New Teeth!

Your teeth are coming in fast! Your gums all along the top are white and swollen. Your left canine has pushed through, and the others are going to be here before we know it! Yay! You like to smile and show off those pearly whites. Just look at this little cheeser boy!

Can you get any cheesier than that?

Wait...yes, yes you can :-)

New Cousin! Baby Jaden :)

We are so excited you have a new cousin! Your Aunt Ashley had a baby boy this week on November 19th. Baby Jaden weighs 8lbs 7oz and is 20.5 inches long. We all went to the hospital to see him, but you are too little and had to wait downstairs with Grandpa. He has lots of dark hair, and really long fingers and toes. We are so excited!

11 Months

Happy 11 Month Birthday Boston! You are getting so big! You're favorite thing to do lately is push around the laundry basket. You push it around the entire apartment, turn it around then start over again :-) Sometimes I'll find random things in it that you've gone around and collected. Toys, socks, spoons, nail polish, toothbrushes, just to name a few.

Just today you've discovered you have a nose. Your nostrils more like. I've spent a good portion of today pulling your fingers out of your nose. Crazy boy! You can stand on your own for quite awhile, but haven't taken a step on your own yet. Your third tooth is coming in, on the top left. Your gums are white and swollen all across your upper arch, so I'm betting you'll wake up with a mouthful sometime soon!

You eat mostly solids now, only a few bottles of milk a day. You love pasta, baby food fruit and sweet potatoes (not really any other vegetables) and juice. 

I can't believe you will be one next month. It seems like we've had you forever, but at the same time not long enough! It makes me sad to think your first year is almost over, but I'm so excited for things to come! We love you!

Ear Infection

You got your first ear infection last week. Sad day! We took you to the doctors and they took your temperature, measured your oxygen levels and checked your throat, nose and ears. Your doctor doesn't come in on Fridays, so you saw Dr Pennington. She was nice! She looked in your ear and said: ouch! She gave you some yummy bubblegum medicine to take. (No, I haven't been tasting his medicine :-) Although I'm tempted!) You started feeling better right away! We spent the day watching movies, napping and cuddling. We're so glad you're feeling better!

Church

You looked so cute at church yesterday, I just had to post some pictures!

Happy Halloween!

Your first Halloween was a fun one! It started the weekend before with the Tree family Halloween party. Grandpa made us some yummy pumpkin pancakes. He always makes yummy breakfast! You came with the girls to do some Christmas Shopping in Park City. You are such a good baby to take shopping. You enjoyed the ride, and even got a piece of licorice and a sticker from one of the stores. Grandma Tree got you a cute Jack-O-Lantern onesie. Then we all ate pizza, rootbeer and donuts and watched movies. During the movie, Dad thought it would be fun to give you a taste of his rootbeer. I guess you were thirsty, cause you grabbed the cup with both hands and dumped it all over your face! It was pretty funny.

On Halloween we took you to Papa and Grandma's house. They have been growing a HUGE pumpkin just for you! It weighed 80 lbs. We cleaned it out, and you fit right inside. You thought that was so fun. Then for some reason you decided to start eating the pumpkin, and liked it! You are definitely my son....although, next time, wait til we put the pumpkin in something delicious, like pie, or pumpkin roll, or pretty much anything else. I promise, it tastes much better that way :-)
After that, we dressed you all up in your nemo costume to do some trick-or-treating! Your Dad and I dressed up as Disney characters with you. Daddy is such a good sport! He was Mr. Incredible. We only went to a few houses, and you still came home with a bucket of treats. Yummy! You enjoyed playing with your candy. We played fun games, and by the end of the night, you were so tired, you just passed out. What a fun Halloween! 

That's a BIG pumpkin!

Yummy!
