1 Month!



Baby Boy hit 1 month this week! Hooray! Here are some of the milestones that have occurred since his birth.

Milestones:
  • As of 3 weeks, can lift his head and hold it there. He has a very strong neck.
  • Is focusing on things more with his eyes, particularly on his mommy's face when being fed and picture frames on the wall.
  • Is growing! He's gained about 3.5 lbs since his birth, which is good since he was at a low birth weight. The double chin he is sporting is quite dashing.
  • Has moved from preemie clothes up to newborn/ 0-3 month clothes.
Favorites Activities: 
  • Eating! All. The. Time.
  • Waving his hands around like he just don't care! (Seriously, don't swaddle this kid's arms or he will FREAK OUT. He really likes his hands by his face.)
  • Hanging out in his bouncer
  • The Great Outdoors. (Meaning taking walks around the neighborhood in his stroller.)
  • Grunting
Dislikes:
  • Getting his diaper changed.
  • The dark. (He always cries when the lights are turned off at night.)
And a Few Tidbits:
  • Favorite type of music - The Blues. He was fussy one night and we came downstairs where his daddy was jamming on the guitar to the blues and he calmed down and listened. He started crying again once daddy stopped.
  • Favorite place he has been to - Grandma's House
  • Least enjoyable place he has been to - The Doctor's Office
  • What he wants to be when he grows up - We are thinking something with night shifts, since he handles those well. Maybe something in the medical field or public service. He's good with people, since everyone loves him. But perhaps a career where you work with people in small doses, since he gets over stimulated easily.
  • Favorite People - Mommy for all the good meals she provides and the great company since we hang out all day and of course Daddy who is already the fun one and likes to reenact The Lion King with him, as seen below.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
