General
I knew Brooks wanted to walk but he surprised me when he started at 10.5 months! Watching him learn how to walk is just amazing and so.. exhilarating! Is that weird? He's getting braver and more daring every day and can walk across the room now. I'm interested to see what kind of adjustments I'll need to make in coming weeks.

He has recently become more attached to me (which I love!) He's always been so independent, busy and NOT a snuggler. Just with in the last few weeks he'll come lay on my lap, sit with me or lay on my chest. It's so great for the fleeting 10 minutes it lasts until he's off to conquer the living room.


Food and Sleep
He takes 2 naps a day and sleeps about 11 hours a night. We had our first two baby sitters this month too! Well the first one he was already asleep, but it still counts for my mom brain to be able to part with my baby. The second time my friend had to put him to bed. She said he fussed for 10 seconds them was OUT! I thought it would go well because he's pretty flexible but it was a relief that it actually went that way. 

Brooks rarely gets up at night but there are times with teething that I'll go rock him. One day when we were swimming he actually took a nap on me! That's also very rare but it was great so we could play more.

I'm nursing him 3 times a day now. A couple weeks ago we were driving and I couldn't nurse him so I gave him a snack instead and he didn't even notice. I did it the next day to see if he cared, he didn't. And that's how we got down to three at 7, 1 and 7. I was worried about the weaning process before but so far it just seems to be happening naturally which I'm happy about.

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
