Durham 3 Month Update

Hello My Bondbeautys,

Today I wanted to do my sons three month update! I can’t believe he is getting so big it is so crazy!

Durham Is doing some amazing things now! I have been trying to have Durham spend alot of time on his tummy! So he is awesome at tummy time, he will play on his tummy now and grab toys. He has even started really scooting back ! Its crazy he is also really starting to show his personality. He is smiling all the time if you just make eye contact he smiles. I can tell he is going to be so social because he is also talking like crazy!

Hyrum is doing so good with his little brother I am really impressed with how well they get along. Now that Durham is starting to play and starting to even sit in his Bumbo seat , Hyrum is getting so excited !

Durham has also been sleeping so great. Here is his schedule if you are curious!

Schedule:

6Am Wakes up & Nurses
7AM -8AM He alternates playing on his tummy, in his play mat
8AM-9Am plays in his bouncer & watches a little movie
9AM -Nurses
10Am -nap
11:30-12:30 Pm -Wakes up & plays in his bumbo or on his tummy
12:30- Nurses
1Pm-3:00 – nap
3:00 Wakes up & Plays with his toy in my lap or we sing songs
5:00- Last Nap for hr or thirty min
6:00-8:00- Plays with mommy & daddy or we go on a walk , Hold him and snuggle (try to keep him awake)
7:30 Nurses & bath time (not every night )
8:00 : Goes to bed for the night
4AM – Feeds

So he has been going to sleep on his own. I just lay him in the crib while he is awake (which I have done since he was a newborn) and he falls asleep on his own. Which is great because then he doesnt ever need to ” cry it out” or anything he sleeps in his crib on his own! Dont get me wrong it was hard because when they are newborns mommy is tired and its so much easier to just lay him in the bed with me. But I decided that no matter what I was going to lay him in his crib even if I was up every hour patting him or sticking his binki in his mouth. Finally at about 2 months he slept in their on his own and didn’t wake up! So if your a new mom trying hard to teach your baby to sleep in the crib don’t worry stay at it , it will one day just happen! I never let Durham cry for more than a couple min!

I am so proud of how well he is doing and how big he is getting! The doctor says he is in the 90th percentile for his weight and height which is amazing!

He is such a happy good baby I am so happy with this little guy.

Let me know what kind of things you want me to tell you guys about in these type of blog posts!?

Meet My Baby Durham

4 / 6 / 155 / 24 / 16

Hello My Bondbeautys,

Today is the perfect day to do a meet my baby blog post. It has been now 3 months and Durham has grown so big!

Durham was born on January 6 2015 He weight 8 lbs 14 ounces! Yes he was a really big baby, he was actually born on my due date which is pretty cool. His big brother Hyrum was born two weeks early so you can imagine my surprise that I made it full term.

So Durham is three months old now & am so glad that Hyrum is doing so good with him. Hyrum surprised me by absolutely adoring Durham since the very beginning ! I thought for sure he would get jealous but no he loves him to death.

Let me tell you I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect baby! Durham is so quiet and just chill. He will just sit there and look around and watch , no fuss! He also now could be wide awake but when it hits 8 o clock I lay him in his crib and he falls right to sleep all on his own! It is absolutely amazing how wonderful he is. I can see the difference in personality between Hyrum & Durham, Hyrum is so silly and Durham is so layed back.

Im so excited for all of our future adventures with these two boys!

Dont forget beauty comes from within so let yours shine!

Till Next Time

Gender Reveal Party

11 / 24 / 145 / 24 / 16

Hello My Bondbeautys,

So today I wanted to share with you a Special Event, My Gender reveal party!

Since this is baby number two I wanted to keep the gender a secret and do a gender reveal instead of a baby shower. So I kept it a secret from my family and friends and finally got around to doing a barbecue / gender reveal party. So we made hotdogs and had blue and pink cupcakes. We also had pink lemonade and blue punch. we had fruit as well.

I made the invitation all myself on pic monkey just in case you were wondering. I also made picture props so that everyone could cast there vote of what they thought baby would be before we revealed it.

Here are all the fun pictures we did…

Then We went ahead and did a big family picture and made it semi funny…

Then we went ahead and let the kids hit a piñata to reveal the gender, the candy inside was blue so it is a BOY! For some reason I don’t have the pictures of them actually hitting the piñata sorry guys but here is our last family pic and obviously everyone and their mother thought it was going to be a girl!

We also did little prizes for those who guessed right! They were simple boy toys we got from the dollar store!

After we ate and we revealed the gender we all had a water balloon fight. It was so fun watching all the kids going crazy!

Gender Reveal was such a fun thing to do specially the pictures. I am going to put the pictures in Durhams Baby book that way he can see who thought he was going to be a girl or boy..

Remember, Beauty comes from within so let it shine!

The Hike of DEATH

2 / 28 / 14

Hello Ladies,

So today I thought I would take a little break from makeup & do a Vlog/blog about my day.. So my husband and I went on a hike . I call it the hike of death because it was scary/hard for me. I haven’t really worked out in a little while so I was out of breath fast. So do you want to see how fun & scary my day was…

We started our day , by hiking. We planned to get up and hike at seven a.m. but we ended up not going till nine. This is the second hike we have taken Hyrum on. He is eleven months and so we had to put him in a backpack, they actually have hiking backpacks you can carry kids in. It ended up being really fun , Hyrum enjoyed it and I loved getting to spend time with my hubby.

Hiking is such a good exercise especially for those who hate running , like myself, because it burns just as much calories. After we hiked we decided to make pita type of greek food which was delicious. We grilled onions, pepper & steak it was really delicious. I also made some delicious chocolate strawberries. Have you been to Sams Club lately? They have some amazing looking strawberries right now!! They are huge , juicy, sweet & so delicious.

At the end of the day we were all pretty tired & ready for bed. The funny thing is that we were ready for bed by 5pm. I didn’t realize how much the sun soaks up all your energy! Anyways I hope you enjoyed the Vlog I filmed for you guys!

Till Next time,

Remember Beauty Comes from within So let it shine!

Baby,Party , Utah & Update

2 / 26 / 14

Hello ladies,

Happy wednesday, since I have been gone for a week I thought I would do an update video/blog post. I want you guys to get to know me a little better & thought you might like to know about whats going on in my life. So you can watch my update or read it , its up to you..

So the reason I have been gone is because we unexpectantly had to go to Utah for a funeral. So we drove so it is a total of 10 hrs if you have no stops and drive all the way thru. Well with my almost 1 year old that was not going to happen. So we drove half way and stopped in Vegas. Then the next day we drove the rest of the way. Let me tell you traveling with a baby is not fun! It was nice to spend time with family and have a little break from our daily responsibilities.

So like I said Hyrum is almost 1 years old! It is so crazy that it has been a year already. He turns 1 on March 24th. So I was thinking of having a birthday party for him. Now , I have received a lot of opinions about this. Some say that he won’t remember it so don’t waste my time. Others say that it is worth it because I will remember it & enjoy the pictures in the future. I am thinking I want to do it for sure. So recently I have been thinking of cute boy themes, all I came up with so far is Monster theme. Do you guys have any cute theme Ideas?

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to my youtube, blog & etc. I really do notice & appreciate the support and love you guys give me. Thank you to all who like my Facebook page , follow me on twitter & instagram. Its so great to connect with you guys and get to know each of you. I hope you guys like these sort of chit chat update blog/videos. If you have an future suggestions or questions make sure you comment down bellow. I have been thinking of doing a Q& A video so comment my video and ask me a question if you want me to do a video like that.
