one year photo shoot

My baby is growing up!! He's walking every where now it's crazy!! I can't believe how fast he is growing. Here are his stats (since I forgot to put them on earlier.)

Weight: 19.7 lbs = 8th percentile

Height: 29.5 in = 37th percentile

Heard circumference: 18 in = 29th percentile

So he is on the smaller side be he always has been he has been growing on a steady pace so that's good!! I love my little boy I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful son!! He makes my days so much happier! I love being a mother, It's so much fun!! He can now show you where eyes are, what a monkey says and what an elephant says. It's so much fun to watch him learn, we are working on saying please, he has said it a couple of times but I really don't think that he knew that he said it because he wont say it when I ask him to. He is so full of life and so curious, he always wants to know what is going on and he LOVES pushing buttons, and has now racked up $3 on our phones from the internet and bought scrabble on Brandon's phone, we try not to let him play with our phones anymore.

More firsts for Krew

Here are a few things that have happened this month that Krew has done for the first time.

We went to Boise a couple of weeks ago and had an early birthday party for Krew, So that my parents could be apart of it, It was really fun, we had hot dogs and made a Mud cake, we put the mud cake inside of a dump truck and gave it to Krew, He had a blast eating out of a dump truck.

Krew with my Best Friend Heather, Thanks again for coming Heath it was really good to see you.

Krew all of the sudden started giving kisses all of the time. It's so cute. This kid melts my heart!!

Krews FIRST hair cut

Before: The famous mullet

After: He looks so much older

Krew's FIRST tooth

I'm not a big fan of this stage, I was pretty excited that he was getting some teeth finally, but now more are coming in, like they're all going to come all at once and Krew is not very happy about it, I feel so bad for the poor kid, he is having a really hard time sleeping so he's very grumpy a lot I just want these teeth to be out!

He's trying to show off his tooth here.

Krew's FIRST independence day

At the 4th of July parade in Rexburg, it was a lot of fun. We loved this float of the big shopping cart, thought it was hilarious.

Krew with Emma. Our friends Logan and Jenny's baby girl.

Eating macaroni salad with a fork ( which is another first he just barely started liking to feed himself with a utensil)

Watching the Fireworks They were AMAZING!! we were about 20 feet away from where they were lighting them. it was REALLY COOL!! I LOVE fireworks, They were really loud but after a few minutes of watching them Krew fell asleep.

Family picture a few hours before fireworks.

Krews FIRST bubble bath

We have been wanting to do a bubble bath for Krew but just never got bubble's for him. I guess I'm lazy I don't know but we finally got bubbles for him and he LOVED it such a cute happy kid!!

last but not least Krew is WALKING!! It's so fun he so cute when he walks just waddles, He's been taking a few steps for a while now but we could never get it on video and finally we captured it, he's walking a little more now he's getting more and more confident, but since Crawling is so much faster right now he prefers it. He will take a few steps then lower himself down and start crawling.

Krew turns 1

I still can't believe that my baby is already 1 year old!! Holy cow this year went by so fast! I love you so much Krew you are such a happy kid, I love watching you grow and learn new things everyday! I love being your mother I feel so blessed to have such a great kid! We had such a wonderful party to celebrate his birthday. Barton and Emily came over to celebrate with us. We had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of the night.

The happy Birthday boy!!

Krew got some really good presents so fun!!

Krew's First Official Word

If you didn't quite understand it Krew's first word was Tickle! He says is all the time, it's so cute. This video was taken a couple of weeks ago. He also says Bob a lot, so he might have an imaginary friend already!!! Also he has recently started standing for like a minute without falling, and he just giggles the whole time!! It is AWESOME!! His favorite thing to do with mom is to unload the dishes from the dishwasher, AND the cupboards, AND the drawers, AND the closets; it was funny the first... 30 times but now that the kitchen resembles a mine field it aint so much fun!!! Basically a whole lot of "backwards cleaning" as Heidi would call it. Basically he is our everything and we wouldn't trade him for anything.

Week in Post Falls

Last week we went to Post Falls Idaho to go visit Brandons mom. We had a Blast!! My mother in law's Aunt came into town with three of her daughters.

All of us playing Killer bunnies and the quest for the magical carrot, yes it is a geeky game but it's pretty fun. It was really fun playing with all these ladies. Even though we have never met them it was just so natural to laugh and have a good time with them. It was really nice getting to know them.

We went to Coeur d' Alene lake and Krew loved to lean over the d0ck and play in the water. He would get really mad when we pulled him away. We didn't bring his swim suit we didn't think he would want to get in (because it was soooo cold) so we just set him on the beach to get dirty, he really liked that too.

We also rented paddle boats, I had always wanted to ride on one of these I thought it would be soo much fun. It was fun, but HARD man I thought my legs were going to fall off when I was peddling, But it was really fun to be out there, and it was a great experience.

Brandon and Barton with Aunt Grace, She is such a wonderful lady! We were so glad that we got to get to know her, Brandon said it was nice to meet her, he felt like talking to her made him feel like he got to know his Grandpa (Aunt grace is Brandon's mothers Fathers Sister I hope that make sense) Grandpa Zielke died before Brandon was even born.

Here we are on the dinner cruise of Lake Couer d Alene. So fun.

The wonderful ladies, Aunt Grace (Sophia), Kathy (Dorothy), Nan (Blanch), and Jeanine (Rose). We gave them all nick names as if they were the Golden Girls.

The boys with their mom

Us with the cool tree on our picnic

We went swimming and Brandon lifted me up we do this every once in a while just to make sure I am not getting fat and Brandon is still a Macho Man!

We went to a POW Brigg from WWII, We put Krew inside one of the cells.
