Someone please tell me...

How did this happen?

Seriously.

First day of kindergarten was a complete success.

He came home asking why he couldn't stay all day.

Home work, uniforms, school projects.

I am a full fledge mom now.

I love it.

Capri: Month 8

I cannot believe that we have reached 8 months already!  You are closer to 1 year than you are to being a newborn... how did that happen!?

You are the pretty much the sweetest baby ever.  

-you love your blankets. a lot.

-you have not met a food you don't like.  You are always interested in taking a taste of whatever we are eating.  Your recent favorite has been graham crackers and bananas.

-you love the pool.  You will sit back and float around all day.

-you were not too interested in the beach.  

-you love to smile and do at everyone.

-you recently found your voice... and it is loud.

-you just got a new highchair and you think you are pretty cool stuff in it.

-you are still a pretty good sleeper and if you have to miss a nap you are pretty good and just going with the flow.

-you just started to army crawl and seem to find everything and anything on the floor.

-you l.o.v.e. jewelry.  I have to turn my wedding ring into my palm when I feed you because you always want to grab it and eat it.

-you are still wearing 6-9 month clothing.

-you will do anything to get a hold of a diaper.  You find them so interesting.

-you bring so much peace to our house.

We love you little lady.  So so so much.  You bring us all so much joy.... 

but you are getting big way too fast!  Just stay little forever.

*side note: yes, Beckam did turn 3.  I didn't forget.  We celebrated.  I didn't take pictures, shoot.  He was so sweet.  I am working on his 3 year old pictures.... soon.

Yum.

Don't you just want to eat her all up?

She is pretty much the sweetest thing... ever.

Capri: Month 6 & 7

I cannot believe that 7 months has passed with this little peanut.  She is such a joy and is growing up so quickly.

-you are finally brave enough to sit all on your own.  you still tip yourself over sometimes when you get excited but for the most part you do well.

-you love your baby food.  you haven't found one yet that you don't like.

-you love to squeal all the time.

-you sleep 11-13 hours at night... its a beautiful thing.

-you are totally content to take your naps in the car seat.

-you are complimented on your eyes all the time...they are a beautiful blue.

-you had your second tooth pop through.  

-you chew on everything.

-you can roll but only do so when you are in the mood.

-you love your soft blanket.

-you smack your lips often.

-you love to softly run your fingers through moms hair and just look at it.

-you go with the flow well.

-you love, love, love the pool.  we put you in your floaty and your relax the whole afternoon.

-you hate the big bathtub, go figure.

 -you also turned 6 months old... a month ago.  I was intentionally waiting to post the 6 month pictures until we had you weighed at the doctors.  However, the appointment was pushed back several weeks because of a trip to the ER we had to make with you.  One night you spiked a fever and couldn't stop throwing up.  You quickly became very lethargic and glassy eyed so we rushed you to the ER in the middle of the night.  After many hours, test, prods, and pokes the finally discovered that you had a UTI, you were one sad little baby. 

We did eventually make it to the pediatrician for your 6 month check.

At 6.5 months-

Weight- 16lbs 4oz

Height- 26.5 inches

Head- 43.5 cm

You are such a joy and we are all so thankful for the sweet and calming spirit you bring to our family.  We love you baby girl!

Blessings from Heaven

 Back in February Jared blessed this sweet baby girl of ours, and it was beautiful.

We were lucky enough to be surrounded by all of our family.  We waited until my cute brother, Ryan, came home from his mission so he could be there with us.  We were also then able to enjoy his amazing homecoming talk the next morning.

We went to Utah and were actually able to bless her in my sister-in-law, Marisa's, house on Saturday February 26, 2011.  It was so wonderful to be in Wright's home with family and friends and to watch all the men who love Capri dearly take part in giving her a name and a blessing.  

It was beautiful.

 Little Miss was an absolute angel.  

The blessing was followed by a delicious dinner and lots of chatting and laughing.  It is such a blessing to have this sweet little baby girl in our lives, to have the gospel and the priesthood and to have family that loves us all and each other so much.

Such blessings from Heaven. 

It was so much fun to pick out her blessing dress and all the little "details" to go along with it.  I found her beautiful ivory dress in a little antique shop in Ohio and then her Uma and Papa bought it for her.  It was a joy to plan the blessing and even more wonderful to be there.  

Thank you to all of our family and friends that made the trek to Utah to share in this wonderful occasion with us.  

How lucky

That I get to call these 2 little men mine!

They make my life crazy.

They make my life loud.

They make my life happy.

They make my life.

They are learning {in small steps} to really enjoy each other.  They are definitely brothers and like to "love" each other like brothers {punching, kicking, bugging} but they are really starting to have fun together.

There is nothing like watching your children learn to love each other.

Capri: Month 4 & 5

 Once upon a time there was a little girl named Capri and her mommy was really good about posting about her... until she turned 4 months. {lame, I know!}
