Time is flying...

It just amazes me how fast the weeks fly by! It sounds sad, but in reality, the days just get better and better. Malakai is just starting to be so fun (not that he wasn't fun in the beginning). But he's smiling all the time, giggling, squealing, sleeping 12 hours at night and taking two 2-hour naps and a 30 min. catnap every day, and he' s SO close to rolling over. By the way, I can't take much credit for his sleeping pattern and schedule...he totally did it almost completely on his own! He really is such a laid-back easy baby...I'm sure our next ones won't be this easy! Anyways, here are some pictures from week 13. He is now 14 weeks. We put him in his Baby Einstein Entertainer and he went nuts...as you can tell by the picture... Also, my mom played a little game of hide-and-seek with him! He was so cute!

10 Week Photo Shoot

Well, we had some fun with the camera the other day and Malakai is so adorable that I couldn't narrow down many of the pictures. I didn't want to post all of them on the blog b/c it would take forever, so instead, I put them in a slideshow. If you would like to view his images, go to:

Just when we think he can't get any more precious...

So Sad : (

Forgot to post his stats....here you go:
Weight: 12 lb. 14 oz. (75%)
Height: 23 3/4 in. (80%)
Head: 15 3/4 (50%)

Malakai had his 2-month checkup last week and had to have 3 shots! It was so sad....he was so happy and was smiling and laughing when all of a sudden without any warning, the nurse gave him his first shot in the leg....then his second....then his third. He didn't even let out his cry until the last shot. It was one of those silent horrific cries where they open their mouth and no sound comes out and you're waiting for them to breathe. I have never heard him cry like that before...luckily it didn't last long. Daddy picked him up and snuggled him and then gave him to me. He was such a big boy. He probably cried for about a minute or two. I gave him Tylenol a couple times later that day and he was exhausted...slept almost the entire day! These first pics are pre-shots, then the last ones are post-shots.

Look what I found!

MY HAND!!!

Malakai's trip to Boerne

I had so much fun at Logan and Mandy's house! The first night we were there, Mandy cooked a yummy dinner but I had to sit in my bouncer and watch everyone eat it! Then, after dinner, Uncle Logan went and got the best dessert in the world (grasshopper pie with homemade chocolate sauce) and opened the lid in front of us all....and there on the top were the numbers 3-15-08 all in cookie crumbs! It took them all a while to get it (I was trying to tell them, but they couldn't understand me) and finally it clicked with them all---Aunt Mandy is having a cousin for me!!! Oh, I'm so excited I can hardly stand the wait! I will be 9 months old when my cousin is born. I'm secretly hoping for a boy to hang out with, but either one will do! A girl would be fun too since we don't have any girls on my mom's side of the family. Anyways, I love Boerne and can't wait to go back and see Logan and Mandy and Baby Cross. I wish we lived closer to them so after he's (oops!) born, Mom and Aunt Mandy could have play-dates and we cousins could hang out! Maybe someday....
The picture on the bottom is me in my big-boy shoes the day we left for Boerne. Then there are pictures of Uncle Logan and Aunt Mandy holding me in the morning on their back porch, and the other pictures are of grandma putting me in a salad bowl. The one to the left is of me and my grandma, and of course the one above is me and my mommy!!

Malakai's trip to San Antonio

I think Meemo drugged me! I had lots of fun in San Antonio visiting my family! Aunt Ashleigh gave me lots of smooches and said that if I ever want to get away for awhile, I can come for a visit and she'll let me stay up all night and eat Oreos and make a tent in the living room!! Meemo put me right to sleep--as you can tell from the picture, and said I was much heavier than last time she held me! (I've been drinking my milk so I can grow up big and strong like my Daddy!) Also while I was there, Uncle Brett made some funny faces at me, Cousin Cooper held me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, Cousin Jackson pinched my toes, and Uncle Jason stood up real tall and waved his arms over the fence which made me and Mom laugh real hard! All in all, I'd say we had a really good time and I'm looking forward to coming back to meet my new Cousin Kate who's due any day now!
