Celebrating Easter at the Ulrich home. Little ones were hunting for eggs in the backyard, Troy wasn't much of a "finder" this year so we took a quick family photo!
Troy with his cousins! From left Logan (5 weeks), Carter (20 months), Troy (3 months), Kaylie (3 years, 8 months), Karsen (10 months). We love our family!!
Look at that precious little face!!
Sleeping on his back . . . a very rare occasion, he was exhausted.
We love Troy's smiles, it makes our day!! It's amazing how time is flying. Everyday with our son is a fun, new adventure. He brings us so much joy and happiness. At this point he is napping & sleeping at night pretty well. The time is not consistent, but he is definitely getting some good sleeping stretches of time in both day & night. This past week he has actually started sleeping in his cradle, which he hadn't done up until this point. Though it's kind of ironic he's started now, since it's getting close to the time we'll have him sleep in his crib at night. . . oh well, he sleeps in his crib for nap time! Troy also rolled onto his back for the first time last Friday. He was waking up from his morning nap & when I went in he kept stiffening his body which was making him roll onto his side. Sadly I think it was gas related, but he wasn't too uncomfortable & I was interested to see if he could do it. Within a few minutes he had rolled from his tummy onto his back, it was very exciting, though I'm not sure he'll repeat it anytime soon. We are enjoying Troy's smiles, which we see daily, as well as his cooing. He loves to talk to mom, especially after he's eaten, but is starting to talk lots to others too. He seems to have a lot to say, must take after the Trask side :) Also about 3 weeks ago or so he laughed for the 1st time. He was talking to mom & then it just turned to a laugh, so I started to laugh to encourage it & he kept going, which made me laugh more. Needless to say my cheeks were sore & it was especially fun because dad was home to see it too! Well we are so grateful everyday for our precious little boy, we can't help but love him & think he's the cutest thing ever!!
Little Troy's first "outdoor" activity. We watched his Auntie Jessica's high school softball game against San Dimas (which they won by the way. . . go Colts). Due to the winter season we haven't exactly been outside much except for the occasional "bundled-up" walk around Creekside. It was a fun, warm mini-outing.
Our little hero! Can't pass up posting cute pics, sorry for the overload today!!
So my son has found a new pacifier when the originals don't work for him. Is it a thumb (taking after his mom's early in life bad habit)? Nope it's as many fingers as he can get in his mouth. While I'm grateful he's learning to self-soothe & get himself back to sleep during nap time, kind of an interesting approach if you ask me. :) He started sucking on his fingers a few weeks ago, which was funny because he is so loud when he does. Apparently he's moving on to the whole hand/fist if he can fit it . . . quite the boy thing if you ask me!!
A friend at church snapped this photo with his iphone. Though not really picture taking time I thought it was sweet!
Here is my handsome husband & son! I just love their smiles . . . I'm a lucky girl!!!
Just chilling, I'm a pretty content boy who just loves to move around.
In his snuggly bath towel, he always seems just a little unsure of what's going on after his bath. He likes them much better than he used to, but the "post-bath/lotion-get dressed" ritual is not always his favorite . . . it just depends on the day.
Here I am with Grandma Janet & my cousin Logan. I beat him here by two months, but he likes to sleep almost as much as I do! :)
We both like rocking with Grandpa Bob in his special chair.
I also like to play with my great-grandma Lila!
