General
This kid is giving me a run for my money! He crawls so fast and is interested in things he's never cared about before: chords, fireplace, outlets and every piece of dirt or bug on the ground. Right now I can always hear when he's going to get into something he's not supposed to. He does this excited hard breathing as he's crawling as fast as he can, it's hilarious! 

As most of you know we went to Boise for a week and it was such a good vacation. I was also very happy to see Brooks warm up to my parents right away! Brooks did so good traveling! Then Dan's parents came into town and same thing, he warmed up to them quickly and enjoyed their visit.


Breastfeeding & Solids
For a week or so Brooks was not nursing regularly and I often couldn't get him to nurse. It was frustrating and uncomfortable for me and exhausting to keep offering over and over. This overflowed into the first couple days of our Boise trip. Then what does Dan find? A tooth cutting through! I was relieved and it all made sense now. After it cut through he started nursing regularly again and then some. Must be growing! He had his two bottom teeth and I was expecting his top teeth to come in next. Nope! it's another bottom tooth. Fast forward a week and he's cutting another top tooth.

After his tooth cut this kid has been ravenous! He eats a ton!. I'll feed him breakfast, lunch, a snack and dinner plus nursing him 4-5 times a day.

Sleeping
I have to give Brooks some BIG kudos. When we went to Boise he slept in 3 different pack n plays in 3 different places and did awesome! Wasn't perfect, but he did great for the circumstances. He seemed to nap even better- we must have worn him out!

He still takes 2 naps and usually sleeps 11-12 hours at night. Maybe once every 2 weeks I'll go feed him in the early AM. He's a good baby!

A wedding and a crash... does that make us wedding crashers?

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

  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

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
