Bodie Bug.....

Most of these pics were taken by Kyle while Saige was holding him....I thought they turned out great! He has a good eye! Bodie has become a slobbering maniac! We keep thinking we see a tooth, but surely we are seeing things....he's WAY too little to have a tooth already..ha...and as a nursing Mama...the prospect of a tooth doesn't sound too appealing right now!

Looks like his Daddy in this pic.

He's getting some chubby cheeks....we LOVE it!

Blow this pic up...and look at those eye lashes.

Saige's favorite picture....Joel must have been messing with his hair again!

I love his little expression in this picture.

Double chin!

And sadly look what we found on his little pillow....yep, that's right...his hair is falling out like there is no tomorrow....we are so sad. But, hopefully his new hair will come in curly...just like his Daddy-O!

Bodie is 3 months old........

Our sweet boy is 3 months old today. I wish I could make time go in slow motion...I want to savor every moment with this beautiful gift from Heavenly Father. He just totally makes my heart melt. He's finally getting a little chub on him and we just love it! However, his little 0 to 3 month outfit that he has on for these photos still swamps him! It's so funny to see how big everything is on him. What a bundle of joy he is in our home. We can be having the worst day and all it takes to make us happy is holding him and seeing his little expressions. He's smiling up a storm these days and is starting to grab for things. He likes his bouncer seat and can really get it going now. On Monday, he weighed just over 9 pounds and was almost 22 inches long, putting him in the 2nd percentile...whoo hoo! I totally want him to be healthy and grow, but I secretly love that he is still so small! I can just smooch and snuggle with him all day!



Here is our little man in his grown up outfit! ha ha
He wasn't too happy for these pics....I think it was time to eat yet AGAIN! These two hour feedings are really getting old!

Yep. just a hint of a smile....almost!

Blurry pic, but a little smile.....I know he gets so sick of me smooching on those tiny lips!!

His eyelashes have taken on a life of their own...it seems like every single day they are getting longer and longer....it's amazing and I LOVE it. I always wanted long eye lashes, so he didn't get them from me....but, we tried to get some shots to show how long they are.

Life doesn't get any better!

The other children.....

Yes, get your mouth off the floor, this post doesn't have one picture of Bodie!! We do have other children, they just don't usually do anything that is blog worthy...ha ha! However, I thought these little pics from one of their antics was worth posting!! EVERYDAY Saige asks me if she can have one of my caffeine-free Diet Cokes, and EVERYDAY, I tell her NO. She decided to enlist Kyle to her cause and protest the fact that we don't get them any "good" drinks. This is what they came up with....pretty creative if you ask me!!


For some reason, they thought dressing up in weird clothing would help their cause and make is seem like more of a "real" strike! (old glasses from her Velma halloween costume)
Kyle wearing the Harry Potter glasses....you can't see the rest of him, but he was dressed up too!

Kyle's slogan....very funny!

Another one of his ideas! Maybe he should go into advertising...he's good at slogans!

They used yard sticks, paint brushes and pencils to hold up their signs.

I've enjoyed giving them milk even more now after seeing this sign.

They thought including Bodie would help their cause. (oops, I lied, there is little Bodie in this post....hee hee)

While this little protest didn't help their cause any, they sure are cute and funny!!!

New Bumbo seat......

Bodie's little bumbo seat came in yesterday and it is so funny to see him sitting in it! He is such a slice of heaven.....I just can't stand how much I want to smooch and love on him all day! I actually put him in his swing today to do some housework and I lasted about 20 minutes...ha ha.
Here is our big boy in his new big boy seat!

Hmmmm, not sure if I like this Mom.....

But, boy do I look cute!

Here is a little video....he's griping a little bit, but we love to hear his little noises!

Getting some tummy time!

Bodie-licious.....

Just some random shots of little Bodie this week...he's totally changing everyday and doing something new....he laughed out loud today, now mind you he was in a semi-sleep state when he did it, but I just imagine he was dreaming about living with Heavenly Father just a few short months ago! He's smiling up a storm now and starting to talk to us...we love it so much, we don't seem to be able to take our eyes off of him for very long!

These shots were taken just hanging out in his crib.....
He was interested in something off to the side apparently!

Love his little face

This is usually how we find him sleeping.....

He looks a little drugged up in this pic! Joel loves pulling his hair down like this and calling him Ceasar....dork!

A goofy self portrait of Bodie and I after my brother scolded me for never being in pictures with him...ha ha. Here you go Quin.

And I found this little gem when I was downloading these pictures....it's Jade squeezing my baby's face...I'm so going to kick her butt when I see her next! She was lucky I didn't see her doing this...little turd bucket.

Anyway, that is our latest little bug pictures.....we sure like this kid a lot!

2 month pics.....

Wow, our sweet boy in already 2 months! I probably sound like a broken record, but holy cow we love this little guy! He makes us all so happy, we can be reduced to tears just seeing him smile at us! He continues to be a very "zen" like baby and is so laid back and easy going. I am so blessed to be able to stay home and be with him, I can't imagine going to work and leaving him with someone else....I don't want to miss a thing! He got his little thumb the other day and Saige and I thought it was the cutest thing we had ever seen! I so wish I had better photography skills, but here he is.....the sweetest baby boy ever!

He loves his hands...he even sleeps with his hands near his face.

Hey Mama....aren't I cute?

Oh yeah, got that hand and boy is it yummy!

Even his toes look like Joel's.....seriously, he IS his mini-me!

His hair seems to be getting more curly every day....whoo hoo!

Bodie's stats....at his 2 month checkup he weighed 7 pounds 8oz. He was 21 inches long. He's a wee little thing, only in the third percentile for weight and length...but, he's growing and changing every day! He's starting to smile when you smile at him. He loves to be cuddled up close and sleeps the best when he's on our chest! He's a pretty good sleeper at night, usually only getting up once. And his little face melts our hearts!

Kyle's Birthday....

Our second birthday of the month was Kyle's 14th on August 16th. Joel told him he could open one present before church and boy was he excited, he didn't even get dressed! Here he is with the ONE present Joel told him he could open.....with great anticipation, Kyle ripped into the bag....

And he found socks.....

and underwear....Joel is so mean!! I'm sure you can see the "joy" in his eyes over this present!

The Birthday cake....

Blowing out the candles.....

Ready for the "good" presents...ha ha.

Whoo-hoo, shorts he wanted.

This next present is part of our experience living here in Germany and relying on the post office to get things to us on time...Seasons 1 and 2 of The Office and Black and White checkered vans are on the way!! Poor dude.

What is this????

A card from Saige...oops the pics got out of sequence!!

A DVD player....he was very excited for this gift! Now he can watch his Office episodes all night!

And last but not least....

Air Force One low tops (he already has the high tops)

He was very excited for these shoes. Both are staying in good shape and staying white...yay!

Happy Birthday Kyle. We love you.
