July 2015


Summer is so much fun with an 8 month old. We have been doing lots of swimming, walks and playing on the swings, visiting friends and family, and just enjoying. July was a relaxed month for us (minus a few remodels). Jefferson started a baby class on mondays- Bouncing Babies, He loves the music, rhymes, and sensory activity. He loves to perform I'm A Little Teapot for everyone. After class we started going to Grandma Greats and joining her for lunch and piano duets. Jefferson definitely knows and loves his Grandma Great.

  
We took out our cousins to celebrate their summer birthdays. 





We played a lot with Aunt Marce and took a roadtrip to Price to visit friends.




Jefferson loves to help his daddy work, and is fascinated with mirrors.




He has been playing a new game called clear the deck/or empty the basket. All of his toys are looked at one by one and then dropped from the high chair or emptied out of the basket.


And he tries his darndest not to let his limbs touch the grass


I'm very happy that my black thumb is turning a little more green and I haven't killed all of my flowers! None of my friends would believe that this is my front yard!






Our friend helped us finish our entertainment center so it won't be falling on any little boy trying to pull himself up.
Before & After                                                         



Our baby is 8 months already! Eating well, sleeping well, and scooting everywhere to explore his world. Where has the time gone! So grateful for every minute of this past July.

June 2015

We had a lovely open house to celebrate Jefferson's adoption finalization, temple sealing, and baby blessing. We are so grateful for all of our family and friends who came out to support and celebrate our little man.


















We celebrated fathers day with grandpas.








Jefferson went swimming for the first time and we did lots of swimming since, and relaxing at the beach building sand castles.









We explored museums and parks.







Jefferson went on his first hike and went to his first outdoor summer concert.







We went with the Hebdon clan to Sneidermille and played an intense game of Risk-my enemies enemy is my friend.


We played so much sometimes we fell asleep just sitting...



Summertime...


I am almost 8 months and love my bouncing babies class. My daddy nicknamed me The Duke because I love the duke of york song. I like swimming but it takes me a minute to get used to the water, and I don't like my head under even though my mama does it every time so I get used to it. I am still figuring out how to crawl and can push myself backwards on the hardwood floor, but not the carpet. I am eating all sort of fruits and veggies and I really like drinking drops of water from my mamas water bottle. And the best news of all... I am sleeping through the night every night now.
