Little Update

Life at the Lunds has changed a bit...

Monday night we left Teagan and Hayden with my Brother and Sister-In-Law while we went to the Jazz game. The game was awesome. We were on the 2nd row, which is about 4-5 rows from the floor. Thank you Scotts for the great tickets. Well, during half-time, we checked on the boys to see how they were doing. Hayden was of course, just fine, while Teagan was complete opposite. I had pumped all day in hopes to supply enough milk for the boy, but he was no fan of the bottle. Again, completely opposite from his brother. My brother called my mom over to rescue them. She was able to calm him down for a short time until after about 5 hours he finally drank 2 oz. of the bottle. We finally left the game with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Ever since then, severe separation anxiety has struck. I had no idea a baby this young could have this.

On Tuesday night I went to the gym and he screamed for 30 minutes straight. Even after Brian tried his infamous vacuum trick. Stinkin vacuum has a short in it!

On Wednesday while trying to shower I always put his bouncer chair in front of the shower so I can check on him every once in awhile. He would scream (tears pouring down his face) scream, until I would open the curtain, then he was fine. This continued several times until I finally got out. Whenever I would leave his sight to get something such as clothes, lotion, socks, etc, he would scream again. All day long this continued.

Last night I tried to workout at my parents with the Wii Fit and after 20 minutes of both parents trying to console him, they brought him to me. What is one to do?

Today is the Day: (Stop reading if you hate potty training posts!)

Hayden has accomplished something pretty neat. On the other hand, I am in for a life change. I have always said that I would wait until longer after the baby was born to potty train him. I didn't want to do it before of during in hopes this would ease him into brotherhood. Well, it's been 3 months and although I wasn't quite ready, he is. It gets pretty bad when he is wanting to change his diaper himself! I have always had him go pee before he gets into the tub and that has gone on since he turned two. I thought it would be an introduction into the whole thing. It has done him some good. I could NOT for the life of me get him to do the big #2 in the toilet though. I even sat him on his toilet in front of the T.V. for awhile without success. Today he told me he wanted to "Go Poo." Wow, of course during Teagan's meal. That poor baby has learned to just deal with the sporadic random feedings. I stayed in the living room however while he did his thing. Pretty soon I hear, "Huh?" Guess he surprised himself. It has finally happened! I was so proud, yet he didn't like the cheering. Oh well. So, I am completely happy for this milestone but I HATE staying home all day. I need at least one outing a day. The other problem, I am completely terrified of germs. I hate public restrooms and anti-bacterial anything has become my new eternal companion. My baby boy is not a baby anymore. It makes me so sad. I will have to keep you posted on the progress.

Wow, don't look now but there is an ugly chick sitting next to Brian. He even has his arm wrapped around her! Don't ask what was wrong with my appearance, or the camera.

The providers of the great game and tickets.

How close we were to the players. They are ginormous.

My cute boy and his cute little bum on the pot. Yeah, thank heavens for the flap, it saved you all from a butt shot.

H-A-Y-D-E-N is his name-O!

Hayden is big into letters right now. He is doing so well learning them and can recognize quite a few. He even has sounds for quite a few of them down and what it stands for. I had taught him awhile ago how to spell his name to the tune of "Bingo" (thanks Somer's for the idea). He will now tell you how to spell it. Again, this video is being recorded while he is trying to watch tv.

Temple Song

That's what Hayden calls it. We were driving by the Oquirrh Temple one night and it was lit up a little bit. When Hayden spotted it he said, " I yove the Temple, I want to go there!" He then started to sing, "I love to See the Temple." Brian and I looked at each other quite surprised that he knew so much of the song. I sing it to him sometimes at night before bed but he told us he learned it at "church dad." My mom also has a little book that playes some songs and that is one of them. This kid can memorize anything! Here is a little video of him singing. He was trying to sing and still watch his "show." What a multi-tasker!

My Valentines!

I have three males for my Valentines this year. I love each of them for several different reasons. Here are my men!

It's hard to imagine life without either of these boys!My main man.
Brian is such a hard worker. He is currently working three jobs and attending school. I don't know how he does is but I admire him for all his hard work, dedication, ambition, and pride he takes in supporting our family. He is a great Dad and Husband and I am so grateful for all he does for us! He teaches me so much about setting goals and dreams and being able to acheive them both. I am also very grateful for his example and Priesthood.
My Middle Man.
Hayden amazes me everyday. He puts a smile on my face everyday and not a day goes by that he doesn't makes me laugh. He comes up with something new everyday and is really a bright kid. He is so sweet and caring about all our feelings. He is so well behaved and quite a mellow kid. He is a very popular toddler and has numerous play-dates a week.My Littlest Man.
Teagan has been a perfect baby. I am so grateful to have Teagan. It took some trials before I was able to get pregnant with him and he is kind of a little miracle. I am so grateful that he is who he is and that he is part of our family. He has brought so much happiness into our home. He is so chill most of the time and I am so glad that he sleeps so well, is a good eater, and is content.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Teagan 2 Months.

My sweet little guy turned two months on the 24th of last month. I took cute pictures and have been waiting till they were all edited to post his pictures. Well, that is taking longer than expected so here the long past overdue post is anyways. Teagan is such a good little guy. He sleeps through the night for about 6 hours straight, sometimes more. He is a great eater and has grown like crazy since he was born. At his 2 month old appointment, his nurse was amazed at his jump in growth. He shot straight up. He weighed 12.8 pounds and was 24.7 inches tall. That was 90th percentile for his weight and 95th for height! His poor little head is in the 25th. I just laughed. I am still positive he will have a big smart brain like his brother. Teagan is a huge smiler and is so close to laughing. I can't wait. He loves to be held and talked to. He is also content doing just about anything. He will lay on a blanket, in his bouncer, in his swing, etc, and still be happy as can be. Most people still haven't heard him cry or make a peep! Teagan still doesn't like a binky or to be swaddled quite as much as Hayden did. I find it so funny how two boys from the same parents can be so different. I love it! Teagan has started to talk a lot too. He has such a sweet little voice that melts my heart. His eyes are still a piercingly handsome blue. He is absolutely perfect to me but I am his mom! Again, I can't believe how fast time is flying by.

This was my very favorite.
