Lollipop Dance by two of my adorable nieces!

It's a Boy!!!

I just realized that I did not ever post this and the next post but had them saved as drafts. So they are out of order and a bit old but fun to look back at.






AJ was born October 15, 2011! He was 7 lb. 5 oz. and 20.5". Our son is such a joy and blessing in our lives already. My mom and dad stayed with us for a few weeks. Now they are staying the remainder of their visit to UT at my mom's parent's in PG (Pleasant Grove). AJ had a perfect first flight to CA with Geoff, Grandpa Lamb, and I. Then we drove a rental out to Northridge to Great Grandpa Lamb's. One thing we love about AJ so far is that he is a happy baby. His half smile and big wide mouth smile both melt my heart. We were glad to have Amanda and Kelsie at Andrew's blessing. Kelsie flew out to Oregon to spend time with Amanda, Adam and the twins so she could help Amanda drive out to UT for Thanksgiving. They decided to come out so they could be here to see AJ before we left for CA. AJ's cousins were all excited to see their new cousin.

AJ ate rice cereal for the first time this week like a champ. YAY! He has had some tummy aches I think from it but swallows it all. We were hoping it would help him to go down for the night earlier and to sleep through the night without his one to two feedings. No such luck yet.
We attended our caucus meeting this week and it was my first time to attend one. AJ has now had a very early experience with politics attending with us at five months old. His Grandpa Lamb did a wonderful job of leading the meeting and everyone was impressed with how well AJ behaved and how cute AJ is.

Christmas to Valentines Day

This was AJ's first Christmas and he was the youngest baby in the family and our ward so he got to be baby Jesus in 3 nativities. These pictures are from the Christensen Christmas nativity.

Here is AJ's first Christmas gifts. Thanks Chase!

In January I celebrated my 29th Birthday. 

I got some very generous gifts and Jonny brought me home some beautiful flowers.

So I joined two of my sister-in-laws in the last year of our 20's. 

AJ was just being his cute self here. He is already 4 months old now. Wow!

This is a priceless shot of AJ and his Dad watching the 

BYU 2011 Basketball DVD Jonny got for Valentine's Day.

When we go to Grandma and Grandpa Lamb's to watch the BYU games

AJ sits on Grandpa's knee and coaches Charles Abouo. ; D

AJ loves playing on this play mat and is constantly spinning around 

on it or pulling the toys until the bar pops out of the connectors. It use to keep his attention for a good 20 minutes or so but now I am constantly having to put the thing back together. I don't mind though because he is just building his abs and arm muscles as he plays.

Speaking of muscles here is AJ sitting up in his boppy.

Here is our fondue Valentine's Day dinner. MMMM! 

Thanks to my in-laws for the china I got for my birthday.

 It made for a very romantic place setting for our meal.

Thank you also to my Love for the single rose I asked for. 

What a perfect centerpiece!!! 

The yummy dove chocolates were also great with our creme brulee.

This was my first attempt at creme and I can't wait to try chocolate.

Thanks Geoff for the ramekins you gave us for a wedding gift. 

I wish I would have been using them before now but now they will

get used more often. :D

Now AJ rocks back and forth so that will be the next thing we get on camera.

AJ at 3 months. Tickled by Dad!
