Swim swim swim!

Ezra has been in swimming lessons for the past few months and he LOVES it! He does so good under water and loves to splash and kick. I throw a toy away from him in the water and he goes crazy kicking and swimming trying to get to it(of coarse I have my hand under his belly!)...it is so cute, I love to watch him and play with him in the water! He is my little swimming champ!
The under water photographer was at our last lesson so I had to take advantage and get one!

It looks like the Nirvana album cover but I think my baby is way cuter!! (And more Modest:)

9 months old

My sweet little boy is 9 months old!!! I can't believe how fast time goes! We took him to the Doctor yesterday and this is how he weighed in... 19.1 lbs=26%, 28.1 inches long=48% and head is 60%! I can't believe how healthy he has been considering all odds were against him while I was pregnant! Here are just a few of the things WE went through together...30 lbs lost and starvation during pregnancy, multiple medications including narcotics, risky surgeries and procedures done several times during pregnancy, and his 5 week early arrival. Pretty much everything your not supposed to do during pregnancy was done and he had not one problem or complication! He is my little miracle baby! (I didn't have any current pics to post and I found these on Kyle's cousins blog from Kip and Emily's wedding so I had to steal them...Thanks Katie!

Waaaay overdue Christmas post!

I left my camera home on Christmas this year so I had to wait and steal these from my sisters blog. These are what the Whip/Romero clan got for Christmas jammies this year!

Christmas morning at my parents house.
Priceless Anna!!! Nothing like the face of a child on Christmas morning:)

Ezra's first present opening experience, he just wanted to eat the paper!

Temple Square. One night when Kyle was working, I tagged along with Mandy, Shaun and Anna down to see the lights. It was freezing so I had Ez bundled up to the max and he slept almost the whole time we were walking around!

Wolf Creek Colorado

Last week we went on a quick ski trip down to Wolf Creek ski resort in Colorado to meet up with our friends Nic and Cat Dewsnup. It was going to be such a quick trip that we decided to leave Ezra with my sister cause we didn't want to drive 8 hours with a baby, ski, and drive back 8 hours again with a baby(Plus, who really wants to SKI with a baby:)). The whole family was supposed to go but with a few bumps in the road it ended up just being me, Kyle, Patrick(my bro), and Kyle's parents. We left on Tuesday afternoon, skied Wed and Thurs, and drove back Thursday after skiing. Everything was going fine until the drive home... Kyle, Scott(Kyle's Dad) and I somehow caught some kind of stomach bug and all 3 of us were throwing up the whole way home! It was the longest 8 hour drive ever!

This was the first time I had left Ezra for very long and I missed him tons but it was nice to get 2 ski days in without having to worry about him, he had so much fun playing with his cousin Anna! Thanks Mandy, Shaun, and Anna! And thanks for the fun trip Nic and Cat!
