Kimball is 3 Months Old

This very cute kiddo turned 3 months old this past Wednesday (August 10). 


He doesn't have a pediatrician here in Michigan, so I don't know his stats. But, carrying him around in his car seat is a lot harder than it was a few weeks ago...

Loves:

Smiling at Mommy and Daddy

Watching his big brother

Being carried around in the baby carrier

Just chillin' out

Food

Attention

Being around his family

Being held

Sucking on his fists

Having his hair washed and brushed

Getting his diaper changed

Playing patty-cake 


Aidan playing patty-cake with Kimball

Loves/Hates:

His pacifier

Being swaddled

Staying asleep when we're out and about

Warm baths (mostly loves the afterward)

Having his clothes changed

Being in the car seat


Hates:

Being in the bath (which is weird because he used to LOVE baths)

Tummy time - with a passion

Being left alone for too long

Too much stimulation

Having a wet diaper and wet clothes


Some stats:

No teeth

Still has blue/gray eyes

Drinking 5 oz. every 3-4 hours

Loves being with Mommy and Daddy - doesn't show a preference yet

Almost sleeping all the way through the night - longest I've logged is 11 hours, but it's more like 8 hours right now

Is losing his hair

Smiles a lot and laughs cute, short laughs

Aidan calls him Baby and Bimball

Overall, we've got ourselves a really chill, cute, chubby, wonderful baby. We love you, Kimball.

Four Years

July 31, 2012

Four years since Jayze and I entered the temple and were sealed for time and all eternity.

Since then...

Four moves.

Countless kisses.

Hundreds of movies and games.

Four pet fish.

Four jobs between us.  

Daily hand holding and opening doors.

Three kids.

Lots of love and laughter.

Two college degrees.

Hard work, patience, and forgiveness.

Two zoos.

Many temple trips.

Days of exercise, scripture reading, and goals.

Two cars.

LOTS of prayer. 

One marathon.

One trip to Disneyland.

Thousands of delicious dinners. 

One eternal lifetime to go.  

I love you Jayze Flake. I'll happily marry you every single day.
