If only sleeping was this easy...

It always amazes me how easily and no matter what is going on Kota can go to sleep. Even in the most bizarre positions, the other day he was just watching his video and the next time I looked at him he was out. That was only about 3 minuets into his Baby Einstein video. Then I finished nursing him and he was awake when he got finished but when I looked back to burp him he was out. And I love the picture at the end. My mom and I left to the store and left him with grandpa and when we came back they were both out. Either grandpa Miyasaki is really good at putting him to sleep or he is really boring. Either way I'm still trying to figure out how come every time he spends time with him I usually find them both asleep somewhere.

Green Canyon

We went to Green Canyon for a ward party. It was fun other than the pool itself was as hot as a hot tub. It was seriously warmer than Kota's hot tub. I think Kota was trying to figure out why his bath was this weird blue thing and why there were so many people but he just leaned back and chilled. At one point we took him out of his car just to cool him off a little. Then when we put him back in we left his feet out and he used them to play with the steering wheel. We didn't stay in the pool long because I was starting to sweat and I was sure that if it was bothering me then it had to be getting to warm for Kota. I think that we will go swimming again but I hope that it isn't as hot the next time.

What we've been doing.

Kota playing Guitar hero with Kimi.

Kota had his first ride on the 4-wheeler.

It was so cold but he still just smiled away.

His new trick. His toes are now his favorite toy to play with now especially since he can stick them in his mouth.

The result from trying to get to his toes.

Las Vegas

We decided to get away for the New Year. My family (The Miyasaki side) was having new years in Las Vegas and we decided to join in. So Kota got to go on his 1st airplane ride. It was so great cause we got to fly right out of Idaho Falls.

Kota did so great. When the plane started it did startle him a little, but other than that he just played the whole way there.

Here is his face at take off.

Everyone (well almost everyone) dressed up 70's style. We went shopping that day to find our outfits. We usually aren't one's that enjoy dressing up but I have to admit that it was pretty fun and I would definitely do it again.

Aaron, Me, & Kota

Aaron had some really nice tight pants on if you are lucky I'll get him to wear them again.

There were others that dressed up but we didn't get their pictures so sorry anyone that we didn't post.

Here is what Kota was doing at midnight.

Back in the cold of Idaho.

Kota 4 months old

Kota is getting harder and harder to take pictures of. This is one of my favorites. Especially with the drool. I'm pretty sure that he is going to fill out the 12 month old onesie in a couple of months.

Late but not forgoten...

I still can't believe that December was here and gone. Here are some pictures from our christmas.
