Summer 2014

Our summer was great! It went by quick, but we had a lot of fun. Hyde love being outside, so we went on a lot of adventures and spent many days at the pool! It was definitely the best summer yet. The pictures describe it better than words.

Random frog living in our backyard.

We got a new car!

 Hyde loves cleaning. He's obsessed with sweeping.

His first big owie.

We drove from North Salt Lake to Parma (made a quick stop in Oregon) and then to Bear Lake all it one day.

My family's tradition on our annual Bear Lake trip is to make t-shirts.
This year we did stencils and sprayed bleach on them.
Mine and Taegan's didn't work out.

Hyde's 1st Birthday!

Hyde is obsessed with balls, OBSESSED! So what better theme to use for his first birthday party? We went with bright colors and all things ball shaped! It was a fun day spent with all the people who love Hyde the most! (All 60ish of them) He's a lucky boy to have so many great people in his life! We had a lot of help from family and friends, and I'm grateful for them all! I still can't believe my baby is ONE!!

On Hyde's actual birthday, we started off with sprinkle pancakes! We then spent some time at the zoo before he had to go get his 12 month shots. And the day was finished off with pizza, presents, and cake!

He's turning into a little fish, he loves his swimming lessons!
He is still such a screamer, it's so funny.
He loves bath time, that's usually when he is most talkative.

He loves avocados, watermelon, and eggs. (and anything we are eating)
He's started loving to play with cars, he'll push them all around the house.
Balls are still one of his favorites.
He loves books right now, especially ones with flaps.
He's really good at saying "more".
He's obsessed with bottled water, lots of "more" and "mmm" when he's drinking out of them. He also loves playing with empty ones.
He's really into putting lids on things or putting smaller items in larger items.

He's gotten super sensitive to any disiplinary tone. 
And he's becoming more and more of a mama's boy!

Says "dad" and knows who Dad is.
Says "mama", "ca" (car), and his own version of "all done"
Makes up his own jibberish
Still so busy! He's loving trying to take things off the table and counter! Yep, he can reach the counter.

STILL working on his top teeth.
He's so over baby food. It's basically what we're eating, or nothing. He's really good at pushing your hand away or throwing food he doesn't want.
He gives the best loves! He's the sweetest
His hair is coming in so much, and he still has his rooster tail
He gets up on his knees a lot, and then puts one foot out, like he is going to stand up, but still not very sturdy on his own
He is obsessed with being outside. He could stay out there allllll day. And he loves cars! Anytime one drives by he gets so excited.
He's dancing, clapping, and pointing. He learned "so big" (puts his hands up in the air)
He mimicks everything
And he knows when he isn't supposed to do something. He'll look at us and smile/laugh, then hurry and do it anyway. Or jump when we say his name.
Kids/babies are still one of his favorite things.
And one of his favorite toys right now is our little fire safe. He loves grabbing the keys and trying to put them in the lock. (Literally like 30 minutes of entertainment for him)
He started swim lessons! And loves it.
He's doing a lot better with independent play
