Here's the scoop!

"You're as popular and relaxing as vanilla ice cream. You go with the flow, and get along with all sorts of people. You appreciate peace and simplicity, so you sometimes find crowds and loud noises overwhelming. You are a chilled-out, calming influence on the people in your life, and your friends appreciate how supportive and flexible you are."

Along with getting lots of attention and love at the Saumwebers, he also got a lot of help learning how to walk and scoot. If you gave him something to push off of David can scoot around on his tummy. The only problem was getting his little arms out in front of him. But I think he might skip crawling all together and go strait for walking. When you held him up to walk him, he pull his little knees up as high as he could. so cute. We had a great time hanging out with Joe's fam, especially little David. He is going through major with drawls as we leave his on the floor alone a lot more.

Our Thanksgiving vacation in Arkansas was a blast. David picked up quite a few new tricks while we were out there too. One of his new favorites is scratching everything. He loves the noise. He is getting very good with his hands he can grab on it just about anything... now the trick is learning let go!

Trip to the mile high city

We had a great trip over to Colorado a week ago. David and his little cuz Nate Dawg spent lots of time out to lunch together and lounging around the house together. We had to make sure to include the little feet photo for Grandma Jan. We stuck both David and Nate in the same boppy for those photo's. For Halloween we borrowed this adorable pumpkin suit from our neighbors. David's pudgy little cheeks were oozing out of the sides... so cute. We have a great time hanging with Grandma Lisa, Jeff, and the Lisonbees. Emma Camille and Ashley were very helpful with David and really enjoyed making him smile and squeal. He loves patty cake.

Baby Play

Baby loves to play all kinds of games. You must forgive us for the camera flip... we are not used to using the camera as a video.

Daddy Time

Having your first baby means that every little thing they do is the highlight of you day. Joe and I are having so much fun playing with David. He gets more and more interactive. He is so bent on being able to sit-up and stand he will be walking before he ever crawls an inch.

Baby Exercises

David is learning new tricks every day, and as first parents always do we oo and ahh over every little thing. latest tricks include sticking out his tongue, blowing bubbles, and sitting up.

Baby coos and smiles

Hopefully this video works. It's some pretty cute baby footage. After every baby snack we make sure that David gets a few words out. He is talking and smiling so much now. I have even gotten a few ticklish smiles out of him! David also likes to stand up. Of course he wiggles and flops all over the place, but he is really quite strong.

Hiking the Y

We went on a little hike the other day... up to the Y! It really took a lot out of me, but it was really fun. Little David is quiet the outdoors-man. Every time we take him out in the sun, he sprawls out and basks in the warmth.

And then there were three...

David Miles Saumweber was born July 28th at 9:15 am. He weight 8lbs 6oz, and was 21 inches long.

BIG DOG... little dog

We were hoping that Zeus would get along well with our friends little Maltese/poodle, Cosmo. So, Eli and Ashley brought over Cosmo to test things out. They were great and very funny to watch. Cosmo was so hyper and would run circles around Zeus, but as soon as Zeus took a couple big steps he would have him.

Our Dog... Zeus!

Thursday morning Joe and I were looking at dogs online and Joe found this great dane he wanted to check out at the Human Society in Salt Lake. No harm in that Right... well we came home with three year old Zeus that night. He is a 80 lb great dane and a great dog! We when back on Saturday and finished the adoption papers. Zeus loves sleeping, lounging, napping, cuddling, running with Joe, walks with me, and going to the park to play with his ball. He doesn't like cats, he loves people, and is learning to play nice with other dogs.

Our little guy is getting so big!

The Latest pictures of baby David. These were taken on June 2nd. David was so active that day. He was kicking at the ultrasound wand, and in this shot he was opening and closing his little hand that's right by his face. The nurse asked me if he as always this active and I said yup, and more!
