General

Here we go! Brooks is mobile! I didn't expect him to start crawling this early. He started rocking on his knees and then the next day he crawled! Of course we bribed him with puffs. Nothing else got him to crawl, the kid has his priorities straight.

 We've started to baby proof more things and I will probably sweep the kitchen more (or not, we'll see!). It's so weird for me to set him down in one spot and he's not there when I come back. He'll crawl as fast as he can, while breathing super hard, to what ever he can pull himself up on.

 We took him to the pool three times already and he loves it! Takes him a minute to get used to the water but then he doesn't want to get out. I see many days at the pool in our future.


Breastfeeding & Solids

I hope he's getting enough because our nursing sessions are getting shorter and shorter and farther apart. Right now he only nurses 4-5 a day and I feed him 3 'meals' and a snack. I always nurse him first so he'll be hungriest but I honestly have started to see him prefer solids.

Sleeping

He's still sleeping through the night and takes 2 naps during the day. 2 naps is kind of a stretch for him he was fighting that last catnap so badly it was time to drop it.

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou

This is Important

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being
