Beehive House

So Grandma G, and Great-Grandma H came into town this weekend, so we got to spend some time with them today. We decided to go downtown to temple square and walk around.  We ended up taking a tour of the Beehive house, which I have never done before, even though I have lived in Utah my whole life! 

I didn't take a lot of pictures unfortunatly, but, I found these online.  If you ever get the chance to tour it I would really reccommend it!  It is a gorgeous house and very fun to tour. 

They had their Chirstmas tree already up which got me super excited for Christmas! I am so excited for the Holiday season! I love all the family time, and I am especailly excited with having M.J.  After that we ate a delicous lunch at the Garden restaurant where we tried fried dill pickles.  Which surprisingly they are quite delicious!  We had so much fun!

Two Months Old!

So last Thursday November 3rd, little M.J. turned two months old! I can't believe how fast time has flown by! My little boy is growing up so fast! Some of his favorite things at two months old are:

Smiling and blowing spit bubbles!

Bath time!

He has started cooing and he loves talking to us! It is so fun hearing all the sounds that come out of his little mouth.

He loves sleeping on his belly, which unfortunately we can't let him do.  But that is his favorite way to sleep, and he just looks so cute while doing it!

He loves working out his biceps! Lol, just kidding not quite yet!

He does love football already just like his Daddy! 

He loves staring at everything, especially lights! Lights just memorize him!

He loves his old man hair line! We are thinking about possibly getting him some hair implants lol!

So we took him to the Doctor for his two month check up on Thursday, and our boy has gained just a little bit of weight........

Just almost 5lbs.  He weighed 14 lbs 11 ounces at the appointment! I can't believe how big he is getting.  He also measured at 24.5 inches! Its crazy to me because he isn't that chunky he is just solid!  Although he is starting to get some rolls on his legs which are adorable!  He got his two month old shots, which was so sad to watch, he made this little screaming noise which was awful, I started tearing up!  I'm so in love with my little boy.  He is doing so good too, he is only waking up once at night (knock on wood),  he goes back to sleep pretty quickly afterwords.  He loves to cuddle, and is starting to figure out how to grasp things with his little hands and he is starting to hold on to my fingers, and hair!  He is also starting to figure out how to control his body, he is getting close to rolling over on his own!  Every moment I spend with him I fall more and more in love! I am so blessed to have such a healthy amazing baby boy!

M.J.'s first Halloween

Our little family celebrated M.J.'s first Halloween last weekend, I wasn't going to buy him a costume, because I new I wasn't going to take him trick or treating, but on Friday I broke down and bought him a monkey costume, and he looked so cute in it.

His little tail!

Our little Monkey!

He is such a big boy this was a 3-6 month size costume!

We went to our Ward party to show him off, unfortunatly we didn't get anypictures at the ward party, but Grandma M did get a few pictures before hand.

On Sunday, H (J's sister) wanted to put on M.J's spiderman outfit we bought him in Universal Studies when we went back in May.  Turns out she had bought a spiderman outfit to match him, so they were twinners Sunday night.

They are pretty cute if you ask me!



On Halloween, L and I bought a Xbox 360, and that new Just Dance game with Kinect (which is super fun by the way)! So we just hung out at home and played that and handed out candy to all the trick or treaters.  I was debating taking M.J. out, but I ended up realizing that I would just eat all the candy unless I wanted to keep it for a few years until he was old enough to eat it.

He wore his Halloween onezie on the actual day of Halloween, sense we had dressed him up  both Saturday and Sunday.  I'm excited for next year when he actually will be aware of what is going on for Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Today L, MJ and I decided it was time to carve some pumpkins!  As you can tell MJ was super excited for his first pumpkin carving!   

This was MJ's and my pumpkin. 

This was MJ's and L's pumpkin.  I took a little bit more time in picking mine out and I had to win a game of rock paper scissers to keep mine because L was super jealous of its awesomeness.

 

MJ and I went for a face design where he and L went for a little bit more tricky design, it was a medium in the book that we bought lol.

We finished ours pretty quickly! I know I'm so creative to use the stem as the nose.  But alas it wasn't my idea I copied off of a magazine I saw! But I think it turned out awesome.

L's and MJ's took a little bit more work! And L was pretty intent on making it look amazing.  He even washed out the inside of the pumpkin. Who does that?  I have never heard of or seen anyone wash out the inside of the pumpkin. 

But his did turn out pretty amazing I must say!

 

My mom and I also found these super cool pumpkins at this little stand in Bountiful. They are called turbin pumpkins. 

Mine started oozing gross stuff I think it adds to the effect!

They look pretty awesome all together!  L got a little too excited after we were brought some delicious Halloween cupcakes.  So mine ended up all over my face! Gotta Love Him!

We also had a recent trip to the mall to get little MJ a bouncer and get L's eyebrows threaded!  L was a trouper even though he said it hurt, he didn't cry once!!! Just kidding he is a real man and real men never cry!

This is little MJ in his bouncer! He loves it! He gets all wide eyed and excited! We had to add some books underneath it, so he can bounce sense he is still a little too short to touch the ground, but he is getting bigger and bigger every day.

We caught a smile on camera the other day! He is starting to make the cutest faces and he is starting to figure out how to suck his thumb.  Lol it is the cutest thing ever!

We got him the cutest hat and sweatershirt and the mall also! He is definatly a daddy's boy because he loves his hats! And he looks so adorable in the hats just like his daddy!

Proud Mommy!

I am one proud Mommy of my little M.J.  He was a month old Monday, and I can't believe it has already been a month.  He is growing like crazy though, he barely fits into any newborn stuff anymore, because of his long muscular legs.

Its amazing how fast you forget how awful being pregnant, and giving birth was.  Whenever I look at his face I just fall more and more in love and already miss the time when he was first born, but am so happy he is more alert now and so fun to play with.   I have to share some pictures of my little guy, because I am one proud Mommy!

I love the faces he makes, and that he is awake more often now.

I almost caught him smiling in this picture.

He loves sleeping on his belly it is so cute!

Daddy went a little over board on the bubbles, but he loves his bath time just like his mommy.

His first bath at the hospital.

Sleeping peachfully at the hospital.

We gave him some milk but he wasn't too hungry.  Just kidding

                     We caught the cutest sneeze ever on accident, when we were trying to take a picture.




Right after he was born, when he was only a few minutes old.

Like father like son! Love my two favorite boys. 

I am loving being a Mommy! I can't get enough of my little M.J! He is just so amazing and adorable even at 2 a.m.
