8 and 9 months

Ok so time is flying and with that time flying I am
busy busy busy. I have forgotten to post the last
2 months of my baby boy growing.

On December 20th he hit the 8 month mark.














And on January 20th 9 months.














In the last 2 months he has learned lots.

-He will stand for long amounts of time by himself until
he realizes he is doing it then he will slowly lower
himself to the floor.

-He eats well and has learned to drink out of his
straw stippy cup.

-He always wants to be crawling around or doing something.

-He has learned to sleep through the night really well.
Usually from 10:30pm to 8:30 or 9AM.

-He loves watching other kids and playing with them.
He will just laugh at kids playing sometimes.

-He has chosen roles for me and Matt.
He comes to be if he is tired, sad or hurt to be held.
He goes to Matt if he wants to play and have fun.

-The picture below is showing off this 2 new teeth.



















Milo brings us so much joy and happiness.
We love him so much and feel so lucky to be
his parents.

A born Jazz fan

Milo got to go to his first to Jazz games this week.
Of course he loved them!















On the 29th we flew from Portland to Fresno CA.
Our good friends Mike and Sarah got married in the Fresno
temple on the 30th.

Here is a picture of Matt with most of his close high school friends.




















We also got to spend time with some good friends.
Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of all of them but
we are always excited to spend time with our friends
from Fresno.
On Christmas morning at 10AM we flew
out of Salt Lake to Portland. Matt's parents
live in Vancouver, WA. We spent a few days
there having fun with family.

Christmas Eve and Morning

On Chrismas eve we went with my Mom and siblings to
Temple square to see the lights and made Christmas
inspired Pizza.














On Christmas morning we woke up to find
santa had come to visit and he left fun gifts.

Stanton Family Christmas

We are lucky enough to have lots of family to spend the holiday's with.
On Friday Christmas eve eve we went to my Dad's to have a early Christmas
dinner and open some gifts. Milo got spoiled this Christmas.

A quarter of a century

I guess somehow I missed taking a picture of the 4:47 gift. We had fun celebrating Matt's birthday. With surprise gifts and dinner at PF Changs.

Good Bye Gabe and Mary

Our good friend Gabe got a job in San Francisco, so him and his wife Mary left us :(. They will be greatly missed but we are excited for them and their new adventure in San Francisco.
