Getting warmer

Okay so I just thought it was so cute of Troy all covered in Spaghetti. It was his first time eating it, so Hailey of course was like please take a picture of me too. I think she has the cutest smile but it's hard to catch it. If I tell her to smile I usually get a fake one. I'm sure she's thinking hurry up and take it already mom. These two sure keep me busy!



Josh is putting his heart and soul into our grass which we absolutely love. So he was aerating it while the sprinklers were going and brave Troy followed him into the water and loved it. He crawled all over. It was very cute!
I've been wanting to get a cute tub shot. For the longest time it was the most stressful thing to throw them both in the tub together but it's getting better. Bath times are definitely getting shorter.

Another random thing when I go in to get Troy up from naps or in the morning he give's me a hug. He will squeeze and pat me. He also squeals or bounces. I love it!! It just melts me every time!

Surgery Again?

Okay so it sounds scarier then it is but Troy had tubes put in his ears on Friday April 30th. This was after a series of four ear infections, one of which he ear drum ruptured. We were in the Doctor's office about every two weeks trying out a different antibiotic. It was a tough choice to make but we felt like this was the right one! Troy is up to 24 pounds now, please slow down a bit Troy we're going through clothes too fast! With this surgery they did put him under using gas and gave him a medicine to help relax him (it worked so well!). He definitely work up much more mad this time but other then that not too bad! I also wish I had my nurse from last time I saw her there but she wasn't my nurse this time! It can make such a big difference! Troy is such a sweetie! He is such a good sleeper, he's good for two naps a day and pretty much always sleeps through the night. If he does wake up he quickly drinks a bottle and goes back to sleep. He's pretty excited about crawling and cruising although it get him into trouble a lot. It keeps him pretty entertained. He keeps getting bruises all over his forehead from so many spills but he is getting better at falling in less painful ways. Josh and I are making bets on when he might start walking. He thinks a little sooner and I'm thinking later! It might be in my head but I feel like this surgery has been an improvement to him because he has been crazy vocal the last few days. Mostly saying da-da-da, which of course Josh just loves! Hopefully these tubes help a lot and we see tons of improvement! Before....

One of my favorite nurses!!

Oops, you weren't suppose to see that, Cover up Troy!

Troy all drugged up. I kind of got a kick out of this because I could tell he was so loopy! He was laughing at everything and just spacing out.
Right after surgery.
Going home, Yeah!
Hailey played with Grandma Hakes. She just got back from Hawaii so Hailey had to try her gift on! Thanks for helping us out!

This is so cute!

Troy is obsessed with playing out side! Between our little toy and the swing we got for Easter and one of our neighbors gave us another little slide, he cannot get enough of playing outside. (Such a true boy! Loves the outdoors.) Anytime Hailey leaves the back door, or front door open for that matter, he is out the door as fast as he can. One day just after Josh got home I followed him into our room to talk and just a minute later I go to check on the kids and they were both outside playing. It was so cute I wished I would have gotten a picture of it! I did get some other cute pictures though of Troy trying to get out, and a video. I just love it!



Also here is Hailey taking a nap one day, in the most awkward position! Funny girl!

Carnival

On Saturday we went to the Carnival, Hailey was so excited! It was very expensive so I kinda went away having spenders remorse but we made a fun memory. Hailey got to go on three rides and then we got a few treats. Troy was there too but I guess we didn't think to get any pictures of him.

Troy is 9 months(like 2 weeks ago)

On March 28th Troy turned 9 months. He wasn't quit yet crawling but has since started it was about 1 week after he was nine months. He also got his first tooth (The only thing he's done before Hailey.) He also can pull up in his crib to stand. I still think it is so cute to walk in and see him standing there waiting for me. He got another earache and this time got a shot of antibiotic so hopefully this is not a reaccuring problem. It was a pretty yucky earache where he had visable puss coming out. TMI, sorry. (I've decided to make a blog book so that is why I'm trying to write more and add more pictures!) Troy was also about 22 pounds maybe he'll work a little bit of that off when he gets moving more but he sure has a appatite. He is such a sweetie who is pretty easy going! We love our big boy Troy!!

Crawling!

If you look closely you can see Troy's tooth along with some food.

Post Easter fun!

The Saturday after Easter the Primary decided to have a Easter Egg hunt activity. It was really fun and we had a good turn out. Hailey and Troy had a lot of fun!



We got ourselves dressed today!

Hailey is helping Troy look at the camera, I don't think he likes it!

Easter

On Easter we had my parents come over and siblings and we had lunch between conference. It was fun!

We tried to get a little family picture but it was so crazy windy that it didn't really turn out.
I don't know what Josh and Hailey think is so funny in this picture!
