4 months!

Here is the latest 4 month picture! I still need to find a 12 picture, picture frame!
I like to start from one month every time : )

One month..

Two months..
(One month to two months is the biggest difference!)

Three months...

And, drum roll...... Four months!!!!



He is just growing up so fast. He is almost 5 months old, and learning new things everyday.
Just a lil list of what he does these days...
I can't even put him down to play on his jungle gym anymore, the second I put him down he rolls over like lightning and then starts starts crying because he hates being on his stomach.. Haha, he is getting a little better about being on his stomach though!
He is also getting into toys now. He has learned how to use his hands to grab things, and then instantly into the mouth. He is still a little shaky but seems like he will be playing like no other in no time!
He sits up with little support!
He watches when Cody or I drink, he knows we are drinking something and opens his mouth and reaches like he wants some. He does the same thing with his bottle (such a nightmare). I'm trying to get him on the bottle so I can go to my brother and sister in law's Bachelorette & Bachelor party/wedding & reception (which is in one month) without being a total boob. Haha, but that's a totally different story in itself!
Anyways, he likes when he sees the bottle and wants it in his mouth, but the second he figures out I'm trying to feed him, all Hell breaks loose... Hopefully soon.. hopefully soon...



It's so fun watching him grow, and see the new things he learns everyday! It's very bittersweet. So cute and happy but a little sad he is growing up so quickly..

Hopefully I'll be back SOON!

Oh P.S. We found out today my sister is pregnant!!!!!!!! Whoooooo! So exited for her and the family! So happy Brody will have a cousin close to his age, let the good times roll! <3

Refugio pt. 2!

We are back and settled at home! We had an amazing time, other than the baby being super fussy from teething, all and all we had an amazing vacation! We hiked, went on bike rides, bbq'd, layed on the beach, went on walks, and even had a family photoshoot. We got there on Sunday night and camped in a spot for 3 nights with Ryan, Chantel, Alexis, Kyle and Jayden. Then on wednesday when the rest of my family and our group of camping friends got there, we swiched to a site with the rest of my family. Yes all 20 of us on one site, haha. It was a little crazy, but everyday in the Magelsen household is crazy! We had huge breakfasts and huge dinners everynight. I gained 5 lbs! Haha. A well worth 5 pounds : )

I talked to a lady camping across from us who has taken her son camping here every year since he was 7 months old. He is now off to college and it was there last camping trip before he leaves home. She came up to me and asked how old Brody was and told me her story and said they were the best summers of her life. I would like to take Brody here every summer , make it a family tradition !

Some of my nieces and nephews had a fun trip also. "Summer lovin" from Grease was our camping anthem this year. Jayden found her new friend Deagon, They are 3 and 4 and they couldn't be separated! Landin who is 7 found a lil 7 year old girl who is family of a family friend and couldn't stop talking about her and following her. He would ride by her campsite and Say "Hottie!" as loud as he could all day. Ha Ha! And then we have my oldest niece Alexis who found a cute little boy down the creek from our site. She was the real reason we sang Summer lovin'. She had her first kiss on the beach! We were callin her Sandy til we found out it was a "real kiss" and then started calling her Frenchie. Haha, Poor thing. She was tormented, and Im sure the rest of her life , every year we go camping she will be known as "Summer lovin".

Here is our family shot! Looks like our 2010 Christmas card : )
I cant wait for next year!
