8 Months Old!

In the last month, Boston broke his femur, got his first tooth, learned "da da," and "ma ma," and has mastered the "craw/roll/scoot." He also enjoys sucking on his mama's chin and hair, going after her pink furry slippers so he can try sucking on them too, admiring his reflection in the mirror, and he LOVES when daddy comes home from work. He is such a pleasant little guy, and it is a blessing spending every day seeing him grow and learn. What was life like without him 8 months ago?

Happy Father's Day!

Weekend Hike

We went on a beautiful hike up by the temple Saturday. The river was loud and full from all the rain, and all the spring flowers were in bloom. Brick carried Boston backwards in the Bjorn so he could see me the whole time, and he just chatted with me all up and down that mountainside.


As Brick passed the trees, Boston would stretch out his arms as far as they would reach so he could brush his hands along each leaf they passed. He loves being outside...although he would have been happy to enjoy the water from a distance:

Sunshine and Dimples

Memorial Day weekend we introduced Bos to the sun. He loved it.

Mommy Mistakes

Boston fell off our bed Monday afternoon, flat on his face. He cried a little, but mostly just wanted to be cuddled. I felt terrible, but, as everyone tells me, it happens. Monday night he cried and cried, but we chalked it up to teething, because he's been really fussy lately anyway, and he's never been a good sleeper. Tuesday we noticed he cried when we changed his diaper and did bycicle legs (yeah, that makes me cringe now!), and then he wouldn't put weight on his left leg. Brick's dad, Mark, was working in the ER that night, so we decided to take Bos in to get his leg checked out, but mostly Mark just wanted to see him and show him off at work. The X-ray techs shook their heads at us and smiled, saying, "First time parents, huh? Not surprised. The first timers are always over protective and paranoid." Honestly, Boston was making us look bad, smiling at all the nurses, not really fussing at all, and I thought the techs were probably right, it's gotta just be a bruise....NOPE. HE BROKE HIS FEMUR.

Boston is already gettin' his GROOVE on!

Trying out solids

Are you sure about this Mom?

HMMM...
Maybe...

Nope!

%*@$$!Nasty! Boston was so funny starting solids. He visibly shudders and, as you can see, gags. Poor guy, I would too (like I'm sure every mom does, I tried the green goo to see what the big deal was. I totally sympathize with this face!)

Happy (Late) Easter!

Happy Half-a-Year!

Six months ago today

this angel came into this world and changed our lives...

And he hasn't looked back!

YAY for Boston!

So Many Firsts!

This has been a month of firsts.

Boston is growing up so fast, and he is a very chubby, happy boy. He will be half a year old in a couple of days and, like EVERYONE tells you, they really do grow up fast, the time flies, yadda yadda. They really do though, and it really does.

1st Time Sitting up

1st Time in the Pool

This was a long-awaited day for Daddy and Bugga Mark. They both are half fish, and I guess Boston is too, because he LOVED the pool.

1st Time Eating Rice Cereal

I think Bos eating rice cereal is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. He makes this "mmm" sound with every bite, and you can't get it in his mouth fast enough.

Oh so happy.

5 Months Old!

I can't believe how the time has flown by! Boston is growing and changing every day. He is in the 75th percentile all around, he is just starting to roll over, and his new favorite thing is saying "Ba! Bo! Boo!" over and over again. He cracks himself up, and laughs and talks all the time. He loves his hands and standing up, and he loves cuddling with his mommy (Which she loves too!)

But most of all, this kid LOVES his nakedness (I would too if my bum was this cute!)
