proceed with caution!

This might be quite the post. I have a lot to cover...It's been some time since I've posted and it also doesn't help that a lot has been happening in our lives. McCoy's growing up so fast and there's so much to update on him. You better be ready to set aside some time to look at this post.  

First things first. We got to go to St. George for Katie's, my cousin, wedding a couple weekends ago. It was so beautiful and another nice break. We also got to make our way down to Las Vagas. We went with Jenn and Jordan and spent a couple days down there before we headed back to Orem. We've been traveling a lot so McCoy hasn't been sleeping very well because he does so well in the car...in other words, he just sleeps the whole time. It's nice but as a result, he doesn't sleep very well at night and hasn't been for the last little while. It's all worth it though and he's getting better. Here's a few pictures of our adventure.

 McCoy loved spending time with Great Grandpa.

We got to spend some time by the pool at the Hotel we stayed at in Vegas. McCoy loved the water. I have a movie at the end of McCoy in the water.

I seriously love this little man. I can't tell you how much I love looking at all our pictures and seeing this adorable little face. He's just so kissable! Look at those chunky cheeks. 

Speaking of chunky cheeks, we finally had McCoy's 4 month appointment with the Dr. He is now 15 lbs 8 oz (50%) and 27 inches long (90%)....crazy how much they grow. This means he has gained over 3 lbs and grown 4 inches. Seems like a lot and the doctor didn't know if they measured him correctly but that's what the measuring tape said...hard to believe but the little man isn't so little anymore. He'll be 5 months in less than a week so we'll have more updated info then. We don't have the internet again so sorry we've been slacking so often. Back to our trip...
New York New York--in Las Vegas
We love taking our naps together. McCoy is such a Cuddle Bug...I absolutely love it! 

McCoy has always loved his bath time. Lately he's been getting big enough to be in the tub all by himself. Since he likes to constantly sit up, or at least try to sit up by crunching his stomach, he usually ends up banging his head on the bottom of the tub. We were at Aunt Kara's house and she let us use Ruby's tub. McCoy absolutely loved it. If you notice, his legs are going crazy. (Link Below)

Lately McCoy has been giving me kisses. It's the cutest thing in the world. as soon as my cheek comes into view he slams his face into mine and starts to either suck on my cheek or talk into it. It's kind of sad but funny at the same time because he will only do it to my cheek and makes a gross face and back away when Trevor tries to do it. I keep telling Trev it's because of he scratchy face and to not take it personally. I had to include a movie of it because it's of course sooooo adorable. (Link Below)

BIG NEWS!!!!!! McCoy finally rolled over! he really actually rolled over. He's done it probably 20 plus times now. When he gets to his stomach he doesn't really know what to do. He'll either roll back over right away, like he does in the movie, or he'll just scream because he really doesn't like tummy time. Here's two movies of him rolling over. Sorry, they are kind of long...don't worry, keep watching, he does eventually roll over. (Links Below)
and 
  Here's the last movie...Trevor has enjoyed all his time with McCoy. He's been so good to take him on walks and keep him on his new schedule that we're experimenting with. He's the best Dad and the best husband. He's always trying to help McCoy grow stronger by doing special tricks with him. He usually does the standing-in-his-hands trick but this movie is what McCoy enjoys the most. Just a fun end to this long post. (Link Below)

Carmel 2010

So we finally got to take a family vacation. We went to Carmel CA with my family. It was so much fun and so beautiful! We left on Thursday night after we put McCoy to sleep. We drove all night and McCoy slept the whole time...it was sooo nice. We stopped at Trev's dad's house and spent the Friday and Friday night there. We celebrated my birthday by going to lunch, dinner and Kim (Trev's step-mom) even took me shopping. I got the special treatment. We finished driving to Carmel on Saturday morning and made a stop to see Trevor's sister, Nicole, for lunch. When we got to Casa Blanca, we met up with all of my family and went out for a birthday dinner. I'm finally 21 :) yeah!!! Sunday and Monday, we enjoyed the beach and spending time with the family. It was so relaxing to just do what we wanted to do. There's a ton of pictures so beware. Enjoy! 
 Emily made this amazing cake for me! it was probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had!
Steele and McCoy had so much fun together. 
Lounging with Daddy

Jill was always the perfect person to get McCoy to laugh. Every time she would play with him this is what McCoy's reaction was... (Link below)
  Trevor's dad has a rock wall in his house and when we were there Trevor said he had to get at least 1 video of me climbing the wall...I wasn't too happy about doing it but it was fun and now I can say I did it. It was pretty fun and McCoy even did it too! 
Rock Wall 
When Trev stays home to take care of McCoy when I'm at work, he always has something to show me. The other day I came home from work he showed me this movie. (Like below).



Yucky, Mom, I do not like this!

So McCoy had a fun time eating rice cereal...not. He reacted with the typical, "What is this in my mouth." But then he started to really dislike it. Every time after that, he gags and shivers as if he is going to throw up. I feel really bad but I have a feeling we are going to have a picky eater on our hands. I've tried giving it to him think, thin, warm, cold, I've even tried mixing apple sauce baby food in it. Anything I try, same reaction. Any suggestions? We'll have to see if the doctor has any ideas as to what we can do to help McCoy eat his solids. Hope you enjoy the movies! (Link Below)
