Making Progress

So we are making some serious progress on the yard. I will post some pics when I get home. This is a shout out thanks to all who helped us. SO... THANKS to Dad, Mom, Brian, Caitlin, Jill and the Girls for coming to visit, Grandpa and of course my excellent husband who is working so, so hard to get this project done so that he can go fishing. I love you all so much.

Sweet Ride

So Richard's parents got us this cool Kelty Kid pack. We went to the Farmer's Market on Saturday and that was the first time we had ever used it. Plus I got to put Seth in his super cute hat.


Also Seth got a highchair. Here we are eating Grandma's home made bread. Don't tell our pediatrician I don't think that he would like that so much. So big, I know I totally wanted to cry, but he is so good. I just love that kid.

Six Months

My how time does fly. I can't believe it, but the boy is 6 months old. At his check up last week he weighed 16 lbs and 2 oz, he is also 26.5" long. He is just growing, growing, growing. Other than that things are relatively quiet around here. Richard got put in as Young Men's Pres about 2 weeks ago, and he has really been enjoying that. Our primary program is on Sunday and I am a little nervous. Because of our church time we won't be able to practice in the chapel and I have never not practiced in the chapel all the days of my primary life, as a child and a teacher. So wish us luck. Our chorister is amazing. She is so creative and can get those kids to do a whole lot of stuff. I can't believe that September is almost half over, time is just flying by. I wish I could slow it down just a bit. School has started again, and I chose not to take any classes, which I think is best. I feel like a part-time Mom and that makes me want to cry as it is. Hopefully I can start up again in the Spring. I am looking into some correspondence and maybe taking a class here and there, only 36 (hopefully) credits to go. I can't believe I am that close.

Well enjoy these super cute pics of Seth.
This is the first finished solid anything that I have been able to make him eat. My sister can get him to eat a whole jar of something every time that he is there. I definetly need some serious lessons.

Here he is with stuff on his face. I love this little smile. He can be such a flirt with his smile.
What a turkey!!
Here he is in our exersaucer that we got for 10 bucks! Yep you read it right. 10 Dollars!!! We love craigslist. (Sorry, I think that he has a bit of yuke on his face, I am not really sure though)


Our doctor said that he could probably have some crackers. Here they are. This is one quater of a graham cracker. Most of it is on the counter, as you can see and the rest is in the bumbo. No that is not graham cracker throw-up just mashed up and not swallowed. GROSS!

You can't really tell from this pic, but the boy is mostly asleep, I would say checking his eyelids for holes but he was playing with the piglet at the same time. So cute. I think that there are some ingenious inventions for parents out there and the swing is one of them. If you are a first time parent, invest in a swing that sings too. He was just swinging and snoring away.
