My Perfect Day

Last Thursday was my birthday- not a big deal just another day. But it was a perfect day. I told Ryan all I wanted was for him to take the day off. So he did. Then, Dallin usually gets up around 6 but slept in till 7:20. Thanks Bud- that was nice. While I was feeding Dallin Ryan ran to the store to get Lucky Charms. My favorite cereal. I could eat it everyday. I think I did while I was pregnant. Next came my massage. Ryan got to put Dallin down and I relaxed. It was very nice. We then went to Olive Garden for lunch as a family. That's where Dallin is in the picture. He was really good. Everyone told us he was cute sitting in his chair. We enjoyed the afternoon and did a little shopping. We ended our day going to the temple. It was a perfect day. Thanks honey for spending the entire day with me. I love you so much!!

Like Father, Like Son

Dallin has started doing this with his leg. Ryan likes to do this too. If you can see, Dallin has his leg up. I wake up in the middle of the night and Ryan is doing the same thing. I don't know how they can sleep like that.

Having Fun

So I went in to get Dallin up from a nap. I found him like this. I had to laugh. What made me laugh was that the bumper was tied to the crib. Don't ask me how he got it undone. We are always amazed at our little boy!



We had chicken salad the other day and I was cutting up tomatoes. Dallin kept looking at me wanting some. I finally let him suck on one and he liked it. He always watches me eat now wanting some especially when I have a spoon. I keep telling him one day.




Both feet are so much better than just one. Now that he has found both feet he loves to play with them.

Our Boy

I love this boy so much!!! He makes me want to smile!

4 Generation Picture

We are excited to have this picture. It is 4 generations. In it is Ryan's Grandpa, Ryan's Dad, Ryan, and Dallin. I love the picture of Ryan and Dallin. Dallin is so cute! We love his smile! And yes, Ryan had to pick out matching outfits for him and Dallin!!

Dallin's Favorites

As you can see, Dallin has many favorites. First, he loves to hold his hands. He has always done it but now that he knows he has hands he likes to hold them tight. Another of his favorites is to play peek-a-boo. He kicks his legs and moves his arms when we put the blanket on him. He laughs and smiles big when we pull it off. Another thing Dallin has found is his shirt. He loves to pull it to his mouth. Yes, he is teething. Lastly, I think this is so cute. We usually go walking early in the morning and he has found the stroller. Sometimes I see 1 leg up there but sometimes its both. I just love my munchkin so much and am loving every minute of being a mom!!

Dallin's First Food

Dallin had rice for the first time last Sunday. We made it really runny and he seemed to like it. Monday we made it thicker and he didn't like it but we plugged along with it. By Wednesday he finally figure it out. He was a big boy and seemed to know what to do. It was fun to do this big step with many more fun steps ahead of us!!

Our Family

This is our first real family picture we have together. I love Dallin's shorts.

Our Fun Week

I know it has been awhile since my last post but it has been a fun, exhausting week. One word, sick! My poor boy has a cold and his congestion is pretty bad. The saddest part is that I probably got him sick. I feel so bad for him. We elevated his crib but that doesn't seem to help. It has been a long week but we just keep plugging along. We have seen so much snot this week. A funny story but if you are queasy you might not want to read. So, we were leaving a store and Grandpa had Dallin. By the time we got to our car there was snot from both sides of his nose down to his chin. Looking back now we both laugh. Poor Dallin! Hopefully this fun is almost over and we can get back to peaceful, quiet nights. Pictures next week!

My Fingers

As you can see, Dallin loves his fingers. He is always putting them in his mouth. This past week Dallin had his 4 month check up. The shots went better this time because the nurse was faster. But it was still hard on me. Dallin weighs 13 lbs. 12 oz. and is in the 25 percentile for weight. His length is 26 inches and that puts him in the 80th percentile for length. We don't know where this height is coming from. Dallin is a happy, healthy, adorable, cutie pie that we love so very much!!!
