Enjoy.


Giving Daddy kisses

Getting ready for the bath

Zoo trip

Thursday the 18th was my Daddy's birthday and he took me to the zoo. He even had to DVR K-states first round game in the NCAA tournament to go with me and he did. We had a really great time and we saw a lot of people we knew. We ran into Amy and Blake and hung out with them. We saw Daddy's cousin Natalie and her two boys, We saw mom and dad's friend Kristi with Mara, Ella and Lukas, we saw mommy's friend Christina from work as well as Emily. Well, pretty much Sedgwick County was there. It was Crazy busy, but we still had a good time. Mom said we got a zoo pass so we will be going back. Anyone want to come with us??? Mommy can take one person with her for free.

I miss you daddy

Daddy is in Minneapolis for work and I miss him SOOO much, he is my best friend.

I thought I'd share some of the photo's of dad and I having a good time so he could see them and me from far away.

This is Daddy and me reading up on how the Cats made it to the sweet 16!!! One of the best ways to wake up on a Sunday morning.

This is me and daddy "Watching" the March Madness games to see who the Cats will play on Thursday night - Don't worry Dad I'll watch the game for you and yell whenever Colon is in the game, since you will be on an airplane. Be safe.

Good Night Dad - I love you and can't wait to see you. Oh and mom says hi and hurry home.

My favorite things

Here they are folks - videos of two of my favorite things. My bottle and clocks.

I think mom and dad are missing one though. I LOVE getting ready for my bath. I have asked mom to get a video of this so you can see how cute I am and how funny I think it is and she should be posting it soon. As well.

Mom also has not posted an update on me in a while so here is the quick and dirty on me. I am still growing like a weed. Last they checked mom and dad said I weighed 23.8 pounds. I am riding in style now in my new car seat, which is pretty comfy. I'm wearing 12-18 month clothes, still have my beautiful blue eyes, and my birthmom's nose. I am giving kisses now which must be pretty adorable because mom and dad keep asking for them, but really all I'm doing is licking their faces. Oh, well it makes them happy I guess I'll keep doing it. I do not have any teeth yet. I love food, mom and dad haven't ventured much on table foods yet, but I may have tried every level two food out there. The next level is marked for crawlers and I, well, I refuse to do that. Mom keeps trying to teach me how and I keep letting her know how much I protest that. Mom even said that she has worked with a lot of kids on learning to crawl and I throw a better fit then some of her 3rd and 4th graders. I figure if I can roll and get anywhere I want then why crawl, plus my big old belly keeps getting in my way. Well, that's the gist of what is up with me, I'm just an overall happy baby who keeps on growing.

Oh, I did go to the doctor a week ago for this funny rash looking area around my eye and found out I have ceberiah dermatitis. (I'm sure I spelt that wrong) it is just a rash that will go away in approx. 2 months. They can't give me anything for it since it is by my eye either. The nice lady said that it is just something kids can get, nothing caused it and there was nothing to do to prevent it. It doesn't seem to bother me so I'll just keep on trucking :)

Ok, now really here are the videos:

BOTTLE

CLOCK

just because

I like my saucer!

See I'm a big boy


I won't crawl or get teeth, but I will stand at the furniture. This is actually my 8 month photo.

I have approx. 4 more post ready to go. Some really cute videos as promised of me with my bottle and clocks, a video of me giving kisses and getting ready for the bath. A slide show of my trip to the zoo. And the newest from this morning. A cute picture of Daddy and I reading in bed on the computer about how K-state made it to the sweet 16 and KU did not. Mommy said she won another competition at work (or bet) she made a bet with a guy at work, whoever's team (KU or K-state) made it farther in the tourney they other one had to wear their teams shirt. Mommy agreed, but said she would have to borrow a KU shirt, if she lost, as she refused to buy one. Now you all know what happened mommy paid UNI to win so she didn't have to wear a KU shirt.

grandma movie night

Grandma Cheryl had all the grandkids over for a movie!!! First we had to read the book of the movie. Can you tell what it was? Where the Wild Things Are

This is me with all my cousins. Now I just have to wait for Aunt Rhonda to have hers. (come on May)

Mariah's baptism

My newest cousin was baptised last weekend and my mom and dad are her godparents. Here are some pictures from the blessed event. I, personally, sat with my uncle Todd during the baptism blowing rasberries with my cousin Hunter the whole time :)

To big?

Is your 8 month old to big for a bottle if he can palm it?

Don't you love my shirt. It is a hand me down from my mom's adaptive physical education teacher at school. I just love it (so does my mom)

Go Cats

Mom and Dad are so excited for the big game tonight.

K-state is playing KU in the big twelve championship game in 2 hours. YEAH.

Funny - my mommy won her weight loss challenge at work yesterday and has been eating non-stop since. She is eating all the things she hasnt been since Christmas. At lunch mom was telling dad that what she really wanted was a chocolate milk from school. Dad told her that wasn't possible and mommy said she would just call her cousin Larry who delivers the milk to her school and see if he could hook her up.

Daddy then proceeded to tell her that on this day and this day alone she was not allowed to call cousin Larry (he is a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, KU fan.)

That is our funny story for today. At least as of now.

Mom also asked me to give you a heads up she is working on a fun post of video's of me and my reactions to my two favorite things right now.

1) my bottle
2) clocks - yes that is any clock, anywhere, any time. I love clocks.

random events/prayer update

Prayer update first - Blake and mommy's student are both home from the hospital now and doing much better. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

prayer request update #2

Well, mommy is up at the hospital now with Blake and said he is doing ok. While he is awake he is off of all oxygen and doing well, but he still needs it when he is asleep. Prayers seem to be doing their job, keep it up. The doctor thinks he may get to go home tomorrow.

Mommy's student on the other hand, she got a text an hour or so ago and her student is back in the hospital. :( She doesn't know much more than that, but after Blakes mommy gets back she is going to go visit her again.

Please keep praying.

prayer request update

Well, my cousin Cheeks is still in the hospital. I haven't talked to him or aunt Amy this morning because I didn't want to wake them up if they happened to be asleep, but last night before they went to bed, cheeks was not on any oxygen, YEAH!!! We are hoping they had a great night. I'm sure they did though because one of mommies student's mom's was his nurse last night.

Speaking of mommy's students. Her student got out of the hospital yesterday and should be back to school Monday. She is doing pretty good, just tired.

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes.

prayers

Hello,

We are wanting to ask for prayers for my cousin Cheeks (aka: Blake) as he was admitted into the hospital today with oxygen levels at 84. He is at St. Francis and doing ok. He is maintaining his oxygen at 94, but that with his oxygen set at 2. We are hoping he can go home tomorrow, but don't know.

Also, one of mommy's students had to go to the hospital today with either pneumonia or RSV. Please pray for her as well.

Mommy didn't brave it and go to the hospital tonight because she said she couldn't chance bringing the yuckies back to me.

Anyway, please pray for them,
Jaren,

Oh and mom posted some really cute pictures of me this morning so don't forget to look at those too.
