Mother's Day/My birthday trip to the beach

Sooo I have to admit turning 37 on Sunday wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. Thanks to Cody, my parents and the boys, I had a wonderful, wonderful day.

Cody was up bright and early to make my bday breakfast...it's times like this where I LOVE being with a chef :) We had stuffed french toast with fresh black berries, extra crispy hashbrowns, scrambled eggs and ham with a few mimosas to wash it all down. Soooo good!

Then we piled all 3 boys, Kaiser and us into the jeep and headed over to South beach for the day. It was our first official family outing since Daylan was born and it was so nice. I had such a wonderful Mother's Day/Birthday. I think 37 is going to be a good year for me.

Grow, grow, Daylan grow!

This is what being a mom is all about!!

His smile melts my heart


All snuggled on daddy's side of the bed

Mmmmmm vanilla milkshake from Hasty Freeze



I took Daylan to the doctor for his 4 1/2 month check up and his second set of shots yesterday. I knew he had been growing so fast because he jumped from size 6 months to size 9 months clothes just since he was at the doctor 4 weeks ago but I had no idea how much he had really grown!

Here is his report card:

Weight: 17 pounds, 9 ounces (90th percentile)


Height: 26 1/4 inches (90th percentile)

Head: 17 3/4 inches (60th percentile)


His neck strength has gotten better since we were at the doctor last time, but she still thinks he's being lazy just because he doesn't like to lay on his tummy. We've been giving him tummy time for at least 20 minutes 3 times a day but he HATES it! He will lay there with all of these super cool light up, musical toys all around him and he just crys :( So now we have to push it up to 30 minutes, 3 times a day...UGH!! Hopefully he will discover tummy time isn't so bad soon!
