Sorry it has been so long since the last blog. I hope I have made up with it with all of the pictures! It is amazing how fast time goes and how fast Gage grows. He is 15 months going on 5 right now. He is learning new things every day, and his vocabulary is growing. We are having so much fun and are truely blessed. Zach and I have been outside working in the yard every spare minute we have. Gage loves it. He loves playing in the dirt. Give him a rock and a stick and you dont have to worry about him for at least 15 minutes! I will truely make a much better effort to keep caught up! Enjoy

He loved the egg hunt at home, but he thought the eggs were balls and continued to throw them on the floor

The Before...

He did so well, oh so serious... I figured instead of me continuing to butcher the poor little guy, it was time to bite the bullet and take him in for his first cut. He had so much to cut off, but she left us enough to give him a little spike!

Well.... We are finally in our new house! We moved in 3 weeks ago and the work is never ending. Gage is growing up so fast. He went from crawling to stading on his own in a couple weeks, now he is walking with the assistance of his walker! He now has 1 1/2 teeth. He has done pretty well with teething. We are so blessed to have such a good baby! He will be 9 months on the 23rd, crazy. I will try to be better at getting pics up now that we are somewhat settled in our own house now.

Well sorry everyone for not updating this in a while. Gage is growing like a weed. He is now 7 months and 20+ lbs. He is rolling from one end of the room to the other and into everything. He is so close to crawling. He will get up on his knees, sometimes his toes, and rock back and forth. He is pretty good at going backwards but hasn't yet figured out forward. He now has one tooth on the bottom, and it looks like the one next to it could pop in any day now. We have been super busy and a routine, well our routine hasn't existed now for a while. He hasn't been sleeping well lately, which is making me extra tired, but as soon as we get into our new house he will be in his real crib in his own room. I think things will be easier on him than. We are getting closer and closer to getting into our new house! They have given us Sept 24 as our closing date, hopefully it doesn't change. Other than that we are just hanging out and learning new things every day! I will try to be better about putting new pics up! We will have our fair pics up as soon as I can locate Zach's camera adapter! Sorry this is in the middle of this page but it wont let me cut and paste and Im not re-typing Getting ready for some dinner

We took Gage to his first parade in Cody for the 4th. He was so focused on everything that would pass by, it was fun to watch him. We than moved on to have a little picinic in the park were he tried cotton candy for the first time. I think he would have eaten the whole bag if he could.

Yummy cotton candy

Gage was so good out on the boat. We put in anywhere from 8 to 10 hours days for 5 strait days. He is such a good baby. He loved being on the boat. His smile is becoming so contagious. With it being Father's Day weekend, he gave Zach the best give possible, Dadda. That's right, his first words were Dadda, not Momma. I was a little butt hurt, but I am getting over it because it is so cute when he says it! We are headed to the Big Horn Mountains this weekend for his first camping/4 wheeling trip. He is going to be an adventurous little guy!

Gage is getting so big! At his 4 month check up, which was closer to 5 months, he weighed in at 16.3 lbs and was a whopping 24 in long. We are a little on the chunky side, but he sure is a happy baby.

WOW! Well Gage is now 4 months old, how time flies. He is really starting to grow into his little cheeks. He is now reaching for things with the intention of trying to put it in his mouth. His vocabulary is starting to increase, no momma yet, but lots of little noises and screams. He weighing around 15 lbs now, we go to the Dr on the 10th for our 4 month checkup and shots and we'll get the official weight and length. He is laughing and rolling over on his terms. His little chuckles are so cute.

Well, Gage is now 3 months! His personality is really starting to shine. He is now laughing, doing lots of talking, and has almost rolled over on one side, we are working on that one. He is starting to eat more per feeding, if you cant tell from his cheeks! He also just started sleeping 6-7 hours at nigh, it is wonderful!

Happy Birthday Dad

New Friends!

Well Gage is really starting to develop strong lungs. He has a new little shrill for attention now. It is amazing how much he is changing. His new fascination is lying in his bassinet under his mobile. He is talking more and more every day and is full of smiles!

BIG SMILE

Gage's 2 month birthday present

Wow, how time flies. Gage is now 2 months and changing weekly. His smile is contagious and he has started to add a little chuckle along with it. We go in for our 2 month check up on the 30th and I think he will weigh around 10-11 lbs. He is porking right up. He has pinching cheeks just like his dad! We are really starting to get into a night routine, there have been a few nights he sleeps for 5 hours at a time. We are currently battling a little bit with some constipation, but I think we may be starting to get the upper hand on it.

First Smile!

2009-03-15T20:32:00.001-07:00

Waiting for Gage's first smile was very exhausting, but it finally came on Feb 28 while Zach was getting his hair cut. Ron Reno, his Barber, got our first smile by imitating Donald Duck. It was priceless and brought me to tears. Now we cant get him to stop smiling, not that we want him too, but it sure was difficult trying to capture it on the camera. He is really starting to talk to us and his personality is starting to shine. He will be 2 months on the 23rd, just a few days away. It is amazing how fast they grow and how fast time goes.

Wow, Gage is already a month old. It is so hard to believe, I guess there not lying when they say time flies. He is really starting to become more alert and awake a little more during the day, I think he's going to have beautiful blue eyes. We are finally getting some sleep around here, anywhere from 2 to 4 hours at a time! I never thought I would be able to function without sleep, but I guess it is mommy power. Gage is getting stronger every day. His bobble head has a little more control and he is really growing. I'm anxiously awaiting him to connect his smile to mine. We have seen a preview of his joyus smile when he is relieving himself and it is heart warming
