Thanksgiving weekend!

I know I'm a little late posting these but here are some pictures of Romans first Thanksgiving and the first time he got to meet his aunt Sayli and cousin Bostyn!

The first time Roman got to meet Bub!

Right before we headed over to Chases parents

Rome had a quick nap in the chair with dad.

Roman's Grandma fed him his dinner.

He did surprisingly well considering he hadn't been around her

in almost 3 months!

He was waiting patiently

haha what a cutie

Time for the good stuff!

He made a HUGE mess haha

And he loved every second of it!

After we got him cleaned up

 he spent some time with his Grandpa

He also tried riding Bella lol

Neither of them were to happy about this

He played with his Aunt Mariah

a lot too 

hahaha

And after a very long day,

a ton of food,

and playing with some great people,

he passed out.

A big thanks to the Dodge family for letting us spend Thanksgiving with you! We had a blast!

Sayli and Bostyn came to visit us from South Dakota and spent a week here. It's been 5 years since I last saw my BFF and this was the first time Roman and I got to meet Bostyn. We enjoyed every second of it and hopefully we'll get to see them again soon.

My 3 favorite people :-)

It was soooo hard trying to get a picture with both of them holding still

Gotta love wild boys lol

Roman LOVED Sayli!!!

Roman looks all sweet and innocent..

And then he starts to attack Bostyn.

Poor little guy. Rome was being a bully

I love these boys!

Roman is 7 months old!

On Saturday Roman turned 7 months old!!!!!!
He is getting ready to crawl now. He can scoot backwards but hasn't figured out how to go forwards yet.
He has started grabbing onto things and pulling himself up already too! I'm going to have my hands full when he starts moving haha.

His aunts were trying to bribe him into crawling

by putting toys and binkis in front of him.

So close!!!

apples

Roman has been getting better and better

at grabbing smaller objects with his hands!

He LOVES apples!

I love his smile.

He's such a sweetheart.

Family pictures (part one)

A few weeks ago we got together with my dads family and took some beautiful pictures at Murray park.
They turned out sooo good!!
Here are a few...

Roman is just to cute for his own good

I absolutely love this picture

Chase looks so handsome!!

Me & Chase

<3

As soon as I get the others I'll post them!!

First Halloween

Monday was Romans first Halloween! We spent the day with Chases grandparents. Rome just adores them. He doesn't usually do very well with people he doesn't see on a regular basis but he was all smiles and just couldn't get enough of them! Later that night we got him all dressed up and headed to Chases work so he could show off our little man lol. Right after that we drove over to my Dads house and spent some time with them. It was a very busy day but it was worth it!

My little baby leopard

Trying on a wig.

haha what a goof ball

6 months old!!!!!

Roman is now 6 months old! He's not my little new born any more.. tear..
Everyday he is more and more fun to play with though. Watching him sit up and play with toys is the cutest thing in the world. He's starting to jabber and make his own words. He can say "momma" and "mine" pretty well though haha. (Even though he doesn't know what they mean it sooooo cute.) He has started to develop some separation anxiety too and won't let anyone besides his mommy hold him. It's hard but I gotta say I love knowing that he only wants me! haha.

On the weekends we have been able to spend a lot of time with both set of his grandparents. He loves his grandma Leslie and he can't get enough of his grandma Sylvia and Grandpa Todd as long as he can see me. He also loves playing with his aunts, uncles (especially Riley!)  and all of his cousins. It means a lot to me knowing that he is going to have a good relationship with them!

We took Roman to his 6 month check up last Monday.. He was 15 lbs 9 oz and 28 inches long!!! His weight is in the 12 percentile and his length is in the 78 percentile. The doctor said everything looks good and that he his very healthy.

Roman is VERY loved.

Playing with mommy.

Pumpkin Carving!

Last night Chase and I carved Romans first pumpkin! It took forever but it turned out really good!

He was having a blast climbing all over it.
