Walking

So up until the past couple days you would only take between four and six steps by yourself before plopping down and crawling where you wanted to go. Now you are walking! Slow and steady but you get where you need to go by walking :) Only 13 1/2 months old, no biggie.

Life is so much fun with the baby!

 A while back during the summer it really rained. Of course we had to go out and play in it. The boys had so much fun and we were all soaked by the time we came in.

 Look at my sleepy boys. 

 More sleepy time. This time David was in mom and dads bed and he fell asleep laying on dad.

 Sunday's are hard with two little boys. This day we spent part of Sacrament meeting out on the Church steps.

 David was a Little Pumpkin for Halloween

 Happy Halloween

 David turned one. We had a dinosaur themed party. We had a great time. I can't believe that my little baby is one. Where does the time go.

 He has eight teeth all the way in and one just popping thru. He has six on the top, two and a half on the bottom. Such a happy baby even when he is teething!

We had a great snow storm here last week. We got close to eight inches. A record for this area. We had so much fun playing out in the snow. We built a snowman. David loved eating the snow. David had so much fun. He didn't complain at all. He even went over and gave Mr Snowman a hug!! We still have snow on the ground a week later.

In the last couple days David has started getting up into standing position on his own and taking a few steps. He lunges toward mom after a few steps. He is the baby that started walking the last of all my babies. David can pack away a lot of food. He eats more than Treyven most days. He has been completely off the bottle for about two months now. He stills likes his binkie. He is such a lovey baby. He hasn't learned how to give kisses but he loves to give hugs and he waves. Mom and dad are so in love with our little Bushar baby!!!!

I can walk!

We have been working with David on walking and standing. He's getting really good at standing on his own and he can lower himself down to the floor as well. Tonight mom was working with him and he took a step all by himself before he sat down. Then the next time he took three steps. Mom didn't get a picture :( Mom hopes that soon David will be cruising all by himself all over the place!

First Birthday Party invite

David Speaks

This morning both the boys were in my room. Treyven was laying on the floor beside my bed and David was on the bed with me. I asked David where Treyven was and he looked over the edge of the bed and said "brother". Of course he said it in his own way and to be sure I asked him a couple more times. Then I had his binkie and he leaned toward me with his mouth open wanting me to put the binki in his mouth I said say please and David said peeese. It was the cutest thing ever. My little guy is smart. I just love him and am having a really hard time believing that he is almost one.

Tongue and Cheek

Just this week David has discovered his tongue and he has discovered his voice. It's the cutest thing, he cooed before and made other noises but know he can control it and he loves to make O's and A's. He loves to blow raspberries and stick his tongue in and out of his mouth. I love it, he gets a huge smile on his face when he starts "talking" to us! We switched him to Similac formula last week and he hasn't tolerated it as well as the Enfamil. I am hoping he will adjust soon. David still sleeps thru the night in the crib :) David is a very happy baby, in the morning when I go to get him out of his crib, even if he has peed thru his diaper and pj's he gives me the biggest smile.
We took him to his 6 month appointment and here are his stats:
Height 27.25 inches 75%
Weigth 16 lbs 7.5 oz 25%
Head 16.4 inches 4%

6 months old

Mom gets so busy and does not take the time to sit down and blog. So major picture overload on the last few posts but not a lot of info about you. So here goes. You had your first Easter, mom did not buy any one new outfits specifically for Easter and she did not take any pictures, what can I say Sundays are super hard. You started physical therapy on May 1st. Lacy your therapist showed us some exercises to work on at home to improve your Hypotonia. She also measured your head and it doesn't meet the requirements for a helmet but hopefully all these exercises will improve your strength so you won't be floppy head on the right side all the time. In early April I stopped breastfeeding. It was so hard with you because I only got six weeks off work and the going back to work and pumping just doesn't work very well. We were already using a lot fo formula so it wasn't a hard switch and it took a huge weight off mom after I stopped feeling guilty. On April 6 you rolled over from front to back for the first time. On the 15th of April you had your second therapy appointment and Lacy said you were already improving so much. On April 29 you sat up all by yourself and you can roll both ways. May 1 you started sleeping thru the night and as of today May 12 you still have been. On May 2 we decided to have you sleep in the big boys room in your crib for the first time. It was Heaven to not have you in mom and dads room and to have you sleeping thru the night. May 11 you had ice cream and rice cereal for the first time. Your six month appointment is coming up this week. You can sit by yourself, you can roll both ways, you sleep thru the night, you love to smile and laugh, you like to sleep on your belly, you don't like the swing so much anymore and you try to get out when you are put in it, you wear size one diapers, you are a happy happy baby. You are wearing three to six month size clothes, you love your brother, you only seem to fuss when you are hungry, tired or need a diaper change. You love to be outside. You are just a good little baby and mom loves you more than she can ever express.

Little Bushar

 Look at him sitting all by himself.

 I found this great idea on PInterest. I took a sheet and safety pinned it to the table and it made a hammock fror the boys. David loved it.

 I don't know what this is dad but I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to eat it.

 Oh yea, this is the stuff. David loves playing with his toes. They are frequently up by his face.

 He fell asleep on the couch.

 Look at me mom sleeping in the crib in the big boy bedroom.

 Saturday May 11, 2013 first time trying vanilla ice cream. I think you liked it.

Saturday May 11, 2013 first time trying rice cereal, not liking it so much. You ending up spitting it all out.

More Instagram and the boys.

 A boy and his bear!

 I just love the little curl and his huge eyes!

 Well aren't you happy :)

 Look at me I can hold my own bottle.

 Mom didn't you know that the drawer is not for toys it's for two little boys!

Going on a walk.

I am so blessed to have these two wonderful boys be mine. They are so sweet (most of the time) and just as cute as can be!

Some pictures from Instagram

 Treyven loves to wrestle with David. We have to watch them close though, sometimes Treyven gets a little rough. I love that Treyven loves to play with his little brother. I am so glad that they are so close in age, I want them to be best buds.

I found matching shirts for the boys at Gymboree on the clearance rack. So of course I had to take pictures of them being all matchy matchy.

Just playing around.

 My little sleeper.

 Poor little fella is getting squished right out of the picture.

More brotherly love.

Random Pictures of David

 I love this picture. I have no idea what was going on when I snapped this one but I love it!!

 David actually looks content while Treyven is holding him.

 Stuffed duckies with ripped necks make great pillows :) I love how happy he is.

My little sleeper.

Easter

 Handsome Little guy dressed for Church one Sunday.

(not Easter)

 We took the boys to an Easter Egg hunt at the Vernon Worthen Park. They had it separated by age groups so the boys were together. Dad helped David find eggs and treats. This is before the hunt started.

 This was after the hunt. David ended up with half a plastic egg and two tootsie rolls. 

Great job little man.

After the hunt in town we drove to Pine Valley to the cabin for the Bushar family egg hunt and lunch. David scored big time at this hunt, candy and money :)

So Far Behind, Picture Overload.

In February we travelled to Oklahoma for Buddy's baptism. It was babies first road trip. It was a long drive and baby did awesome. He slept most of the way there and the way home. We were very lucky.

 Itty Bitty chillin in his car seat on the long drive.

 Moms boss bought David this cute little dinosaur hat :)

 Dad and itty bitty sleeping at Amber's house.

 Itty Bitty all snuggled up on a walk in Oklahoma.

 Danni holding itty bitty.

 The world's best Aunt. It was so great for Amber to meet our little David! We were so very sad to leave. 

 Keith holding David

 Buddy holding David.

Kenneth didn't want to hold the baby.

 The boys sharing the crib. It only lasted for a few minutes as Treyven started loving on David.

 Look at all this cuteness!

 We blessed David on Sunday March 3, 2013.

The people who attended were: Grandma & Grandpa Beasley, Great Grandma Humes, Aunt Crystal, Grandma & Grandpa Bushar, Aunt Deann, Aunt Rachelle, Ryan, Jack, Aunt Alisha, Rodolfo, Michael, Kayley, Uncle Scott Bushar, Selma, Josie, Ellie, Scotti and Bentley.

Dad blessed David. In the blessing he talked about you being a great example to your siblings, to be righteous to go on a mission and get married in the Temple, to have the Spirit with you and the desire to be righteous. 

 David and David after the blessing.

 Brothers :)

 Look at that smile!

 Davids first time in his bouncer. He likes it for short times.

 I LOVE this picture!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

3/13/13

4 month check stats:

Weight: 12 lbs 15 ozs 9%

Length: 25.2 in 52%

Head:15.8 in 5%

At this visit Dr. Walker addressed our concerns with his head. She also talked about his lack of muscle tone. Little David needs to go to Physical Therapy to address his hypotonia and his head. Hopefully his Hypotonia will go away and won't be related to something serious like Muscle Dystrophy. Depending on what his the therapist says he might need to wear a helmet. His poor little head is so flat on the right side and it's not because I'm a bad mom, it has a lot to do with his hypotonia :( Poor little guy.

David still sleeps in the co-sleeper in mom and dads room. He is such a happy baby. He no longer sleeps thru the night. That was very short lived. He usually eats around ten and the again around two and then sometimes he gets up at four to eat and sometimes if we are lucky he will sleep till after 6. So our nights are still really long and we get little sleep. David had a pretty bad cold for a while. The tear ducts on his left eye still haven't opened so that eye gets goupy. David does not like tummy time. He likes to be in his swing with the music and lights on. He gets bug smiles when you talk to him and he has the cutest giggle. He's wearing three to six months clothes and size one diapers. There are so many things that change about him daily and I miss documenting a lot of them because I don't take the time to sit down and blog. I can say that I will try to do better but then I just feel bad when I don't so I will just say that I will get to it when I get to it.
