18 Weeks! It's a boy!

The doctor asked if we wanted to know. Of course! But Michael always said if it's a boy we will know because he would be hanging out in all his glory and if it was a girl she would have her legs crossed. I was in a little shock that it was so easy. Cause their he was hanging out in all his glory. Michael and the doctor gave each Hi-fives. I’m just lying their wondering what is going on and wondering what we got ourselves into.

22 weeks later we had our little boy, OK really big boy. Right on his due date. It was a short fast painful labor. He wasn't breathing when he was born which was scary. But he soon came to life. And ever since then he hasn't stopped.

18 months later he is still going! We love this little guy more, and more each day. Some of the things he thinks of makes me wonder what we got ourselves into. He has really turned into a little man the last few weeks.

2 weeks old and we moved to a new state.

At 5 months old he could sit up without support.

At 7 months old he started jumping like a frog. He would get his legs under him and push. He looked like a little frog.

8 months he was done frog jumping. He started to crawl, which is funny Because he never got up on all fours and rocked like most babies. He just started crawling one day.

On April 1^st he got his first tooth.

His first word was Bella at 9 months old. It’s the dog’s name.

Also he gave up his pacifier. Michael was teasing him one day by putting it in his mouth. McKay took it back and shoved it Michael mouth and we could never get it in his mouth again.

May 30, 2011 Hanging out in Blanding.

He started running at 10 ¾ months old, he never really took baby steps. It was like it just clicked one day. I remember we were at my grandma Meier’s house in June and he stood up all by himself. Ever since then he hasn't stopped.

June 23, 2010 barely walking and ready to ride. When ever he got the chance he was on grandpa Meier's four-wheeler.

At 12 months we celebrated his 1st birthday and we lost his baby brother.

At 14 months he was done with the morning nap. That was a sad day.

Halloween Super hero

Daddy has a matching outfit!

At 17 months McKay had his 2nd Christmas! He was so fun!! He loved ripping the paper.

And now he is 18 months and going to nursery!!!

He loves stuffed animals! Anything soft.
He loves dogs and animals.
He says lots of words.
and is Very busy

We love you McKay!! Keep on growing but just not to fast!!

So I haven't blogged in a while. I've been a little busy working on some things. Right now I'm working on a little project and having a hard time deciding which color to use. These aren't the best coloring, but they where colors that we could afford, and that might last with a kid and dog.
