10 Months!

Happy 10 months!


Milestones
  • He now plays peek-a-boo where he will hold a blanket up to his face and pull it down, waiting for our reactions.
  • He is finally sleeping through the night. Not all the time, more like a handful of times, but I'll take it.
  • He can stand when holding onto something without having one of us hold him up.
  • He calls me "Mama," but not consistently. He usually says it when he is sad and I come get him from his crib or if he wants me to hurry up and give him his food. Every once in awhile I will get a happy "Mama" as well. He also will sometimes say "num num num" when it is time to eat or if he is hungry.

Likes
  • Avocados (sometimes), Mangoes, Berries, Apricots (sometimes), Apples, Bananas (if other fruit is mixed with it), Cherries (mixed with apple sauce), Sweet Potatoes and Cereal.
  • Cars. He kicks like crazy with excitement when one drives by.
  • Favorite toys: Anything with tags and his octopus that plays music. It used to terrify him, but now he thinks it is pretty cool.
  • Watching Daddy play the guitar.
  • Cell phones and TV remotes and trying to eat them.
  • People watching.

Dislikes
  • Black Beans, Peas, most Veggie Mixes and all baby food that is supposed to be a full meal and incorporates any type of meat.
  • Baby puff cereal. This gets its own bullet point, because it was that traumatic. We gave them to Baby H. to help him start learning to chew, but he hated it!
  • The nose sucker
  • People in his personal space. This kiddo has major stranger danger. He has gotten to the point where he won't go to anyone except his mommy and daddy. He will smile at people from a distance, but if they try to hold him, tears are quick to come. 

Tidbits
  • We went to the Payson Temple Open house as a family and Hyrum did really well.
  • Still not crawling, but he has become more interested in becoming mobile. He rolls around trying to get to toys. He also likes to push books off the couch onto the floor and then tries to dive after them. Luckily his mommy and daddy always catch him.
  • He will now take a bottle. He used to when he was a newborn, but stopped around 6 weeks. This past month he is happy to drink from one again and gets excited when he sees one.
  • I've tried to give him the baby food with chunks in it to help him start learning how to eat solid food. He hates it. If I do get him to take a spoonful, he will suck the puree part down and spit the chunks out.
  • Lately, he tries to scratch off my freckles. I don't love this.

  1. I can't believe I'm still so behind in my comments! Don't let him scratch off those freckles or dive off the sofa.

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 th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

8 Months!

Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
