January 2012

 
I know that posting a year later allows for a lot of things to be forgotten, but at least I'm posting.  I've been meaning to get caught up for so long, it would probably just be better if I kept on top of things.  Anyways, Kaleb was different from Isaac in many ways, he was very obsessed with his pacifier and would hold onto and put his little thumb in the hole.  It was so cute.

 My two boys! Isaac was (and is still) very helpful with Kaleb.  He used to pick him up and carry him around when he was a baby.  Of course I wouldn't know about it until he was charging toward me asking for help so that he wouldn't drop him.  
 Susan and the rest of the family came over with Mandy, the dog, somehow Isaac ended up taking a nap with Mandy on the bed.
 Such a happy boy!
I said he loved his fingers, and he did.  He'd stick those fingers in, especially his pointer finger, and suck away.  January was an uneventful month, I guess except the fact that Isaac pretty much potty trained himself.  I guess I had tried so many times (3) and talked to him enough about getting rid of diapers and wearing underwear, he kind of just decided to do it.  It helped that Ronnie asked him if he wanted to go pee in the potty (I was thinking, seriously?).  But it worked! Isaac was ready to do it and on his own.  He had some accidents here and there, but mostly he did a great job.

December 2011

 
Kaleb asleep in his Christmas outfit.  As a baby Kaleb would suck on his fingers often, something that Isaac never did.  It's interesting how each baby has their own different tendencies.. 

Samantha got a microphone for Christmas.  She had it set up in a spare room with her piano.  We found Isaac in there playing the piano and talking into the microphone.   

Each year, the week before Christmas, Kory's grandparents have a time share week up at Snowbird Resort.  We tried to get some good pictures of the boys next to the Christmas tree, turns out Kaleb was a little too tired to cooperate.  We gave him a break in my arms, and he fell right asleep. 


 Isaac loved touching the big ornaments and trying to take them off.



The hat is a santa hat, I need to post a better pic of it.  He looked adorable. 

 We blessed Kaleb on beautiful winter day, New Years Eve!  It was a Saturday and it was great.  We blessed him in the relief society room at church.  We invited the Bishop, he presided over the small meeting.  It was just family and the bishop.  It was a nice day and such a beautiful blessing.  Of course I forgot to get a picture with my parents.  They were there, and they helped so much with everything.  We made food and hung out (who am I kidding? I was super sick, my mom and dad did everything).

The HUGE pizza we got for New Years Eve.  Isaac was hilarious that night.  He stayed up (of course he did, kid won't go to bed if there is a party going on).  He had this little zipper toy that he whirled around in a circle like a mad man when it was midnight.  He jumped around and danced.  It was very entertaining.  The night was enjoyable, we played a lot of games and watched the movie Rio.  I couldn't believe Kory's grandma, playing games until 2 am.  What a hoot.
