Short Update

Okay, I am sure we are all already aware of how HORRIBLE of a blogger I am... I mean really, I have not updated this poor lonely little blog since October.  Sigh.  I would make a promise to do better, however, I know that will be a lie as the summer swim season is starting soon and that means I will barely have time to breath let alone blog.  So I am going post some updates starting with Halloween in the next little while before swimming starts and hopefully things will still go in order of actual life... it will just be published after that life already happened :)

In random news, I have to share the best email I have ever been a part of at Tandem Labs.  First some background on the sender; Spencer is a very calm, quiet, steady man who does not show a lot of emotion.  He doesn't often make jokes or participate in any gossip/drama/office politics.  So when we receive something like this from him....

... I literally almost peed my pants laughing!  It made my day.  I had to print it and put it up on the wall of my cubicle so that I can see it everyday and smile :)

Thanks for the laugh Spencer!

Confessions of a Terrible Blogger

I want to be a good blogger... I just don't know how.  I get so caught up in the craziness of my life that I forget to take the time to write it all down.  I know that that is essentially not a bad thing, but I want a record of all the fun things that go on in my life, like a journal but with pictures :)

So, here I am again, updating a couple months at a time, and I hope that I can do them all justice...

Also, we don't really do much in the winter months, so this update will be mostly just pictures.

January 2012

Callum LOVES books!  He loves to look at them and pretend he is reading them, and he steals my books all the time.  He is so funny! And I hope he keeps his love for books as he gets older.

He is so cute in his little Eskimo coat, but he won't wear the gloves because he wants to have access to his fingers...

He is not a big snuggler, so when I can get some, I will take them!

 

This boy sure does love his daddy!  I loves to sit and hang out with Brigham, and he, of course, has his own remote :)

He was not so sure about the Luv Sac

He loves his remote!

His hair is getting so long!  I love it so much, and it is such a pretty color

It is long enough on top that I can do little braids... Brigham doesn't like it much when I do that.  I can't imagine why!

He is really starting to like his toys.  He sat himself in this little corner with his toys and played all by himself

Hanging out with daddy, and more importantly, daddy's phone

He crosses his legs when he sits down all the time; it is so funny

He loves the computer, and his dearest wish is to be able to someday reach that mouse...

 February 2012

Daddy got this grenade from the family white elephant gift exchange, and Callum loves to play with it.  Even though it is not "loaded" I am not sure how I feel about that.... Brigham on the other hand, thinks it is awesome

Eating the chocolate off a strawberry... he is very independent and wants to do everything himself

He will be your best friend forever if you let him play with you mobile electronic device

Sweet sleepy angel

  

March 2012

This is one of the greatest pictures!  See the little morning hair sticking out, plus that amazing pout?  This kid kills me he is so cute

His hair gets longer everyday, and everyday at least one person asks me when we are going to cut it... NEVER!  Haha, well eventually, but not anytime soon.  I am too attached to it :)

This boy is so sweet!  He gives some of the sweetest smiles sometimes and it just melts my heart!  Along with those big blue eyes

Daddy is teaching him how to listen to music with earphones.  He thinks it is the coolest thing ever.  Daddy has also been teaching him to bob his head and fist pump to the music

Callum does not really like to watch TV, but he loves to watch music videos on the computer

He sleeps in the funniest positions sometimes

So Callum has not yet learned the art of self preservation, sooooo daddy was changing him one day and looked away for only a second and Callum rolled right off the changing table on got the BIGGEST goose egg on his forehead.  I felt so bad for him, but mostly for Brigham, because he felt so aweful about it.  Oh well, he was fine, and this is something we will probably have to get used to with a boy whose father is Brigham :)

NOT, however, because Brigham would let him fall off the changing table, but because Brigham was a wild child and I am sure Callum will be very similar

Now that Callum has really gotten the hang of walking, he wants to walk EVERYWHERE!

And of course, Callum loves his Grandpa

And to play with his daddy

Auntie Heather had this cute Jazz hat made for Callum... hopefully I can get him to wear it

Grammie's sink is just the right size for a bath

I would consider myself the luckiest Mom on the planet right now.  Callum is such a good and sweet boy, and he is mostly a pleasure to be around (he is also a tiny terror sometimes).

Everything that we have gone through with this boy is and always will be worth every bit.  He is the love of my life, and I don't know what I ever did without him.   I am so glad that Heavenly Father blessed me so much by sending him down to me, and I strive every day to be the best mommy I can possibly be.  I love you little guy!
