Rice Cereal!!

I could not wait, i know that sounds rediculous but..
I was planning on not starting him on rice cereal until i got back from my family reunion next week but he always seems like he wants more so on Tuesday the 12th decided that we should give it a try! His first few spoonfuls!Well he loved it! He wanted so bad to help load it in but he would push the little spoon to far into his mouth!He loved it so much that when i paused for him to swallow he started to fuss, but best of all was when we ran out of made rice cereal, he was a little upset i didnt have more!

Here is a video i took of Coleton about three weeks ago. I was trying to convince him that he should roll over for me so that i really could prove that he can roll but he didnt but he did try to explain to me why he didnt want to... here it is! (I know that it is sideways but i didnt know you could not flip it but you can still hear him!!)

Four Months Old!

Today Coleton turns four months! I am so excited because our doctor said that i can start him on rice cereal. With my family reunion going on next week i think i wont start him til after but i am still really excited. He is about 13lbs but still pretty small and is still fitting in to 3 month clothes. Since i have not gotten a chance to get nice pictures of him taken i took some snap shots of him at home. He is getting really good at holding up his head! i had alot of fun today spiking his hair after i gave him a bath. Normally it falls with in a few minutes but this time it stayed up all day?
Today i just had to laugh, when i went to put him down for a nap, i wrapped him up like always so that his hands would not wake him and normally he does not mind (i think he enjoys it). Well this time he threw a small tantrum because he did not want to take a nap. While he was screaming in his crib i said "Coleton, i will make you a deal, i will unwrap you but you have to take a nap still because its nap time" knowing that it was not going to make a difference to him i unwrapped him. Well instantly he stopped crying, closed his eyes, turned his head, and put his little arm over his face. Shocked I walked out of the room thinking to myself that he would start crying again but i could not believe it i never heard from him until i went to get him up! If only this would work out everyday!He is really good at attemping to sit but he fell over and i am pretty sure he thought i pushed him (but i promise you i didnt), he was a little frustrated!
This was after his bath, that hand is always in there i wish i could get him off that habit!
This is so typical! I will be doing something and not watching him and all of a sudden i will hear him gagging and when i turn around this is what i see, you would think we would learn! Wow, i know i look gross but he was laughing so hard, he just started to really giggle!
He LOVES to stand sitting is just not an option. Brandon let him hold on to a bin that we had unpacked and he thought that was pretty cool!
So i rolled him over on to his stomack to take a picture of the back of his onsie and he started rocking like crazy, i could not get him to hold still! If only he would roll over for people, no one believe that he has rolled over! I tried to make it look like his shirt is big enough to cover him but really it is like a belly shirt, i should stop making him wear it but that has not happened yet!

Here is the happy little man in his favorite toy, the bouncer. Grandma Cheney let him use this while we moved and he loves it!
Brandon has been really busy with getting his seminary room ready since school starts this weeks so when he is home i make sure they spend time together! I just love how this one turned out, i dont know how i got it??

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Brandon is now 24 years old!! I tried my hardest this year to give him a fun filled birthday since we actually could have people over and have a little party so Coleton and I did all we could while Brandon was at work. He left for meetings at 5am so once Coleton got up for the day we got started! We decorated a little onesie That said "Happy Birthday" on the front and "I love u" on the back then we sent Brandon a picture through a text for him. Then when Coleton was napping i got streamers and decorated the kitchen and made little homemade signs like the Cheney family would do for everyones birthday, i actually had alot of fun doing it. A few days before Brandons birthday i asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he said that he wanted me to decorate a cake for him with the cake decorating kit he got me for Christmas (which i had not really used much yet) and so i was so excited to do that and got going on making a amazing cake! It took so much time but i had so much fun doing it!

Then once he got home from work about 4pm we took Coleton over to Brandons parents house and we went out to dinner at Chilies. Since we dont eat out very often it is a big treat for us! Then we went home for a little birthday party. Brandons parents and grandparents were able to come join us in the celebration and we had alot of fun! He got some things for teaching seminary (colored chalk and a decible reader) and the most adorable card form his grandparents. Happy Birthday, Brandon!

Can you really be mad?

Since we moved to Cedar City, Coleton has definately been more quiet than he use to be. He use to wake up in the mornings and talk anywhere from a half an hour to fourty five minutes to himself as he layed in bed but once we moved that stopped, until last night. Coleton goes to bed around eight o'clock and he will wake up to eat around four in the morning. Well a little earlier then normal he woke up to eat about three, when i was feeding him he was very chatty which he doesnt due at night. After he ate and i layed him in bed i wondered back to my room to go back to sleep hopefully til morning but Coleton did not have that same plans for me. He started to talk to himself in that dark room, and continued to talk for an hour and fourty five minutes! Finally, though it was cute to listen to, i went back into his room and feed him until he fell asleep. As i sat there burping him i had to think to myself "can i really be upset with the little guy?" he was so happy just talking to himself even though with the baby monitor it was keeping me awake. i really had been missing hearing him chat but i also was so tired but in the end i am just glad that he is getting back to normal, even if it does mean i dont sleep!
