Shots...

Today was Dawson's 2 month old check-up with the Doctor. I really love his doctor because of how informative he is, and you can really tell he cares. Any concern we have or question, he addresses it with care and checks Dawson to make sure he's okay. His weight was 11 lbs 9 oz.-and in the 48%, Length is 23 inches- in the 55 %, and head his in the 40%... The doctor commented on his development mentally too. Dawson has been making so many noises! He will talk for 20 minutes straight and smiles a ton! It's definately rewarding to have him play with us after sleepless nights. :) At the end of the check-up the doctor says, "Well, he is going to get 3 shots today." I kind of made a sad face. Then he continued, "Ya .. we usually wait to tell moms about the shots until the end of the check-up. . . they are the ones that have the hardest time." Needless to say, it was true for me. I just wanted to take the shots for him, but he really did good. He definitely cried for a bit, but he calmed down really quick. I'm really glad he won't remember it.... I will though. I should probably buck up and just get over it like him.. :)

I need your Email Addresses

please comment your email address to me if you would like to keep reading our blog. I'm going to be setting it to private after Thanksgiving. I won't publish the comments, that way no one else will be able to see you email address only I will be able to. Thanks so much!

Pet Peeves

I really do love blogs, but I must say that its very tempting to make our blog private. I think thats what I'm going to do for one reason... People that you don't even know commenting not nice things on your blog. I changed the comment setting so I could read them and decide to post them or not. I'm really glad I did because just today I got another comment that was way out of line. I love hearing from people I know and seeing their blogs. It's so nice to be able to hear of fun updates of old friends, new friends, and family. I feel like it's a way to stay in touch and keep being friends when you don't get to see each other very often. We all blog to let others know what's going on and to share exciting things.
I don't mind if people I don't know comment nice things, or look at the blog... it's the ones that you don't know who comment mean, out of line, rude comments that ruin it. Blogging is meant to be fun, not for putting down others. So for this reason I'm setting my blog to private... sorry to make it an inconvenience for anyone, but I was really hurt by this person. So please comment your email addresses before Thanksgiving and that way I will add you so you can still read the fun updates. Thank you!

Sleep... :)

Well, I have some pretty awesome news... Dawson fell asleep at 6pm last night. I decided to just fall asleep too because lately I haven't been getting sleep as many of you who have children have experienced.. :) He slept until 11:00pm and he ate, then fell right back asleep again until 4 in the morning! I couldn't believe the time when I woke up! I felt so blessed and rested. He did stay awake for a bit after that, but I didn't mind because I was feeling so good and happy that he slept for so long. Today he slept quite a bit more.. so i don't know if tonight will be the same, but what night is ever the same right? He is getting so big and making so many fun noises. Each day he seems to notice more and more about his voice and the noises he can make. It is so much fun and so dang cute!

Happy Halloween!

Well this year we had a get together at our house. We had crepes for dinner and then watched a movie. We had so much fun answering the door for trick or treaters and also it was so fun to mingle with everyone.
This is our good friend Tim Stevens. (somehow he is related to us) He was a good highlight of the night as you can see! He a darling girl!
This is my sister Jori and her son Carson! She did dress up later that night, but i forgot to get a picture. She was Paris Hilton, and man oh man did she look like her! :)
And here is HOT ROD! This is our friend Jefferson as Hot Rod! He rode by on a scooter too!!! It was hilarious! There is video footage down below! It was so freakin funny!
Here is the little tiger Carson! He was such a cute tiger! He even went trick or treating and it was so sweet! He caught on very quick! You knock and get candy... next door!
And here are the best buds ever! Carson and Dawson! We dressed him up as a clown! He was such a sweet little clown all night. They are such good lookin boys!
This is our footage we got of the almight Hot Rod! If you've ever seen the movie this will make you laugh!

Sweet Cousins

I went to Kanab for tuesday night and wednesday day to help out my sister Amy. Her kids are so sweet and loving. The whole time me and Dawson were spoiled with hugs and kisses and a lot of help. They all wanted to just hold him and play with him. It was so cute! This is Rylee and anytime she was holding Dawson she would say, Jenny will you take a picture with me and him? So I did.
The kids were playing with him all the time and he kept giving them funny faces. I caught one here! I can't quite get what he's trying to say here... haha

Tubby Time

This is our sweet little Dawson after a nice warm bath. He loves to take baths! He just calms right down. He has a little tub that I wash him in and while he sits in that I let the water keep running in his tub and it drains off the sides. So he will stretch out his legs let the water run between his toes! It's so cute!
