Things that make my heart stop

Carlos-isims
Carlos' personality has really come out in the last month or so. He is learning new things everyday and loves to share them with us. His new words that he has learned and loves to say are ball, shoes, juice, jump, and hi just to name a few. He also says what sounds like complete sentences like "where'd it go?" and "I got it!" and "what's that?". He has also FINALLY decided that he can call me mama now and it is so cute when he comes up to me and says,"Hi, mama!" and waves at me. He melts my heart :) I love watching him explore and show me things that he has found. He is babbling with lots of different sounds now so we can tell he wants to talk more and express himself. He is into dancing and loves music (thank you Pandora Radio! The Toddler station is so great :) ) and loves to try to jump (he says "jump" while trying to jump too which is sooo cute) and has gotten both feet off the ground a couple of times :)

He's still my little guy. At his doc appointment in April he weighed 17lbs 10oz and was 28in tall. I swear their scale isn't right because every time we weigh him at home he's at least 18.5lbs. Either way he's still just tiny. He is wearing 9 month onesies and shorts now, but the 9 month pants and footie jammies are still too long on him as you can see in the jumping video above (but 6 month ones are too short, poor kid). Someday he'll wear clothes that go with his age, right? ha ha. We love him no matter how big he is though :) He may be small, but he is full of energy! Now all we need is for him to not be so picky about food. We are trying to get him to eat more table foods and less baby food, and he's not really into that plan. We weaned him just recently so he's been having some anxiety from that I think. I'm so glad that we found out he can drink from a straw (by accident) or else I would still be nursing him and he wouldn't be drinking anything during the day. Best purchase I've made for him in the last month was getting some straw sippy cups that's for sure! :):) He loves his big boy cups (and so do we)! And it was just what we needed to get him to drink cow's milk too (we figured it was because the straw ones don't require you to tip your head back to drink like the other cups did. He never wanted to tip his head back on his own, just chew on the spout ha ha.) Now he loves drinking anything we put in a cup for him:)
That's all I have for now. We are going to be going camping for a week at Bellows for Ward Camp from the 13th through the 17th. Carlos and I are going up a couple days before Luke so I will be by myself for a couple days with the boy. That will be an adventure for sure ha ha. I hope he sleeps well while we are camping since he has a hard time sleeping in a new place. And being weaned recently doesn't help either I'm sure. Wish us luck!

Beach babies
We love that the weather has been getting nicer the closer it gets to summer! Carlos loves being outside, but he hates the sand and ocean ha ha. Luckily Ko'Olina has grass so we can be at the beach and he can still run around without being upset (too much). We took him just the 3 of us in the beginning of may and he refused to go in the sand or water for longer than oh say...5 seconds..ha ha. I got some pics of him playing with his sand toys in the grass (my goofy kid).
The last week of may we went to Ko'Olina again with our friends the McMillan's and made him be in the sand and go into the ocean for a bit longer. He spent most of the 2 hours we were there on the blanket though ha ha. Luckily our friends have a one year old (Holden) too so they got to play with each other and share snacks :)
We went to Bellows for Memorial Day (with the McMillan's) and Luke took Carlos into the water and freaked him out (the tide was really strong compared to Ko'Olina and Carlos did not like it one little bit). We spent alot of time on the blanket under the beach umbrella :) I didn't get any pics of us that day though, sorry.
I will really miss being able to go to the beach when ever we want so we are going to try to go as often as we can before we move in a couple of months. :)

Haircut number 3
I think this last haircut has been the most successful at getting an even haircut without a huge meltdown. He sure looks handsome in his new summer do! :) You can also see all the new teeth he's gotten recently. Just 8 more and he will have all his baby teeth!
You can't even tell that he's been sick for over a week in these pics. (oh yeah, we were hit with a cold from hell again. This time the whole fam was sick for almost 3 weeks...ugh). Thank goodness we are all better now! Being sick blows.

Busted!
We keep having to rearrange the "barriers" in the living room because he keeps figuring out how to defeat them (aka climb up on top of the boxes and scare his mother). In the process of doing some rearranging he discovered just how fun it is to pull out all the DVDs and CDs he can reach and then stand on them. So much for alphabetizing them huh? ha ha. It's a good thing he's cute though! We have been able to box them off again though because he thought it would be fun to try to pull the DVD rack on top of him and that didn't sit well with me (don't worry, he was never successful in knocking it down). Here's hoping the barrier lasts until we move. We will be purchasing a better entertainment system so we can lock those kinds of things away and eliminating the desire for him to knock the rack down on himself.
my dare devil
Carlos has figured out how to scale the safety gates that we have and I'm not too thrilled about it. The packaging said that they are climb proof. They so lied! That or my baby is just too dang smart for his own good lol. We have since raised them up so they are high enough for him to not climb but not too high for him to crawl under either. We'll see how long that lasts...ha.
P.S. it didn't last long. He has gotten just tall enough to climb up onto the gates now and they are up off the ground. Smarty pants.

Carlos' first Easter
I got a couple pics of him with his Easter basket. He went for the ball that was in there instantly ha ha. I think he's gonna love playing sports when he's older :)

Family Photos 2011
We had family photos taken on April 16 by a friend of a friend (see her website here) and they turned out great! Carlos was being a stinker that day so he only smiled if one of us was behind the camera being complete goof balls ha ha. Anyway here they are for your viewing pleasure :)
