It's been awhile...

We haven't been up to much lately but here's a few cute pictures that we have taken. Kota woke up every 2 hours last night so as soon as Aaron left I just let him take over his spot. He's so cute when he sleeps. He looks so much older than 3 months.



Aaron played with Kota until he conked out on Sunday. Aaron even got Kota to laugh for his first time. It is so crazy how they change and grow so fast.


Ellis and Connie gave us this outfit. It is adorable on him.

Kota loves to play with his dad. He is so stiff all the time that he stays straight as a board when you hold him in the air. He loves to fly.

Taking a Stroll

I'm trying to take in as many days that I can before the snow comes down. It's nice to have Liz come over and join us.
I don't think he enjoys being all wrapped up but he just looks so dang cute.
If you can't tell it was a little cold but once we started to walk it felt pretty good.
After we stopped at Grandma June's and of course we had to take picture of the 2 of them. These are the only 2 that we got that they both were looking at the camera. Thank goodness for digital cameras so that we can make sure we get a good one.

Little Farmer


I was so excited that he could fit in this shirt. Even if he is only 2 months and wearing a 3-6 month outfit. It is so cute.

He Getting so Big

We went over to Grandma Sheppard's for a visit and she needed to adjust the the jumper so we thought that we would try it out. His feet could touch and it almost made me cry to see how he could hold his head up and just sit there. It's hard to see him grow up sometimes. I just have to remind myself to take in what he is doing now instead of what he isn't doing. It won't be to long before he actually figures out what the jumper is for.











Kota's Favorite Time of Day

Kota loves bathtime. As soon has he was able to be placed in the water it liked it. Aaron gives him a bath every night. It's great for me to get at least 20 minuets to myself. I usually end up in the bathroom with them cause it is so cute to watch Kota kick and splash all over the place.
We tried to get a video but he was kicking so much that we couldn't keep the wash cloth covering the goods so we decided we shouldn't post it.

Kota's Favorite song

Kota loves the tiny turtle song. I think Aaron likes it too. He is always singing it to Kota and he always gets a smile. It's pretty cute to watch the 2 of them but I walk around with that song in my head all day long. I just hope Aaron learns a new song to sing to him soon.

Riding with Dad

Aaron was in the feild right behind our house so we decided that it was time for his first tractor ride. Kota just acted like it was another day. Nothing to exciting to him. I know next year we won't be able to get him off the tractor with dad.

This is about all he did other than trying to go to sleep.


Aaron couldn't be happier to have his little man on the tractor with him.

Kota's Blessing


I can't believe that this day has come and gone. Kota was so handsome in his suit. There are more pictures of him in his suit from another day. I was planning on getting more pictures after church but we sent him home with the family while I taught my class and when we got home he was already in his sweats. I just couldn't bring my self to change him back into the outfit since it doesn't really stretch. I'm sure he appreciated it too.


Hana finally held Kota. The first day she met him she had a little bit of a territorial issue. She did not like her mom holding her cousin. So it only took 3 days but she finally decided that she could hold him. I think she decided that he wasn't that big of a threat.


Kota and Grandma Sheppard. We went over later that night and he was just so happy. He can melt anyone with that smile. It really makes it more rewarding when you get some sort of thanks.




He's been getting more cuddly. He use to just always want to try and hold his head up as far away from you as he could so he could look around. Lately he will actually lie his head down and just chill. I like that a lot better cause his head is still to wobbly to be moving all over the place.

Halloween

Kota's first Halloween as our little monkey.










Kael and Kota all dressed up together.








Kota made a great monkey. It sure makes Halloween fun to have a little guy to dress up. This was also the first time that Kota met his cousins Mollie and Hana. He didn't even mind Mollie's makeup. He also didn't mind going around trick-or-treating with his cousins even though he stayed in the stroller and slept.






Tough Little Man


Kota had his shots on the 27 th. The whole time he was just happy and smiling for the doctor, then the nurse had to give him his shots and that's when the lower lip came out and the big crocodile tears poured, it was so sad. I was so worried that he was going to be hard to handle for a few days but he was a little fussy in the morning and then fine after that. He's way stronger than his dad.

So So Cute

We though that it would be fun to get a 12 month old oneise and see how long it takes for him to fill it out. We try to take a picture every month. This is the 2nd picture of the series. It's still big but I have a feeling that he will be in it way before he's 12 months old. I just can't get over how dang cut he is.

Kael & Kota



Liz and me took the boys for nice long walk around the green belt. We have to take in has much of this nice weather while we can before it's too cold for the little guys to get out. After we put them on the floor to play and it took us about 20 pictures to get one that would both look at us. They are just way to cute.

Blessing suit


Look how chubby this baby is getting. It is crazy how fast he grew out of clothes. We were taking pictures in his blessing outfit and then he, as usual, puked up all over it. So that was the end of that. We did end up getting some pretty cute ones though.
