Easter!!

Romans second Easter was a blast! He went on an egg hunt,, saw the Easter bunny,, and got a TON of presents in his basket. I think the Easter bunny has a shopping problem because Roman was spoiled rotten this year haha.

Showing off the egg he found.

He was so happy.

I'm happy we were able to spend Easter together as a family <3

On Chases days off we always try to get out of the house and play. This last week we took Roman to Murray Park to feed the ducks and swing. He loved it! There weren't very many ducks to feed but he had a fun time throwing them the bread and eating some himself lol.

What a fun day<3

Roman trying on dads helmet

Oh and it turns out he can do that weird googly eye thing lol

11 months old

Our sweet little boy is 11 months old!! He can almost walk, he says momma, dada, and baba. Rome has pretty good aim with a ball ( He likes to throw it at moms head lol) and he is trouble. Anything that he isn't supposed to play with he does. He LOVES tormenting our dog and teasing his grandma Leslie. He also loves listening to music and dancing with dad. His favorite foods are bananas and buttered noodles. Playing with dad is one of his favorite things to do but when its time to relax he only wants mom. Everyday Chase and I realize how lucky we are to have such an amazing little boy.

SMILE

Romans first tooth finally came in today! Wahoo! It's about time. They have been popping in and out for months now. I'm so excited to finally start giving him solid foods haha.



Last night Roman had fun doing another sensory activity. I made edible finger paint and let him make a giant mess.

The playground

10 months old

At ten months old Roman is one wild little boy. He never holds still for longer than 2 minutes and is always getting into trouble. He is constantly jabbering and having "conversations" with anyone who will talk back to him. He isn't walking on his own yet but he's very close. Rome loves playing with his daddy but he's still a mommas boy ;-). Chase and I are so lucky to have such a handsome little guy in our lives.

Hanging out with mom and dad

on Valentines day!

Playing in the mirror at the doctors office

He was not happy about being set in the snow.



Play time

Last night we decided to try a new activity called "sensory play". The point of this was to let Roman experience new textures and to encourage the development of his motor skills and creativity. We first started by pouring some dry infant cereal in front of him We would add a little bit of water at a time so he could see and feel the changes in the cereal as it went from light and dry to thick and wet. At first he wasn't sure about touching it and getting dirty but after a few minutes he dove right in and had a blast making a huge mess.



Walking!

Roman can almost walk!! He'll be running around in no time.

9 months old!!!

On January 8 we had Roman blessed! We just wanted to say thank you to all of our friends and family who came and participated in this special moment. 

He looked so handsome in his little outfit <3

Rome is now 9 months old!!! It's crazy to think that he will be 1 soon. He can crawl, walk with help, say "mama", "yaya" (dada), "baba", he loves it when you sing to him, and we are teaching him sign language! It's amazing how fast he learns and how observant he is. 

Every night before bed we read a book. 

It's one of his favorite activities.

 Eating a cookie lol

 He likes to pick things up with his mouth so he can crawl around.

He's such a goof.

Kisses!

 Playing with grandpa.

He was having sooo much fun.

Haha he is such a happy baby.

NYE!

New years eve was a blast, nothing beats spending time with the family!

Roman had so much fun playing with grandpa haha

every time he would blow raspberries on the back of his neck Rome would pull this face.

It was cracking everyone up.

He loved watching fireworks outside with mom and dad!

Spendig some time with dad.

Overall it was an amazing night! I'm so happy we were able to spend time with our family! 2012 here we come!!!
