APPROVED!! to be a big boy!

APPROVED!! Just like drive time.

He has been approved for soilds. YEAH!!! so we are starting rice ceral, single grain. (I"m excited to make sure he sleeps more soundly through the night. Also all is good on the check up.

Height = 27 1/4 inches long - 78%

Weight = 17# 2oz - 44%

Head = 17 Inches around - 34%

So our percentiles are evening out. so I"m thinking that this is the last time he'll be under 50% in the weight catigory. any way I get to feed him more that just milk now.

The laughter begins

The Laughter is crazy, it almost sounds like he is crying. Mark is the camera man and the comedian. (I was not around at the begining of the videoing. (so the camera-man isn't the best).

5 1/2 month old's trek to the Kitchen.

So Jared is 5 1/2 months old and he has made his first trek to the Kitchen from the front room. Dad got it in 2 videos and 3 pictures. So I hope this works.

Jared is leaving the security of his blanket, getting ready to venture out on his own. Mark talks very quiet in the camera, i guess that is cause Jared is either camera shy or doesn't work well under preassure.

The pictures are of Jared trying to get around the wall.

You have to admit, this is a funny picture. He has face planted the wall. (I hope we don't have lead paint, cause Jared is sucking the paint off the walls. he he ha ha ha!

He's workin' it. Go Jared! Way to start to get distance between your face and the wall. lol!!

This is Jared Making it around the wall. You can finally see space between his face and the wall.

And this is the finale video of Jared finally making it into the kitchen. you notice he is trying to sit-up, also thinking about rolling over, but that wall is a challange.

Now remember, we hit walls in our life. Some literally others emotionally or psychologically; but Just as Jared figured it out, We will do so also. Good luck and don't forget you have a Father watching you Just as Mark was watching Jared; complete and accomplish the Wall Challenge.

Keep Rockin' and Rollin'

So here are somemore videos of Jared accomplishing his rolling, with a little bit of rocking.

more rockin' & rollin'.

Here is What Mark is saying in case you can't hear it.

"It's Jared, Doin' such a good job."

"He's been trying to figure out how to crawl."

"Look At Him!"

This one, Mark in on Video and Julz is on Audio.

The translation of my excited screams is,

" Oh My Gosh Jared, I'm So Excited!!"

So I was looking through the camera videos. (it's a good thing I do, cause Mark didn't tell me about this one.) But Mark is introducing Jared to the camera. Jared acctually smiles at the camera and once again I'll write a script for you to read as mark is talking.

"He's chewin' on his burp rag."

"Hey Jared!"

"Jared." *Whistle*

"Jared." *Not audible*

"Jared, hey Jared." *Not audible*

"That's the Baby Jared!"

And we all have to love the Mama Videos. Turn your volume down, cause i'm talking in this one. lol, He he he ha ha ha!

First video post.

So Don't forget to PAUSE the music jukebox at the verry bottom of the blog page.

So here is the video that's long over due for a posting. it is Jared rolling over in 54 sec. I'm a little excited in both clips, i'm sorry.

Please don't forget to leave a comment as to if you can or can't see the video (s). thank you.

Improvements.

So our little man is sitting up now. well you have to put him in the sitting position and he wil remain sitting. Also we have a new sitting toy that is totally kewl (cool). We bought it from our business.

SECURE!!

So We officially have givin' into the MESA WAY and have an active security alarm system. I'm not gonna go into details. but we got the system on Tuesday and that was the best nights sleep i've had all week. The sales representative/Installer has been very nice and informative and understanding.

oh, to get a security system we have to have a phone line so we now have a home phone number. (no voicemail yet),

but you can reach us at (480) 659-2493.

well it's time to get another good nights sleep.

Paranoid

So it finally happened to us. we didn't get our security system hooked up when we first moved in, and we've been stalling on the gate as well.

So I'll get to the point. Sunday night (father's day) Mark, Jared and I went up north to visit my parents and on tuesday evening when we got home we noticed that things were a little different. YES, we were broke into. someone had broke into our home while we were all away. (so noone was harmed just our sense of security). So i've been on the phone non-stop (i'm officially sick of talking on the phone).

We think it was just bored Junior High School kids. They took electronics that we could live without: they took a 1) gamecube and 3 games, 2) a dinosaur old labtop (the battery doesn't hold a charge and the touchpad mouse was on the fritz). they only thing that ment anything to us our 3) USB jump drives and a SD card for a digital camera-but everything on the USB and SD card was on the desktop computer.

So they smashed the Master bedroom window and that is how they got in. here are some pictures.

so this is the den's window only the outside pane of the double pane window is broken on the left side.

This is the Master bedroom window, don't know if you notice the left side of the window, but that is how they got in.

Sob and Cry, but I guess it happens

well It finally happened on his 4 month aniversary I cut his left thumb with the clippers. He was awake and I had the right hand completely done and was trying to tune up the thumb on the left hand and he moved, and I got him. but i'm not the only sinner, Mark (dad) was trying to clam Jared down from being fussy on tuesday and Mark swooped Jared down and hit Jared's Head on the Coffee table (causing him to cry a little more) but mark was a good daddy and hugged and calmmed Jared down no bump no redness and today I can't even tell where he was hit.

We've gotta tough kid. here's a picture of his cut thumb.

Photos finally in.

So we finally go the photos. and here are a few of them.

all taken on May 13, 2009 with Jared at 12 weeks just 5 days shy of 3 Months old.

Our WANTED little man. (for stealing mommy and daddy's hearts).

Our little happy naked thinker.

The big photo on the Left = The words next to the hands and arms are "We will always be there for you."

The three photos on the Right = Top photo - Dad and Jared. Middle Photo - the word LOVE with Jared's feet as the V. Bottom photo - Mom and Jared.

K, don't know if you see all five photos. there are two silouette photos -one of dad and Jared the top one, and one of mom and Jared the bottom one.

IF you look real close there is a drip of drool sliding off his bottom lip. it is one of our favorites.

Sleeper improvements!!

So Jared went to sleep last night around 9:30pm and He didn't wake up for his usual 2-3 am feeding. (bu outta sure repatition, I woke up at 2:30am ut Jared didn't wake up till 5:30 am. it was a solid night. I'm so proud of our little -BIG sleeper.

this is not a picture of him, i can't get a picture this good of him sleeping.

SWIMMING anyone?

So I can't wait till tomorrow to post this. I've gotta post it now.

So, Jared got to go swimming for the first time, last night in a friends pool. Sorry about the lighting, we got there after 8pm. Jared was doing fantastic. (i'll be getting better pics of him from a friend of ours who has a flash on their camera phone.). at one point he was holding his shorts up on his leg so they wouldn't get wet. lol. it was cute.

Ok, Dad is officially a Dad. So i'm talking with another couple that had their 7 month old in the pool also, and Mark had Jared. I see Mark blowing in Jared's Face, I'm puzzled at first and Than I Realize "Mark is trying to get Jared to inhale and hold his breath to dunk him. Oh, My Gosh.

Just S I'm about to say something, Jared goes under. It was just a quick dunk (less than a mill-a-second), but it was a dunk all in the same. So Jared comes up and does a little cough to clear the throat and a sneeze to clear the nose. No crying, No fussing. We were in there a good amount of time also. so we got out when I noticed Jared doing the "I'm chilled" shake. only cause we weren't moving.

So while warming him up with the towel he feel asleep wrapped up in the towels, still in his swimmer diaper and in his swim trunks. No binki, He just passed out. It was funny yet cute all at the same time. Now a few pics.

So this is a photo of how dark it was without the flash. Good luck making out the picture. (my husband was taking the pictures.

This is a Photo of Jared Holding up his shorts so they don't get wet. it was really cute.

Jared Sitting on a step in the pool. The first time I sat him down He straighten the legs and just about stood completely up. so we let him adjust and he soon relaxed.

Gangsta' Man.

so when we walked outta the movie and go to the car. ( I failed to mention it was a 3D movie. ) I looked into the storller to find Jared in this super-fantastic pose. gabbing the belt and looking at us like we got nothin' on him. lol, it was great. oh, and for those of you with kids. UP 3D was awesome and I would go watch it again. and those with really young kids like Jared. The sound effects weren't too loud for the little ears. I was comfortable with the volume.

UP!!

UP! The first movie Jared has been to.

Jared's First Movie. It was good and so was he. He was staring at the screen for half the movie, grabbing onto my cup. It was so adorable, (there were other kids and two other babies in the theatre with us.) he kinda fussed a little, half way through, so we stood up in the walkway and he fell asleep. nice little man, He is awesome. Mark even helped on holding Jared on his lap for a while. The movie is a PIXAR so go figure that they have to have the heart wrenching part. we both enjoyed the movie.

Here's a few pictures of my favorite 4 characters.

What we got

(with mark doing his asking for a few extra photos)
we got ...
2- 10x13's
4- 8x10's (only 2 originally)
13- 5x7's
4 sheets of wallets (only 3 sheets originally)
and a CD with all the photos & the copywrite to keep producing more. so we aren't illegal. lol.

PHOTOS

So we've just spent a roll of money on Prossional photos for Jared. I guess we have the right to, he is our first. so here in a few weeks, i'll have a ton of photos to post everywhere. you will probably be so aggrivated with all the photos. I thought this was a really good photo. lol!

We've Seen It!!

well due to the last post, we have both seen Baby Jared Roll Over. YEAH!!! So we had missed the first three, but Mark caught the 4th one and I caught the 5th one. we're so excited. also he is trying to reach for toys a little more, but ends up just pushing the toys further away from him. lol.

Keep ROLLIN', ROLLIN', ROLLIN'

ok, well Last Sunday and today, Jared has changed postion on us with noone ADMITTING to helping him. Well I put Jared to sleep on his back for a nap, and he somehow rolled onto his side and then onto his tummy. (he struggled with the arm that he was laying on.) and he did that twice.

And today Mark was making Jared do tummy time and he was fussing a little and we both looked away (real quick) and mark looked back down and exclaimed, "He Just rolled over." I look down and low-and-behold he was laying on his back. So Mark (the genius) pushes Jared back on his tummy and we both say, "Do it again, we didn't see it." lol.

I failed to mention - He hasn't rolled over in view of anyone yet.

3 Months-12 Weeks

so by date wise he's not quite 3 months old yet. but by weeks he is 12 weeks as of yesterday (Wed.). He is so long and so big. I weighed him on Friday, and he weighed 14# 7oz, with an empty diaper. so a solid 14# 5oz. he's a big boy. still over two foot long. fighting the sleep and filling the diapers. well Jared has about 3 words that he says, but not on a conscience level. they are "momma", "uh-oh", and "hi". also we have heard him say "hungry" once. So he's teaching us how to talk 'baby' talk.

2 Month visit

So we went to the Pediatrician on Tues. April, 28 and we got the numbers. Jared is 10 weeks old today. but the numbers are...

Height: 24 1/4 inches long = 81%

Weight: 13#(lbs) 4 oz = 73%

Head Circumfrence: 15.5 inches = 27%

Well here is a pic of the little-big guy totally passed out (the day after he got his 2 month shots)

:(( very sad face. it is funny though how spread eagle he is during his sleep. (after a day of crying he better be passed out).
