10 Months Old

It has been forever since my last post. Based on how many people commented on my last post, I don't think anyone reads this anyway. Jerks! I'm just kidding. Anyways, Jason turned 10 months old on November 30th. He now can pull himself up on things and crawl. Well it's more like an army crawl, but it gets him places. I kind of miss the times when he would just lay there and be happy. Right when I walk in the door, he will see me and then start crying and following me around. He was fine just seconds before I walked in the door. He has kind of been making me crazy lately. I think that my lack of patience has more to do with finals coming up than it has to do with the baby. So, I guess school makes me crazy and Jason just assists a little. I love him, though. He is a cute little sweetheart most of the time. In fact, he was wonderful for our long drive to Malad, Idaho. He was wonderful the whole Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks, Cinniman for making my weekend very relaxing. Another thank you should go to Cinniman for buying Trevor and I tickets to The Transiberian Orchestra concert. We went to the concert the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It was so awesome. I definitely recommend it. I will post a video from the concert. Some of the other pictures are from Halloween. Jason was dressed up as a sock monkey. The other pictures are from a wonderful family get together. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense. I'm very tired and my brain isn't working like it did before I had a baby.

This is what happens when Dad is supposed to be watching Jason. The look on his face just says, "Oh crap! I'm caught!

I walked in and found Jason sleeping like this.

Come get me mommy!

That is one sad baby.

8 Months and Coeur D'Alene

Yes, I know it has been a long time since my last post. We have been busy and I have lacked the energy to post. School is keeping Trevor and I very busy. On another note, Jason is eight months old. I cannot believe how time flies. Jason goes to daycare two days a week. He seems to like it. The ladies say that he is very well behave and they wish all the babies were as good as Jason. Jason likes to roll everywhere. He quickly gets himself into trouble when I turn my head. He loves to roll over to any shoe that happens to be on the floor and attempt to put that shoe in his mouth. He gets very angry when I take them from him. He can pull himself up when I hold on to his hands, but he hasn't yet figured out how to pull himself up using furniture. He has been a little snarky lately. He should have some teeth any day now. Scroll down for some Jason pictures and a little blurb about our trip to Coeur D'Alene.

Jason's granny got this shirt for him. I have a matching one.

Don't mind Jason's dirty shirt. He was eating squash that day.

I sat him in the laundry basket so he wouldn't roll around while I did my hair. He decided to lay down and unfold everything. I should have known.

Two weeks ago, Trevor and I headed to Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. My cousin James and his wife Lyndsi invited us. Lyndsi's aunt owns a BEAUTIFUL property on Lake Coeur D'Alene. The reason I say property is because they own three houses that happen to be right on the lake. The pictures that will follow are of those beautiful houses and the surrounding area. Lyndsi's aunt and uncle were wonderful. They cooked us dinner one night and payed for our dinner the other night. We could not have asked for better hosts. On the way to Coeur D'Alene, we dropped Jason off in Malad, Idaho to stay with his Grandma Cinniman. It was nice to have the weekend just to ourselves. The lake water was VERY cold. We only swam for a short while. One of the days, Lyndsi and I went out on some wave runners. It was a very fun weekend! We were very glad that we got to visit with James, Lyndsi, and Eva. It was also nice to meet cute little Sophie.

Note: If you ever want to visit a gorgeous place with beautiful scenery, I definitely recommend visiting Coeur D'Alene. We just might move there someday!

6 Months

I know I am always behind with my posts. We have been very busy. Trevor and I were both doing the summer semester at SUU. It just ended yesterday. Two more weeks and we are back to school for the Fall semester. Yay for a two week summer!

Anyway, on the 31st of July, Jason turned 6 months old. He is such an awesome little guy. He is rolling around everywhere. He doesn't just lay there anymore. I always have to keep an eye on him or he will get into things. He tried to put a T.V. cord in his mouth the other day. Jason can also sit up all by himself. He can sit there for a while, but eventually he loses balance and topples over. He is still growing quickly. He was weighed at the doctor's office and he is weighs 20 lbs 14 oz. He is 27.5 inches long. He is very large. Jason is such a pleasant baby. He is always smiling and giggling. He is still sleeping ALL night. It is so wonderful. I have tried feeding Jason rice cereal. He does not like it at all. He pulls the most glorious faces. Most of the pictures are of that wonderful experience. I don't have any more to add so just enjoy the pictures.

"Wow, this is disgusting!"

"No, mom, not again!"

It has been a while.

Yes, I know it has been a while since I have posted. We have been busy and out of town quite a lot. Trevor and I are both in school this summer so that is keeping us pretty busy. Jason turned five months old on June 31st. He is very close to weighing 20 lbs. and I haven't even started him on rice cereal yet. I will begin that soon. Jason has been rolling over (mostly back to front). He is such a smiley little guy. We love making him smile and giggle. Jason can now bear some weight on his legs. If he is sitting, I can gently pull on his arms and he will stand up. It is very impressive. He knows how to use those thunder thighs of his. He also likes to squeal for no apparent reason. I will include a video.

This last weekend, I went to St. George and played in a softball tournament. Trevor's wonderful mother drove all the way down from Malad to watch Jason for me. She is wonderful. It was very hard to leave him, but it was wonderful to have a couple days to myself.

He was obviously very surprised when I took this picture.

Last week, the Renaissance festival came to Cedar City. My friend Amber Rasch came along with us. We had a great time looking at (making fun of) weird people in festive costumes. The sword fighting and camel pictures are from that event. We also met a very nice costumed fellow that let us take a picture with him.

I was really hoping the camel wouldn't spit on me

The nice fellow in the costume that his sister made for him. I bet his mom drove him there.
