Chads Blessing

This past Sunday was Chad's Blessing! Mom and Dad came out and spent the weekend with us and we had a blast like always! It was so fun to have the family together and we appreciate the love and support! We have such a great family!

The Whole Family!

2 Month Check-Up

Yesterday Chad had his two month appointment and what does the two month appointment mean?.....SHOTS! Poor buddy :( He had 3 shots and one oral, and screamed his little eyes out! It was soooo sad. I didn't like to say the least so I can only imagine poor Chad. I give shots to newborns and kids in clinical but when someone gives shots to my son its a different story! :) All in all he has done really well though, sleepy and not too hungry but isn't really fussy and is a good boy. He now weighs 11 lbs 5 oz (45%) and is in the 75% for height and 70% for head circumference. He is getting to be a BIG boy! I can't believe he is already 2 months old! Time flies!
I managed to take these pics BEFORE the shots...SMILES!

(He has a dimple on the right side which you can kinda make out)

Poor baby

California Vacation!

We were able to get away and enjoy a relaxing trip home to California to visit Grandma and Grandpa! We had an amazing time and Chad got to experience alot of "firsts"...first beach trip, amusement park, etc.! Thanks Dad and Mom for such a great time!

In Redondo Beach (Chad was hungry, but not for crab!)

Daddy was though!

Fletcher Feet (Notice how mine are the biggest?) :)

And no trip is complete without getting backed into at a stop light...nice

Photo Shoot!

We were SUPER lucky to have a talented friend in the ward, Kendyl, take pictures of Chad. They all turned out so awesome I had a hard time picking certain ones to put up here! A HUGE thanks to Kendyl for her time and doing such a great job!

Here are a few:

A couple of things...

First, and foremost...finally on break since I PASSED Block 3 of Nursing School. (hence the updated blog finally) One more to go! I was a little worried about this Block being I had gone back a week after having a C-section and if I hadn't passed I would have be so upset for leaving Chad that early! I get two weeks to enjoy my husband and son, and make a trip to our favorite place, home to California to visit Grandma and Grandpa and get some beach in our system! Can't wait!

Just wanted to share some pictures I took this week...

This past weekend we went to Cali for...you guessed it...another wedding! Our good friend Natalie got married and we were so glad to be apart of it! Everything was beautiful and she looked amazing!

We also got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa and hang out at home! It was such a nice relaxing weekend even though it was short! (Could be due to the fact that Grandma had Chad BOTH nights! Thanks Grandma!) :) Our big boy is 5 weeks today!
