MEMORIAL DAY

We had a fun and eventful Memorial Day.. collin wanted to first visit his Grandpa Hayward's Grave, so we went by there and took a pic of Cy by the grave...Collin was walking around with Cy on his shoulders.. Cy loves to go on Collin's shoulders! I think it's so cute... I used to always make my dad put me on his shoulders when I was young..
Collin had to go to work, so Cy and I went to Papa's (my dad) Ward Barbecue... Mind you, it's a single's ward, so Cy was the only kid there under the age of 18.. haha.. Cy loves being around those kids! They all take turns playing with Cy! My dad and Cy have this thing where ANYTIME they are around a basketball hoop, Cy says "Bakaball" and so my dad has to lift him up so that he can hang on the net... hahaha... I finally got a picture of it with my phone... My poor dad sure gets a workout when Cy is around!! Thanks dad, we love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CY!!... 6-12 months

Cy.. Where do I start? We love you SO MUCH and I KNOW that we are SO BLESSED to have you in our lives!! You are SO SMART, KIND, LOVING and HAPPY!! You won't believe it, but I've learned MORE from you about myself and my abilities to LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY in this past year than I have in my entire life!! A few things you have been doing since 6 months are... eating solids, crawling (we can't keep up with you, you wanna be EVERYWHERE all the time), getting sick (I cried the first time you got sick, it made me so sad to see you so sick, I felt so helpless), clapping (you love to clap whenever anyone else does, you even clap when they are clapping on tv), giving high five, feeding yourself finger foods, throwing things (mostly balls), speaking.. you can say so many words, it's crazy to me, because you try to mimic EVERYTHING! The few words that you can say are.. mama, dada, ball, wow-wow (from wow-wow wubzy), backpack (from Dora), All done, Happy (just recently, because we have been telling you "Happy Birthday"), Ha-u ("come" in Tonagan), Papa, Spongebob (said "Bob-bob"), Bye-Bye, Gampa, Gamma and Joe.. You fake cough when other people cough and you also like to fake laugh when other people laugh... The words you can SIGN are "more" "Ball" "Bath" "Eat" and "All done" - I don't know what else to say, besides WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH and we thank our Heavenly Father EVERYDAY for allowing us to have you in our lives!! Happy Birthday, son. Ofa Lahi Atu!! ~Your mom & Dad....

CY - 6 MONTHS

These were Cy's first "studio" pictures we got taken at 6 months old..He was such a good boy! You are such a handsome little boy and we love you SO MUCH!!  The things you were doing around this age were sitting up, pulling yourself up to things, smiling ALL THE TIME, giving "umas" (kisses), patting a football... you have grown SO MUCH and it makes us so sad, but proud at the same time! ;) 1 day... and counting!!
