seppi up to This is the Place and let Seppi play with the baby animals.
He got to ride a pony and pet a puppy, kitty, baby duck, baby chick, lamb, bunny, piglets, and baby goats! He had a great time and was so happy!
We also rode 2 trains and went into their tipee's. It was So much fun to see him, He is so unafraid of animals, he just wants to love and snuggle them all!

Anniversary, Mike's internship and Seppi's Birthday party! 1 year old stats

Last week Mike started his first internship for Physical Therapy, it has been a big change, he is so happy to be out of the books and learning hands on. He has been coming home really tired, learning is a lot of hard work! He is doing a wonderful job and I'm very proud of him. He's interning at RPT in West Jordan, which he's lucky because he worked there as an aide for about 2 years so he knows most of the Therapists well already.

On May 19th it was our Anniversary, I can't believe we've been married for 4 years. We've been together for 9 which is even crazier. I kept thinking about our wedding day and how well everything flowed and how happy we both were and still are. I asked Mike if he still loved me as much as he did on that day and he said "no, I love you so much more!" We've been through a lot together, and I can't wait to see what other adventures come our way. All I know is that I can tackle anything this life brings as long as Mike helps me through it. We make a great team and I Love him more than anything in this world.

On Saturday we had a little family birthday party for Jeseppi! We had a BBQ and cake and icecream and just hung out and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We talked and the kids played for hours on the playground! When Seppi opened his presents he was front and center and he KNEW he had the attention of everybody! He clapped his hands and we all cheered after he opened every present! He sure knows how to please a crowd! It was so much fun! We all had a great time and I am so happy that everything went well and smooth.
I made a cake shaped like a turtle with fondant icing (my very first attempt!) I feel pretty good about it and Seppi sure liked to eat it!

I Love Jeseppi, he is such a great baby, he has been my little pal for one whole year and I wouldn't trade him for anyone or anything else in the world!
Seppi had his 1 year old check up. He's doing great Developmentally right on track if not a little ahead in verbalization. Here are his stats.
Head Cir. = 8th percentile
Weight= 3rd percentile
Height= 75th percentile.
So, he's still tall and skinny! although I think he's even more tall than he was last time. But fitting into the 12 month size clothing so I think he's just right for his age.

Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Jeseppi turned 1 today, he can already put up one finger (although I don't think He means to say he's 1)! All day I've been thinking about what I was doing a year ago and how I was feeling. I can't believe a year has already passed and yet, I can't remember what it was really like without him in my life.
Jeseppi is such a wonderful baby, Mike and I got really lucky! He is generally very happy and easy going, he's the cutest thing I've ever seen! He's smart, good natured, sleeps well, plays well, is actually starting to understand when I need him to stop something he is doing-so obedient, He's starting to learn how to spit things out that he puts in his mouth-which is a big step up from fishing it out of his mouth! He says Mom in the sweetest way! also Says: Dada, bye, hi, woof, oo-oo-ah-ah (like a monkey), amoung many other jabbering that sounds like alien talk- and I LOVE IT!
Jeseppi has a real Love for animals, he loves the way they feel, he loves watching them, he'll snuggle with them IF they'll let him! He has such a tender heart and gives me huge hugs all day long. He'll stop what he's doing for one second to give his momma a hug and then keep playing! I love my little boy with all of my heart and I can't believe he is already 1!
Happy Birthday Big Guy!
(in the picture above Seppi is eating a very special birthday boy breakfast of pancakes with peanut butter and maple syrup, he ate an intire pancake and half of a banana, he just loved it! We sang to him and he thought that was funny too! such a happy little mood he was in this morning.)
