Happy Fathers day

Happy Father's Day all you fathers! I love the fathers in my life and that includes my husband now! He is such a good dad. He loves his son and loves being dad. I started out the morning making him wheat buttermilk blueberry pancakes which were delicious if i do say so myself. Then we were off to church. Jared wore his tie from my mom. It says lots of father's day things like #1 dad and best dad ever!!!

We had gotten each other a wii fit for mother's day/father's day. so I got him a little something. This Dad's root beer and a card.

For dinner Jared had been talking about these chicken burgers from costco that everyone was talking about. I picked some up and we had those. Jared had his with two grilled cheese for the bun and a fried egg. Mine was on flat wheat bread. They were very good.

Jared spent the day relaxing in his jammies... we are not having burgers for breakfast

And then there's my dad. I love him so much. He is the best dad and papa ever! i can't wait to the end of July to spend time with him and my family.

Payson pool

Yesterday we celebrated Jared's birthday and the day started with a trip to the pool. We met Jared's brother there. Jacob had been in a pool once before. It was in Tucson and the pool was heated. So when we got into this pool we aren't sure if it was the cooler water or all the screaming and splashing but he did not like it. Although when Jared's brother Ryan came he took him in and just let him scream and eventually he calmed down... ether from being tiered of crying or getting use to it. All in all we had a good time. 

Payson pool requires plastic pants... i wasn't sure what that meant and was totally picturing rubber or a like a plastic bag but they were these cute little speedo things! lol love it!

it was a good thing i wore my giant hat so Jacob could have some shade

We were hanging out with Jared's little niece and she pointed to his tummy and said "you have hair on your tummy" and Jared said "yes i do. do you?" and she looked and said "no want to see?" and then she pointed to Jared's chest and said "you have hair on your boobies" and as we were laughing Jared said "yes i do"

I love what little kids say. Where do they get these things

I made a Martha Stewart 1234 lemon cake for Jared and it was delicious.... 

this one is only a 123 lemon cake because i had some technical difficulties but it still tasted good.

Jean diapers

So cute. But why would you buy them? Well these were in a pack of swim diapers and we needed some swim diapers. Now we have jean diapers. They are a little big so we'll wait to use the rest but they are fun.

He wouldn't stop moving so these aren't the best pictures but you get the idea.

Patriotic

Kristen talked to me not too long ago about making matching patriotic outfits for her kids and suggested I make the same shortalls for Jacob.(theres the link for the how to. Its meant for toddlers so I had to adapt it for Jacob's size)  So I did! I'm always looking for something fun to do and its always fun to find a cute sewing project for boys. I'm still learning so I was nervous but they turned out just fine. I even did snaps between the legs for easy diaper changing.

Swinging

I've been trying to loose weight the past couple months so Jared has been helping me by going on walks with me whenever we get a chance. I've tried jogging a little on these walks. Jogging is my least favorite thing in the whole world. But that is just so you know why i was dressed the way i was. Anyway we stopped by the park on our walk the other day and decided to see what Jacob though of the play ground. 

He liked the swing

 He didn't really have a reaction on the slide

 and he really liked swinging with mommy

So I did cut my hair last week. It didn't turn out like the picture i was looking at (it never does) and its really short but i'm getting used to it. I did have enough to donate so I did that. Its fun to change it up and Jared supports me in my hair adventures. Hair will always grow back.

carrots

I started to get worried about my skinny little baby. His daddy is skinny so I just thought it was genetics but then I started to wonder if it really was. I called the Dr and they suggested we come in. About a week ago we went in and he had only gained half a pound in two months. All of his stats were down. The Dr suggested we start to supplement or start feeding him rice cereal or oatmeal. We did both and he is starting to fill out nicely. In a week he has gained about a pound.

before

 after
you can see it in his thighs and his little tummy is filling out.

We started doing rice before we went to the Dr. After we bought some food and started that. First was carrots which he wasn't so sure about and then 3 days later we tried apples and he ate those better.

Ikea

We went to ikea to grab Jacob some bowls and a bumper for his crib...

I think he liked it

Also i'm pretty sure i'm going to chop my hair off... but am i ready??

I guess we'll find out.
