Playing in the Fall Leaves!

 I love fall and so I've been trying to play outside with cavin as much as possible before winter hits us!!  I took some pictures of Cavin, but I had a hard time getting him to smile because he just wanted to touch the leaves and eat them!!

Cavin's first pumpkin

 we got Cavin his first pumpkin, and we used it to take Troy's pictures but since we're here we might as well take this good looking boys picture too!!  I love this boy!! he is growing up so big so fast.  Caivn is so fun and full of life and I LOVE it!! 

Cavin really liked sucking on the cold pumpkin!! 

First taste of Rice Cereal

 Cavin, hasn't been sleeping great, and just eating all the time, so at his 4 month apt the doctor said he might be ready for some rice cereal.  I wasn't sure if I was ready to start or not but I was really ready for some sleep so we gave it a shot!!  Here are the pictures in order, I love his face!!  I added some captions!! 

To eat Cavin, we must take your fists out of your mouth!!

First bite, "Mom, what did you just put in my mouth?" 

"Hmmm, I think I like it."

"give me more, I really like it"

"This is great, I love cereal."

"that was a great breakfast"

"Thanks mom"

"okay I'm all ready to go and play, let's go!!" 

4 Months old!

 Where do we begin? My little baby is 4 months old, I can hardly believe it!  He is my sweet bundle of joy!  He can roll, he loves his tummy, he is a full on mover.  Cavin doesn't like to lay on his back, he wants to be up and moving!  He is not a cuddle baby any more, he wants to be standing on your lap , or sitting.  Cavin can almost sit by himself, well he can but not sitting up straight.  He moves like he is going to crawl any day now if he is on his belly.
Cavin is a laugh-er, he laughs and giggles all the time.   He loves loves his dad.  he gets so excited and teases up his whole body when he sees him!  he is making new noises and talking more and more everyday.
At his 4 month check up he got a bunch of shots but this time he had NO problems with them, I was so nervous for what happened last time over a week of fussy baby.  This time he didn't act any different.  He weight 13 lbs 3 ozs (45% in weight) 25% in head and height.  He's perfect to me!!  The Dr. said he is developing just right!  He's stronger then most babies so I guess that's what ever guy wants to hear!!
Cavin loves his tongue, he is learning to make new noises with it and my favorite is he is learning to do what mom and dad do and copy us!!  SOOOO CUTE!
He is teething, and loves to chew on both thumbs at the same time!!!  It's so funny and cute!  I have been putting him in a high chair and he loves the new view on life!  We put him in the jonny jumper and he loved that, he is just ready to see the world and not a fan of laying on his back, unless you are playing face to face with him!! 
Cavin is ticklish all over, back, legs, neck, tummy, and under arms!!  No hair or teeth yet, but I think the teeth are just around the corner, I can feel one trying to break through! 
Cavin still loves his bath and has no problem with water on his face or eyes, which is great for our future swimmer!! :) 
Cavin is not a great sleeper, but it's partly mom's fault, I can't let him cry, I have tried a couple times but I start to cry and give up!!  I just love to rock him and love him.  I love to read to Cavin and sing songs!!
Dad loves to read Dr. Seuss and he really gets into it! Cavin loves it!! Pretty much anytime Cavin gets with dad you just sit there and watch him quietly, but with mom Cavin need her 100% attention!
Cavin, your mom and dad love you so much!!  We pray you'll grow up healthy and happy.  We pray you'll serve a mission and be a strong active member or the church!  You mean the World to us and would do anything for your happiness!  Thanks for blessing our life and being the sweetest baby that just melts our hearts!!   

Our Fall Walk

 Anna and I took the boys for a walk to enjoy the fresh weather and the pretty leaves, not much longer and it'll be too cold to go out so wanted to enjoy it while it lasts!!  The boys got really tired but I think they both really enjoyed something new and fun! 

 I have no make up on and looking bad but I love pictures with Cavin!! 

Anna and Troy, I can't believe Troy will be one next week!!  Crazy how fast he has grown up into a moving, talking, cute toddler! 

Babysitting

Cavin and I got to babysit for one of the cutest little babies!!  she was only 4 weeks old so I just couldn't believe how big my guy looked!! I put them together and all day had this little smile on like look at me with the cute girl!!  What a little flirt!! 

Jon and Summer's Wedding

Marcus, Cavin, and I flew to Las Vegas for my borther Jon's wedding, it was a quick quick trip but so worth it and fun!  Marcus had never been to Vegas, besides driving through so we wanted to spend a little time looking around!!  We left Friday morning at 330Am to get our 6 am flight and we got there at 630am with the time change!  we got to the hotel, got some breakfast, and took a little nap!!  We went to the pool and had a great time, then it was wedding time so we got ready and went on this neat boat and Jon and Summer got married, it was a pretty wedding, I LOVE LOVE the Flowers.  Afterwards we took a bunch of pictures and then off to the dinner and reception, it was a fun night, Cavin did not enjoy the Loud music so had to take him to the hotel early.  

Saturday we got up went to a breakfast buffet, which was really good!!  then we went to the pool and then to the Strip and walked around it was so much fun!  We didn't have much time but saw the fountains and gardens, then went to the M&M place and some other things is was a fun trip.  

We got back to the hotel went swimming and had dinner at the pool, then we where off back to the airport for our 8pm flight home!!  we got home about 1 am I think and we where so tired so just left our bags in the car and went to bed!! It was a fun trip and Cavin did great!! 

 Aren't they just the two cutest guys ever!!

 Thank you Marcus for taking Cavin so I could take pictures!

 I LOVE this family!!

 HE really loves his hands, fingers, thumbs, fists!
