Happy Mothers Day!

I have been looking for a Song that could be Kypton and My song for a LONG time....You know, something that would give us a special bond, and would mean a lot to both of us?

Well I think I finally found it! I found it over at Life is Sweet!

I'm in Love, and what better of a day to find such a special song, then on Mothers Day!

{ Come One, Come All }

Can you believe that my child is ONE?!?!?

I CAN'T!!!

This little boy is ONE SPOILED child!!

Lets just say his Circus Party was a success.

It was so much fun putting it all together, and even though my husband thought i may have gone over board, I LOVED every second of it!

I'm so grateful to have so many people that LOvE and support Kypton, and our family!

Kyptons Birthday was a little bitter sweet for me, I pretty much cried all morning, looking at pictures of when he was born, and of him growing up. I'm so sad that my little baby boy is growing up, but at the same time Its SO FUN!  

Kypton is learning soooo much EVERYDAY, I can't even keep track!

I LOVE that he loves playing with Balls, its like his favorite thing! NOT only to play with them, but he can pretty well watch a WHOLE basketball game, and stay excited about it the whole time! Its the CUTEST thing!!

He has learned to clap, and he pretty much claps at everything.

He gets sooooo excited, he doesn't even know what to do with himself, so he just opens his mouth and sticks out his tongue and slaps the ground as hard has he can.

He makes cute car sounds as he pushes his cars and trucks around, I LOVE that he's all boy!

Kypton LOVES food, he will pretty much eat anything and everything

He doesn't eat baby food really at all anymore.

He is starting to sign a lot of things. . . .More, please, all done, dog, eat, milk.

He can say Mom, Dad and Ball (ba)

He has freak out moments as soon as he sees his bottle. He drops everything and starts to get reeeeaaaaallllly excited, He can hardly wait!

He has 4 teeth, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. I LOVE his Teethy smile, ahhhh it melts my heart.

Especially when I get to wake up to it first thing in the morning. 

I LOOK over at his crib, and hes bouncing up and down soooo excited, and he has his big teethy smile on his face! Oh how I LOVE it!

He just started walking. Easter Sunday.

He's still not very confident, and thinks crawling is soo much faster. We're working on it though!

The cutest thing is when he takes a few steps then stops and claps for himself. I LOVE it.

He wears 18 month clothes, and size 3 diapers.

His shoe size is a 4. 

He is really good about going to bed, all it takes is a story, a prayer and a bottle, and its right to bed.

No problem at all, It really is easy as that!

I LOVE that.

His bed time is 8 to 830ish.

He takes 2 naps during the day. His first nap at 10, and his second nap at 2 or 3ish.

He is really good about going down for naps as well!

Kypton is a BIG climber. He can climb anything, its amazing, and a little scary!

He Loves the "NO" game. (its not a game to me) if I say NO to something he immediatly thinks its a fun game, and does exactly what he's not supposed to. ( so if anybody has any suggestions on this new stage of teaching him good and bad, would be greatly appreciated!)

Kypton keeps me on my toes, but I LOVE every second of being his mommy!

Kypton keeps me on my toes, but I LOVE every second of being his mommy!

He is sooo fun, and i'm sure will only get more fun.

He is discovering new things everyday, and i'm soooo lucky to get to watch him grow from being a little baby to very smart little toddler!

I can't wait for the many more years to come, and many more birthday celebrations!

{ An "AW" Defining Moment }

Last night, I was winding down for bed. . . Watching Oprah (I love Oprah)

On her show there were two different stories about families, One who lost there child, and the other one who's baby needed a Heart Transplant to survive.

I couldn't take it, I started to panic, and think about what I would do in their situation. My heart was breaking!!! I wouldn't survive, if I had to go through something like that!!

I couldn't get it out of my mind, and I couldn't fall asleep!!

I NEEDED to hold my Baby RIGHT NOW!

At that Moment, I didnt care what waking him up would do to the rest of my night!

I went and picked him up out of his crib, carried him over to my bed. I set him in between Zach and I.

At first he was tossing and turning, he couldn't get comfortable, Zach and I were trying to hold in our laughs..... We couldn't!

Kypton popped up, and started laughing with us. Then after a minute, he would lay back down and wrestle around before finding somewhere comfortable to slip back into his sweet slumber. 

Then AGAIN....We would try not to laugh, but couldn't help it! 

Kypton then again, would sit up and smile, and pretend to laugh as if he knew what we were laughing about!

Back again he tried to find a spot to get comfortable, so he could go back to sleep!

I decided this time, it was okay to put him back in his crib, so he could fall asleep.

And I was okay to go to sleep!

I will NEVER take life for granted. 

I get so caught up in the routine of things, of making sure Kypton gets his two naps during the day.

And is in bed By 8. 

And all night trying to stay quiet, Not to wake him!

I made some amazing memories last night. 

Some good Laughs, that I really needed at that moment!

And guess what?? Everything was fine, He slept the rest of the night.

If Ever I need a moment with my son, I won't be afraid to mess up his schedule.

The memories are FAR more important!

One Year Ago Today. . .

I gave Birth to the Most amazing, Special little Boy!!

Today is bitter sweet. I can't believe how fast time flew this past year! I can't believe my baby is ONE!

This past year has changed my life COMPLETELY.....For the better!!

Kypton brings such happiness and Love into our home. A happiness and Love that no one else can give a mom, or dad!

This past year has been the happiest time of my life, but also the most challenging!  A challenge that I have LOVED, and that has taught me more about myself as a Mother and as a wife then anything else!

I have had a spirit in my home, that no one else could bring me! Its amazing how close the Veil is when you have one of Heavenly fathers Infants in your home! I have felt his spirit more then any other time in my life!

I have gained a stronger testimony about eternal families, and also the plan of salvation!

I KNOW Heavenly Father created this PERFECT child just for me!!

I feel a GREATER responsibility to LIVE a Stronger life in the Gospel. I want to please my Heavenly Father, and Raise Kypton in a way that he can have a strong Relationship with his Father in Heaven, and return to live with him!

I LOVE Kypton soo MUCH!  I'm so lucky to be his MOM!

We have a FUN day planned. . . More like a FUN week!

So Lots more Pictures and posts to come!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYPTON!!!!







{ ONCE AGAIN. . . }

I'm SUPER behind. . . 

So i'm going to attempt to catch up as much as I can!

This is Kypton's 11 month Post! EVEN though this picture is for his 1 year pictures, they were really taken when he was 11 months old. So it counts! ( Its just a sneak peak to some other SUPER cute pictures!!)

Kypton is becoming more FUN everyday, I didn't think it was possible, because I already think he is at the cutest age, and the most fun! BUT he learns new things everyday. . . NO KIDDING!

My Favorite NEW thing that he does is "TOUCH DOWN"

He Throws his arms straight up into the air whenever we say TOUCH DOWN, Its the cutest thing!

Another favorite thing is when he says "uh oh" in his language its "oh" and he holds his hand out to the side. He does this whenever he drops something, and he thinks its a FUN game for mommy to pick up whatever he drops! 

Oh yah, and I totally forgot my all time FAVORITE new thing( that he just started doing like 2 hours ago) He gives kisses, NOT ONLY does he give kisses, but he pulls my head to his head with both hands, and kisses my lips or my nose! ahhh.....I've been waiting for this day to come for a LONG time! 

He makes me ONE HAPPY MAMMA!!

I LOVE YOU KYPPER!

More pictures to come. . . .

A Glimpse into our Crazy Week!

My Cute sister in law has put together a lot of way CUTE videos. .. So i thought i would give it a try, with all the pictures from the past week! Its NOT the greatest, but it's something I can always remember, and something Kypton can look back on when he's older!

Kypton 2011 from McKehl Walker on Vimeo.

This past week has been soo CRAZY to say the least! I NEVER expected to be hanging out at primary childrens for a whole week!

It all started Sat. Kypton had gotten a little cold, just a cough and a little runny nose, but he also had a tooth coming in, so I thought it very well could just be him teething! Then Sunday comes arounds. . . He had gotten worse over night! He had a high fever, wasn't acting himself at all. He was really cuddly and really Tired! I told Zach that i thought we should take him in to get checked, and Zach suggested that it was just a cold, to just wait and see how he acted through out all of sunday.  Sunday night, He was SOOO sick! He had a way high Fever, he was super out of it, to the point when he would open his eyes they would just roll back in his head, and he would go back to sleep! He couldn't even stay awake! So I made Zach let me take him in! ( I felt very strongly that I needed him to be seen!) We took him in to the Bountiful Insta Care, and they said he had RSV, they didn't test him, because they would treat it the same either way. So we just passed on getting him tested! They sucked him out with a blue Bulb, and sent us home! Monday came around and he was still way out of it, and way tired. So i took him into his Pediatrition, they Deep throat sucked him out( stuck a small tube down his down, and suctioned out all the mucos) It was so sad as a mom to watch! He looked at me for help, but I couldn't do anything, My heart was BROKEN!  His Oxygen levels were pretty low, but not low enough that they thought he needed to be on oxygen! We made a follow up appt. for Tuesday, so they could see how he was doing after being suctioned. Tuesday He was still sooo sick, WORSE! We had an appt. at 320, but I didn't feel like i could wait that long, so I called to see if i could get in earlier! They fit me in at 120. We made our way up there. They tested his oxygen levels, they were at 87( they're supposed to be at 100, anything under 90 they pretty much put them in the hospital) we decided that he should have a breathing treatment, and also another Deep suction! So they did that, and checked his levels after the treatments.....STILL between 88-92. My doctor really didn't like Kyptons energy level. He wasn't very responsive. She told me that she thought we better take him up to Primary, and that she would call them before hand and let them know we were on our way, so that He WOULDN"T have to WAIT!

We got to primary, they took us right back! They checked his oxygen level. . . 73!! NOT GOOD! that really scared me! At that point I knew it was serious! They did another breathing treatment, and another deep suction, nothing was changing! They put him on Wall Oxygen... .Not working, They finally had to put him on a high flow oxygen, which requires to be up in ICU, so they can keep a good eye on him! The Doctor came in, and told me that they were gonna start an IV to get him hydrated, and that we should prob. plan to stay for a good 3-7 days! I was SHOCKED!! I didn't not expect to have stay there that long, Nor Have Kypton be put in ICU!  It was a very scary experience! Even though it was very emotional for me, and very hard as a mother to watch, I felt VERY comforted through it all! (thanks to all the many prayers)

He only had to be in ICU for 1 day. He was doing a lot better, still not up to par, but better than he had been the last few days! They moved us down to Infant Care. He was still on High flow, but they were slowly turning it down, until they could have him on just Wall Oxygen( wall oxygen only goes up to 2L. of oxygen, and its a mix of room air, the High flow goes up to a level 6, which is where he started) After we moved down, he slowly just kept getting better. . . After MANY Deep throat Suctionings!(which is the hardest thing to watch!)

But I'm sooo glad we finally got to go home! and That Kypton is doing sooo Well! He's a completely different baby! He's soooo happy, and full of energy! I LOVE it!

We were there a Total of 5 days, But the STAFF was amazing! They were soo good to Kypton, and took such great care of him!

Thanks again, for all the Prayers, the text messages, and the calls! They meant a lot!!!
