50!!!!!

*Saying mah for more. He still mimicks if I say to say something. It doesn't always sound like the right thing but if I say, say bread, he says br and if I say, say thank you, he says dih dih haha. Hes trying.
*he's also nodding more.
*he pretty much only walks with his motorcycle, instead of only kneeling. He is really good at backing it up once he hits something, a corner or wall. He just leans and grabs the handle bars and pushes the opposite way. He just goes back and forth, all over the house. Sometimes he gets between the bookshelf and hitch, parallel and against the wall, and just goes back and forth back and forth haha. When he's tired, jes so impatient and grumpy and will cry and whine when he hits something, instead of just fixing it. Sometimes he'll even start before he actually hits! Haha.
*My milk supply has been down, and I was still pumping by hand (!) I was getting really stressed and so I stayed home to pump more for a few days. Then after a few days, I started my period! Ahhh!!! (Sorry, dad haha) so I was concerned and researched a bit and found out its ok if you start while nursing (I'll still call it that, to make it easier) but your milk supply drops a few days before and for a few days during, so I was so relieved there was a reason! The body is so crazy! And it said that if you start nursing less, ie. your baby starts sleeping through the night (!) your body can start your period. Makes sense now!!! So im still pumping 4-5 times a day but I got the pump to kind of work. I still have to squeeze a lot but its still better than by hand. And it still takes a long time and I do one side at a time, but it's still faster and more proper than by hand. So dean usually wakes up 6:15 ish and so this week I would get up an hour before him to pump, because I had zero milk on reserve. I didnt sleep very well due to worry I wouldn't get enough when he woke up, or I wouldn't have any when he woke up and I'd have to pump while he cried (which did happen a few days when the second half the week hes been waking up at 5:45) but I'm getting agead by like an ounce or two at night so I'm not as stressed. I still get up an hour before him but if he wakes up, at least I have something for him to hold him over. So far I haven't had to use that though. I get him up and he's happy and fine playing while I pump. I'm so grateful, what a tender mercy.
*He really knows what a ball and duck is. If hes doing something I don't want him to, I say wheres the ball or duck he stops and goes get it. And he looks so cute when he turns his head quickly and scans the room.
*He does this quick oh/gasp noise I think I've mentioned. It used to just be when he pointed at something (which he still does, a lot. Sometimes like right in a row points to something new, right after another) but he also does it or a hooooo (kind of like whoa) as hes going around the room to his toys. Like everything is new and exciting haha. Like, whoa look at this!!
*Night sleep is good still, but naps are getting harder to get him to sleep. But I've learned that at the 40 min mark, I can't just watch. I have to be IN there, pacifier ready. I have to catch him before he akes at all. Then he stays asleep and does way better. Once he wakes up these days, there is no getting him back to sleep.
*He was getting in to his books more so I put a bigger shelf we bought but had in the closet, out and moved his books. He loves getting in to them but hes still too young to be unsupervised because he really bends them and possibly rip the pop ups (I dont have any paper pages down yet, just board books). He also loves his giraffe stuffy. He grabs thst one out of the basket every time.
*So Peggy let us borrow this tub of wooden blocks thst have holes through them to put on the train pieces that have dowels sticking up. Does that make sense? Picture sometime...anyways, a few of the dowels come out. I've mentioned he loves putting things inside other things.Well, he takes the dowel and puts it through the hole on a block! Like, easily! And some sre small rounded, like a lifesaver shape and he puts it through and plays with it. I dont know, maybe that's totally nothing but we are super impressed haha. Great hand eye coordination and great foot work. He was doing foot work with an egg the other day too haha.
*He is letting go more, and standing on his own, and walking on his own, without us prompting him.
*When he gears us laugh, a laugh track on tv, or the crowd cheering on a live performance on pandora, he laughs. It's kind of like a fake laugh but it sounds cute and not completely fake. He does it on his own too but especially when we laugh.
*I kind of mentioned before, when he's tired he gets really frustrated. He's got his mama's hard head and short fuse. Oops. He is determined and strong willed and I like that, but I'm already trying to teach him to control it, which is a good lesson for me because I have to do it myself first. It's frustrating when he screams over every little thing and so I breathe and try to talk him through it. Unless it really is impossible for him to do himself, or he's stuck and could get hurt, I don't do it for him. I let him keep trying, through the tears. I hope that's a good lesson for him. It would be easier and quieter if I just did it, but I feel strongly that if his motorcycle is slightly stuck or just up against the wall, he can easily fix it and needs to keep trying. We'll see how that develops over time.
We survived the second to last week of surgery; it really wasnt too bad. KR had a day thst surgery canceled so he invited us to meet him for lunch. Then another day he got home in time for us to try a new mexican place- trying to find a titos clone-yummy but not the best. Then his Saturday shift he got done at like 9am!!
The weather can't make up cit's mind. Rain sun rain sun. We try walks in between rains. Next week, whoa! Ok this is the next 7 days....55 61 73 80 72 66 (or something like that) uhhh. Haha. I can't wait for Wednesday though!! Haha. Then KR has his test Friday and we're done with surgery!!! Then next he has peds!!! That's his last one for third year!!!!!! Wow!!!!! Ok sorry, its just so crazy!!!
Oops! Almost forgot about easter!
easter morning!












Deans first piano lesson




always with the feet!!


national pretzel day! Had to celebrate!

blazers in the playoffs so he had to wear this shirt I got him!




yummy danish I made!!!





My sweet boy. I can't stop taking pictures of him sleeping. He is so sweet and happy. Super shy, but once he warms up and gets comfortable, he's a chatter box with giggles galore. He's learning to share food with mama and just loves to move and explore. I can't imagine life without him!!! So grateful he's mine forever!!

49!!

*hes started saying, well lots of noises! He does this new jibberish thst is adorable! He also does this short, breathy "Whee" sound, not quite like weeee on a ride. Just repeats whee whee whee.
*this week he's really starting to be super in to putting things inside each other. Ball in cup, toy in box, etc. Hes been putting the ball in the elephant trunk a little here and there but now he really does.
*Tooth #5! His front left tooth finally beoke through! He had a rough few days and he had to have tylenol every night and even two mornings. But by the weekend, I was able to stop the medicine.
*since hes been walking a little, hes also falling. Actually not too bad but one day he fell on the corner of his drawer and then another day he was actually crawling with his hammer in his hand and fell. So now he had a bruise on each cheek and they look like dirt! Haha. Poor guy though. So far though hes been pretty fortunate.
*hes started saying Ya, sometimes even as an answer to a question haha. Not sure if he knows what it means but a few times hes nodded or said ya when I offer him a certain food.
*he can stick out his tongue finally! He's never done it and I think it's cuz of his tongue tie.
*its sounding like he is saying and mimicking more, like KR touching glasses and saying.cheers and dean saying ghee. Haha.
*Getting picky again with food! Boo! He went through a phase where he wouls eat pretty much anything we gave him; it was so fun! Now hes back to picky. He likes banana, string cheese, bread and grapes the best. He likes strawberries. And sometimes he likes peas, scrambled eggs, potatoes, sweet potatoes (roasted in sticks. If pureed he will eat them til the cows come home). Oh and he loves feeding himself his baby cereal, with which I mix squeezie food with for breakfast. I scoop some with the spoon and he puts it in his mouth and then grabs anything left over with his fingers and eats it. Also, anytime I am feeding him something with a spoon, like cereal, yogurt, puree, he always puts his knuckles in his mouth. Drives me nuts cuz then it gets every where haha.
*he tried to ride his motorcycle! He put.his leg over it! Haha. Only once. And hes getting really good at walking with it and when he hits a wall.or corner, instead of getting mad, he just turns it!
*Dean has learned to pout haha. When he gets upset, he will slowly squeeze his eyes and crinkle his face up and make a slow-building sad cry. You'd be surprised that it doesn't work well on me haha. Only cuz it's so funny! I mean it's adorable don't get me wrong. But I guess I just know it's fake and I think it's incredible that he understands that much so I just laugh in awe. By thr end of the week, I've seen it less do maybe since it doesn't get him what he wants, he won't try it anymore? (Haha ya right)
*our car started making this super loud and embarrassing sound last week so with the help of Peggy, over the course of three days, we got it fixed. It was the first car problems we've had since we got married since KRs parents bought that car brand new in 98 and take excellent care of it. And even then, this was nothing keeping the car from driving, just loud. It was an exhaust leak.
*Monday was so nice so we went to the zoo.
*we survived the week of night shifts! Monday, KR had a 24 hour shift from 530am to 630am Tuesday. Then 530pm to 630am each day. Then two of the mornings he had a meeting from 7-8am! They were working on the apartment downstairs and they brought a dog so poor KR wasn't able to sleep well. I tried to get Dean out when I could and he took some really great naps the first half the week. Like 2 hours! One was even 2:20!!! They went down hill from there but that's ok. His night time has still been good so we'll take it.
Saturday we went to a easter brunch for our ward and then a birthday party fire evren, our neighbors little boy. It was fun to take notes and think that will be Dean next month!!
I can't wait to get back on a normal schedule next week!!! Happy Easter!!(remember, I write this as if it's Saturday haha. Easter will be in next week's post)
*we went to this play time thing at the Jewish community center and Dean had a blast! I was impressed how far away from me he would venture.

MAY 22, 2008- HOME SWEET HOME!!!

I FOUND THIS BLOG POST THAT I WROTE BUT NEVER POSTED! I NEVER ADDED THE PICTURES EITHER, AS YOU WILL SEE. BUT IT WAS A FUN TO READ THIS, JUST LIKE A JOURNAL AND I HAD TO POST IT TO KEEP THE MEMORIES! ENJOY HAHA.
(background: this was the summer I went home after my first year at BYU. KR and I had been dating that semester prior but nothing serious and it was basically, "well nice meeting you have a nice life" when we parted ways, so that's why there is no mention of him, and I obviously was trying to distract myself from thinking about him!)



Oh my goodness I am finally home!! (Well I have been for almost a month now...sorry!!)

I was actually quite sad to leave Provo, only because I knew I was leaving all of my amazing friends and I would have to go all summer without them. But knowing I am going back in the fall makes it a little easier. I don't know how I am going to handle it when I graduate in APRIL! But it also made it easier because I was leaving to go to the best most fabulous, sunniest place ever!! CALIFORNIA!!!!

SO I don't remember if I have mentioned this before, but the screen on my camera broke and so although I can still take pictures, I cannot really tell what I am getting, nor can I review them afterwards. So, I have been relying on others who have attended the same events for pictures, and that's one contribution to my lagging in blogging. Hha. Sorry, that sentence made me laugh.

ANYWAYS enough excuses...on to the good stuff!!!

Since being home I have had loads of fun and enjoyed the sun as much as possible! You might notice a slight change in skin tone as this blog progresses..... :)

Well first let's go back to saying good bye to my beautiful wonderful friends.

The sisterhood had to have one last hurrah before we all went our seperate ways for the summer (sound familiar?) so we went to Mimi's Cafe (one of Ithink 4 times I went in the last week I was in Provo) and celebrated! We got dressed up, had dinner and even a little present time. We always joke about how we are like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and so being the cheesy person I am, I bought the first book and made a plan: each girl will read it and write notes in the margin as they go, and when they finish, they will mail it to the next girl! I know, I am so creative. haha. Hey don't judge me. But yes. I am in Hungtington, Carli and Traci are in San Diego, and Bobbi is still in Utah, so this will be our little way of keeping together. I am excited. Traci has the book first.

So yes, this was such a fun night, but being the dorks we are, we never got a shot of all four of us together!! Dang it!! Also, I think Traci got some better pictures but I have to get them from her. Man, I say that a lot. Ok too much writing....

Another most wonderful person I had to say goodbye to was Sarah!! I love her so much and I am missing her terribly!! It's nice to know I will see her in the fall too. She's one I am not too worried about, I know we will stay in touch and I just know we have a special friendship that will last throughout our adulthood years. You know how your mom will have a few friends from college, and she'll drag the whole family to their house once in a blue moon and you're like "Mom! We aren't even related! Who is this? I don't want to go!" ?? Yes, Sarah will be one of those friends for my kids. I can't wait! Haha.

It was sad to say goodbye, but I love her and I will see her again soon! Yay Sarah!

I went to Traci's graduation that Friday and it was pretty neat, and I am so proud of her. She graduated in four years and did so well and is so beautiful. I just love her. She's another one I am not too worried about because she lives in San Diego and, *spoiler alert*, she comes to visit it me a few times in the next few weeks. So, stay tuned! It was a great graduation, and kind of weird to think that will be me next April.

So I was supposed to leave Saturday morning, but I just got kind of antsy and just wanted to get out of there. So I didn't tell me parents and I left Friday night and just drove straight through the night. I've done it a few times before, and it would have been fine except I had been sick and so my normal way of keeping myself awake (singing at the top of my lungs) had to stop about half way through (I lost my voice by singing at the top of my lungs). You may laugh haha. But yes, I started to get kind of tired on the back half, but so many people love me and care for me, they kept checking in on me, and let me chat with them on the phone to stay awake and it was totally fine. Once I hit the 91, I was so excited, I was completely awake. Hooray for California!!

So, I woke up Saturday morning and I bet you can guess the first thing I wanted to do. That's right! THE BEACH!! It was super hot and I didn't even unpack yet, I just took my sister and went to the beach! It was beautiful and I was just so happy!!!

Then I kind of unpacked my clothes, but my room was still a mess!! Boxes everywhere, and I just felt like, why bother? I have to pack it all up in four months anyways. Then I realized four months is a long time, and so a few days later, I finally unpacked and my room is now completely back to what it was before, minus a few bags of get rid of stuff. ANyways, sorry I am babbling.

The next weekend was Sandra's wedding. Sandra is my beautiful cousin who I have been really close with my whole life. We've had our seperate lives the last few years, but we picked up right where we left off. It was sooooo fun to spend time with her and it meant a lot to me that she included me on a lot of things that week.

Wednesday, Traci (who was roommates with Sandra last year, remember that's how we met) came up to Huntington and we went to the Angel's game. It was so fun!!

Thursday we had Sandra's bachelorette party! Oh Em GEE! It was so fun!! There was a hummer limo, and we all had cute sashes and got dressed up! Steph made a scavenger hunt about special places for Sandra and Tyler and the first stop was Olive Garden. We had dinner, it was great, but they took too long, so we had to forgo the rest of the hunt, and just enjoyed the time we had left in the limo and danced like crazy!! It was so fun!! We even had Martinelli's (I promise that's what it was!!)

Friday, the day before the wedding, I went with Sandra and a few of her friends to get pedicures. It was nice and relaxed and so fun. That night I spent the night in what I could call "sandra's house" for the last time. It's so weird to me that she doesn't live around the corner for me since like, forever. It's so crazy that she's grown up and married and not living there anymore. AH! A good crazy though.

Saturday was the wedding!!! We went to the temple and watched them come out of the temple and she was SOOOO beautiful!! Oh my gosh! She looked like a princess, as you can see!! It was wonderful!

Then we went to the luncheon and it was delicious. Carli was in town by this time which was so fun!! She came over and we hung out a little bit while waiting for the reception to start.

The reception!! It was GORGEOUS!!! As you can kind of tell from the pictures. It was beautiful and fun and I just enjoyed myself. Haha, it was funny. Everyone who knows our families, knows I am the next oldest in our family (Sandra is a year older than me, and then Steph is a year younger, so the three of us have always been clumped together) and everyone kept coming up and asking, "So, are you next?" Hahah ya right. I was like, no, talk to Steph, at least she has a boyfriend. haha.

All in all it was a great day and I am sooo happy for her. I love her so much and Tyler is so fun. It meant a lot to me to be a part of it all and I am glad we were able to reunite. Thanks Sand!

So, after the hustle and bustle of the wedding died down, I found myself twiddling my thumbs a lot. Haha. Traci and Carli had gone back to San Diego, and Ivy wasn't home yet so I had absolutely no friends. Oh my goodness. I went from EVERY single night of having someone to hang out with and something to do, to every single day thinking, ah!! It's been a hard adjustment for me, but oh well, what can you do? I started working out again, and tried to find something productive everyday. I work 2 days a week at the Salon until my lifeguarding job starts, and that's been fun. Finally gave me a reason to get dressed in the morning haha. Just kidding. But it's also been nice to not have anything to stress about...

Ivy came home and boy am I going to cling to her this summer. I have been hanging out with Steph too, but she works and has her boyfriend, so we can only hang out sometimes. It's fun though. I love her too. But Ivy and I have gone to the beach a few times, and it's been super fun.

Saturday was my dad's birthday. Ivy and I went to the beach all day, and then a pool party at the Mason's and then dinner with my family. It was a good day, I like when I have lots and lots to do.

Then this week, Steph took me to the gym and I got a 2 week pass and guess what!! I RAN!! I ran for my cardio on the treadmill oh my gosh aren't you proud of me?? Anyone who knows me well enough, knows how much I hate running. So it was a big step for me and it actually felt good. I went again with Ivy last night and we are going again today. I want to get the most out of my two week pass, cuz I don't know if I can afford to get a real one. I gotta be money smart...dang it. Oh well.

Meanwhile, I started shadowing some people from my new job, doing swim lessons and coaching the little kids swim team. It was SOOO FUN!! I start life guarding on Saturday, I can't wait. If you don't already know, I am working as a life guard and doing swim lessons in Newport Coast. It's gorgeous there and the kids are so cute. I think I am going to love it.

SO, if you couldn't tell, I am very happy here in California and enjoying the sun and things are going well. I miss all my friends, but it's ok. I will see them again. I hope your summer is off to a great start as well and keep in touch!!! Love you all!!

48!!

This week, Dean took his first steps!!!!!! Ok so most of you know that by now haha. Luckily this blog is a journal for me so you get to hear about it again!!
KR got home and literally as the door opened, Dean was already in the process of standing up and he let go! I yelled repeatedly, hes standing up! And by the time KR got his shoes off and put his back pack and other stuff down and got in the living room, Dean was still standing! We were so excited KR didn't miss it! Then I had the idea to have him walk between us, back and forth. Err tried it once last week but not much happened. But this time, I could just tell he was ready. He took a few steps! Back and forth! Since then, he had been standing on his own, sometimes without help from any objects and he's getting better at slowly squatting back down. However, he had taken a few tumbles. He was going for his open dresser drawers and I want fast enough and he hit his cheek on the corner. He still had a bruise :( it looks like he's dirty haha. Dean is such a conundrum. He is stubborn with so much determination and so curious and wants to get into everything. Yet, he's a bit of a wussy haha. Gets that and his stubbornness from me (KR can be stubborn too; dean had no chance). He is so scared of the vacuum and although he likes being thrown up in the air, if you slowly lift him, he grabs on for dear life and gets so scared. Haha.
We went to the park in Monday with Peggy and Jameson and Dean tried the swings again. This time he loved them! So I took him to the park again later this week-there is one like a half mile away and we needed to go for a quick walk to get out. I have a feeling that will happen a lot this summer! It's so great!
This week has been pretty mellow. KR had her long hours- he didn't get home till like 8:30 one day- but dean for the most part had been doing well. He's sleeping well, with a few naps here and there being cruddy. He's been mostly happy. The last few days, he's hitting this grumpy wall around 430 or 5 and it's really frustrating while I try and cook dinner and then KR gets home right when I need to start bath time so instead of starting early to get his grumpy bum to bed, he'd starting later. Just a tad later but still. He's had a little bit of a boogey nose and today it's runny. I'm still convinced it was the library haha.
He hit his 11 months this Friday!!!! The count down to his birthday begins!!! I'm so stress but excited!
Friday was a big day too cuz it was Bethany's 18th birthday and Marissa graduated college! And this year is busy cuz Marissa and Jennifer graduate college, Amber graduates with her aa from golden west, Bethany graduate high school and Jennifer is getting married! Throw in a Schultz family reunion in tahoe and dean's first birthday and bam! Two busy parents/grandparents! Haha. Good luck!
Well even though Dean had a major milestone this week, the rest was pretty low key. He's just really learning in and out, like putting things inside something else. He also shakes his head no when he doesn't want something and I'm not sure if it was coincidence but he nodded yes sheen I asked if he wanted strawberry.









His byu balls from aunt jenn


A rare occurrence. He's sleeping in my arms while I blog. He hasn't done thst since like 5 months old, back when that construction was going on.

47 1/2

Two things I forgot...
*frequently, when dean does that short, quick gasp sound, he points up. Not sure what he's pointing at, as he points to everything lately, but usually it's actually something. But the gasp and point is always aimed straight up.
*once in a while he does downward dog haha.

47 weeks

*dean has these toys for the bath that have little holes to drain water out, like a strainer. He figured out that if he puts it.in the water, it fills up and then he lifts it and it drains.
*he also has some nesting cups in the bath, that he figured out if he hands me one, he then grabs another and puts it inside the first and so on!
*hes figured out how to flip the handle on his tool box so once he hammers the shapes in to the holes, he can flip the middle piece and get to them again.
*KR started im gonna get your nose but dean leans in with a hige smile and.his mouth open and gives him his nose. It's still adorable!!
*I've noticed he flips the pages less when we read to him. In a good way, only when we actually need to, so we can actually finish reading each page haha.
*he's started, all on his own, covering an item with his hands and then revealing it. Peek a boo! When he reveals it, he puts his hands up like where did it go?
*i usually pray out loud and lately Dean will say Amen when I finish
*we borrowed some wipes one day for a quick diaper change and he got a horrible rash! For 3 days, every single diaper change, I rinsed him in the tub, dabbed with a wash cloth, blow dried with the blow dryer, let him go naked and then plaster with cream and a diaper one size up. Oy.
*we went to the park with our neighbor and her son who is one month older. We were laying on the blanket and Dean wouldn't crawl off it, like his little friend. He doesn't like grass! She and I are both germ freaks, but luckily I got a son evil so far doesn't like the grass. Side story: this lady with a small dog walked by and was like, so you want me to bring her closer, the worst she will do is lick. I said, that's the absolute worst thing that can happen! So she kept her a bit away, and I lied and said how cute she was cuz I felt bad. But my friend laughed later and thanked me over and over haha. We both were freaking out! Sick don't lick my child!!
*Story time! I took Dean to the library that's less than half a mile away, so we can walk. The same neighbor invited me and it finally worked out with deans naptime. It was fun! Although i was freaked out over germs, he didnt want to leave my lap anyway. And I did let him touch a communal book (which sidenote, he got hoarse later thst day and im convinced he got sick! Haha) but they dang little songs with actions and did bubbles. Dean looooved bubbles! Good thing I already got some in his Easter basket(which is already assembled and I've been dying to give to him!)
*Saturday, he started this tiny little Squeak "oh" sounds that's just like a tiny gasp. It's so cute. A tiny bit of me it's worried it is something with his lungs, like associated with his hoarseness. But I'm sure it's coincidence. I hope anyway.
*he just loves KRs pillow. He cuddles it, plays with it, hides under it, just gets so happy with it haha.
KR started his surgery rotation. He gets up at 415 and gets home about 7ish. Not horrible but an adjustment and I wish he could get more sleep. Dean has done a little better this week, do that helps. Then his Saturday, he got off at 10 which was a nice surprise. We can do it! It's just harder.










Oh Saturday, KR had priesthood session of conference so we went out to eat at sweet tomatoes and then I dropped him off at the lake Oswego stake center and went to deseret book. It was ladies night and I wanted to go but not alone. Finally I decided to and ran into my two friends I talk to the most in my ward haha. I also ran in to two elderly women from my old ward. It was so fun! They had raffles and food, although I didn't eat any, too full. And everything was 20% off so I got a few Jesus books for Dean. They also had this painting I became obsessed with!! Like, obsessed!!! It matches our living room and hutch perfectly!!! And although it's the salt lake temple, we've never been there together or anything, not inside anyway, it's a classic temple that is gorgeous and can be displayed anywhere. Ahh! It was 60% off too!!! But, even so, that discount brought it to 80 which I couldn't justify haha. Oh well. So I took a picture to remember it. Now I journaled the memory haha
