Just some pictures.

Learning how to sit on Dad's shoulders. I can't tell you how long Erik has waited to be able to carry around his little one on his shoulders. They are such good buddies. 

I have been working on getting this baby to take nap times in his crib which has been a HUGE thing for me. I have 2 or 3 hours in the afternoon now that I have free arms and a quiet house to do whatever I want/need to do. I love my baby so much but it is so freeing to just have a little bit of alone time in the day. Also it wasn't really 81 degrees up in his room and if it was he has a fan on him the whole time, I promise I'm not making him sleep in horrible stagnant heat! 

Erik and I had an idea to make gourmet popcorn and it was so good! We made a twix popcorn that had animal cookies crushed up, chocolate, and caramel; and a s'mores one that had marshmallow, chocolate, and graham crackers; then we made a taco popcorn with taco seasoning. They all turned out really good!

Silly post-bath face. He loves his bath time and loves to splash around he is our little water baby. 

Me and my buddy.

He was so cute this day. Again, I can't pick a favorite so I post all of them! 

Selfie!

Sleeping with mama one morning. Every once in awhile he just doesn't want to be in his room anymore but he's still tired so I'll bring him in to our bed for the last hour of sleep in the morning. I don't get any sleep that way but he's sure fun to cuddle!

Now he's getting it! Cruising on Dad's shoulders! He immediately puked all down Erik's hair and neck after that but well worth the adorable picture!

More post-bath time. He is just so cute and cuddly after his baths I can't help it!

Rocking his beaver jersey. We're getting ready for football season over here, we need to find him some broncos onesies before much longer so he can watch with Dad.

Elephant noises by Daddy are no fun. He gets the cutest pouty lip!

New living room

Beautiful Corvallis. This was the top of bald hill a couple of weeks ago.

 

 

Went for a walk in the rose garden on one of the slightly rainy days we had a bit ago. So gorgeous!

 

Shark Week! This kid is starting to put everything in his mouth including Daddy's hand!

 

Caught him sucking his thumb after our walk.

 

smiles.

 

This kid and his little personality he kills me! Getting bigger and bigger every day.

 

I already posted this on facebook but for those who didn't see I was quietly waking him up so I could feed him and we could go pick up Erik and I quietly said "Denver" and this is what I got. He did this several times in response to me talking to him.

 

Dear grandmas and grandpas,

I may be small but I really want to go to Disneyland and chill with Mickey and the gang. And we have to bring mom and dad...

Love, Denver

 

The rolls get bigger and bigger

 

This has been our major project the last couple of weeks which turned in to more work than we thought but the result has been so worth it! Pardon the mess but I wanted to take a quick before photo of our furniture. Lots of dark brown which makes this room feel like a dungeon in our grey Oregon winter.

 

Before

 

After!

 

 

We decided a long time ago we wanted to add latches to this table because the top slides open to store blankets in and with Denver becoming mobile and climbing up on things this winter it was time to do it. Now you have to undo a latch on each side to make it open. No pinched fingers and bonked heads for us! At least on this piece of furniture.

 

I also added some color to our decor we already had. That basket was dark brown as were the candle sticks on the left and the candles were white. It just brightens everything up a bit.

 

And some giggles for your enjoyment

 

 

3 months old!

 

I don't know why but I have been completely fascinated with his peaceful sleeping face. It is so beautiful to me I have a ton of random sleeping pictures of him.

 

Look at that fat full belly! He also decided this day to soak his outfit and not hold any of his food in. Yuck!

 

Happy boy in the backseat of the car. He's decided he's only happy back there when someone is keeping him company but I refuse to sit back there and make him think if he whines he'll get some company. Hopefully he'll soon realize that whining doesn't help and he'll start enjoying car rides again. This was while we waited outside while dad was in the store one day.

 

At the coast! We stayed at our friend's beach house with them for the weekend and it was beautiful weather! I just strapped Denver to me and we went down for walks on the beach.

 

He's starting to play with his knees and feet when laying down he had scratches on his knees one day from his too long fingernails and trying to pull at them and play with them.

 

Happy boy on a walk. He loves the stroller!

Getting so big

 

We got him this new binki clip and sometimes it lays itself just perfectly over his face and gives him a moustache. Haha!

 

He hardly ever sleeps not strapped up so him sleeping sprawled out like this is rare

 

Mom help! I'm stuck!

 

Getting too big! I already posted this on facebook but that's his outfit we took him home from the hospital in. Getting so big!

 

New flowers my boys bought me after all mine died while we were in Utah.

 

More sleeping

 

So tired this night he fell asleep while I nursed him then slept completely through his diaper change.

 

Sleeping in church. His snores put the high priests to shame...

 

First time rolling over. It's been a week and a half and he hasn't done it since. Guess it was a fluke. He likes laying on his side though, he just never gives it enough momentum to get over that shoulder.

 

Cool dude on his walk with his sunglasses, binki and octopus

 

He has been eyeballing this big white tag on his play gym and he finally got it one day and just hung on to it while he sucked on his fist.

 

baby burrito. I think I'm getting pretty dang good at swaddling.

 

in his swimsuit ready for water fun!

 

Erik's lab did a trip to the river last week.

 

Erik's professor bought Denver this little floatie so we had to try it out. We also got him a life jacket this baby would float his way to the ocean he was so buoyant! Although he was not a fan of the slightly chilly river water. "This is nothing like my bath tub people!"

 

 

Loving on his pirate monkey! Mostly he likes to just stuff him in his mouth but it works!

 

I've been loving this little chair for him to sit in because I can take him anywhere in the kitchen, outside, etc. And have a nice place for him to sit but he's getting a bit too wiggly. While I was doing my hair the other day he starts crying and i look down and he's like this. Guess it's time to start strapping him in.

 

Sleeping in our bed

 

Sitting up

 

3 months old photo shoot. Getting the cutest personality I love him. Also please someone help me figure out how to rotate photos!
