Way too long..... (part deux)

Like I said I have so much to update so this post had to be a 2 parter. Anyways..... Easter was fun with McKade around, even though he didn't know what was going on he still enjoyed his Easter baskets from us and Grandma and Grandpa Metelko. He is funny with "containers" of any sort, he will dump everything out then put the stuff back in and will do this over and over. He liked the easter eggs because some had stuff in them so he liked to shake them and make noise. I have him a marshmellow peeps and he wasn't having anything to do with touching it because it was sticking to his hand. If I held it for him he would taste it but wouldn't touch it himself. It was too funny to watch.

McKade has decided that sitting up in the bath is boring and now insists on getting onto his tummy, I can sit him up and he will immediately get back onto his tummy. He looks like a little frog swimming when he does this it's funny. He will also stick his mouth in the water and lap at it like a dog, every now and then he will put his face in further that he intended and get a suprise nose-full of water. He will learn.

This shows the sense of humor he is getting. I have had a cold for the past couple of weeks and always get this annoying cough that hangs on forever. I have noticed that when I cough McKade will cover his ears, how does a 9 month old know to cover his ears to block out an annoying cough????? Today I was feeding him and was able to cough and get him to do it for a picture. It's soooo funny because he will do it over and over each time I cough. If only he could talk he would tell me to "shut up with the coughing all ready". Other funny things he does is he smile but will scrunch up his face so his eyes close and then will laugh and do it again. He also has started making this funny noise so he will do his scrunchy face smile, make his funny noise and laugh at himself or with us because we are laughing and do it over and over. I have tried to catch it on video but haven't been able to yet. When I do I will be sure to post it because it's good for a laugh.

Also this past week I had a birthday........this one I would like to forget because I turned 30 (gasp!?!?!?!) When did this happen, I still remember being a dumb teenager skipping class in highschool (sorry mom) and now I'm 30. I can't believe it, time really does fly when you are having fun. My mother in law had dinner for us and than me, Paul and McKade went to Orem on Friday for some shopping and dinner. My mom watched McKade so we could go to dinner, I can't remember the last time we went to dinner just by ourselves. It was nice to just be the 2 of us.

Since I was at work on Thursday on my birthday Paul helped Mckade send me flowers. They are absolutely gorgeous and so sweet. The card said "Happy 30th mom, love McKade", very sweet. First time I have gotten flowers sent to me at work, great job babe.

Wow...a marathon post but finally caught up with what has been going on in our lives for the past month or so. Bring on spring and the warm weather, we are getting antsy and need to get outside.

Way too long......(part 1)

It's been way to long since I have uploaded this. When I find a free moment I have 10 other things that needs to get done and this comes last. In the last month we have done a lot and had so much fun. McKade went to his first parade, we celebrated our first Easter as a family, spent a weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Ward, went swimming for the first time and had so much fun doing it all. McKade is getting the funniest personality and you can see his sense of humor coming out. It's amazing to me how much he knows and how smart he is. I can't believe how fast the little ones learn how to interact with their world. Oh what a ride....

McKade was "helping" me fold laundry and thought it was pretty funny to have daddy's socks on his hands. He went crazy swinging his arms around and laughing at the socks flapping around.

Cousin Holden turned 5 at the end of March and we went swimming for his party. At first McKade didn't know what to think of the water, nor did I because it was cold for a pool I thought. After he got used to it he thought it was pretty cool and kept squealing and laughing at his cousins and splashing. Lots of fun. His swim trunks are still too big on him even though they are only 6-9 months but I had to roll them down so the waist was a little tighter on him. What a stud huh.

Ashley kept trying to get a picture of him looking at the camera and smiling but either he was whining because he was still getting used to the water or was distracted by the other kids. Either way we still got some fun pictures of him swimming.

Price has a St Patricks day parade every year, it's kind of lame but the kids thought it was cool. I thought McKade would get scared of the fire engine sirens but he was fascinated with the parade. The 2 boys are my friends kids and are just adorable, the older one Cayson (holding on to McKade) looks like a little studly man huh.

This was the same weekend we went to my parents for Holden's birthday. It had been since Christmas since the kids had seen McKade so he has changed a ton since then. They had so fun with him. McKade fell over while sitting up and hit his head and started to cry, Kiya jumped down from the counter where she was eating and washed her hands and ran out to the living room to comfort him. What a big mother huh. Kennedy was fascinated with the other baby and was so funny with McKade. And Holden just loved having another boy around and was too fun to watch him with McKade. I wish we lived closer to them so they got to spend more time together, we always had so much fun growing up with our cousins.
