Anything you can put in your mouth, you do. 

You are mostly a happy baby and smile whenever anyone gives you attention.

You are a champ in the car these days. You hardly cry at all.

You started sleeping in your crib. Well it is still a process but we have started the process. You do pretty good. Momma is the one that is always tired and lazy!

You have been coming to work with mom LOTS more this past month!

You still eat super good!

You can sit up in your bumbo now. You probably have been able to for awhile but we just tried it for the first time. It probably isn't your fav thing ever.

You are already obsessed with the t.v

Matching with momma is moms favorite. I just think you are SO cool.

You are making more noises and grunt so much more.

Your favorite thing to do in church is to not actually go to any classes. You are so pretty that mom lets you get away with it.

You are a strong little bugger.

Your thumb sucking is out of control. I am kind of impressed with how far back you can bend your thumb.

You LOVE tummy time. 

You win some, you lose some.

You pooped on Grandpa Felshaw this past month. Classic.

You love when momma holds you & talks to you. Not just momma but anyone for that matter. You love LOVE love to be held. You usually want whoever is holding you to be standing up, too.

YOUR SNUGGLES ARE THE BEST!

You are such a heavy breather like your dad.

Dad almost always carries you like you are a football or something.

You suck on EVERYTHING. and grab EVERYTHING. Mostly moms shirt or hair. Oh and especially your blankets.

Sleepy Ida is SO ADORABLE.

You took your first bath in an actual tub this month. Well, I think Grandma Felshaw bathed you in the tub, too. But, this time was a party and you loved it! Sometimes you got a little scared and you would jerk but mostly you thought you were taking over the world.

You love Aunt Talia and Aunt Kate. 

You love when Grandma and Grandpa Hansen watch you! You also don't really know what to think about snapchat. (good girl.you can't have a phone until you are atleast 30.)

Aunt Maleena is trying to make you into an athlete.

You and dad celbrated moms birthday at buffalo wild wings with her! 

You have the silliest smiles! They make mom and dad smile and it melts our hearts. 

You have the prettiest blue eyes.

SHOTS. Two in the leg and one in the mouth. You spit up all the mouth one so I can't really say you got that one. You only cried for like five seconds then you looked at the nurse and smiled. I put you in your carseat and you fell asleep for like 2 1/2 hours. You are so strong!

You got to meet your newest cousin, Vanden Shaw Frehner. He is a TINY little guy compared to you! Hopefully you grow up to be best friends like your mommas. ;)

Aunt Maleena calls you Ferdinand and you really love her!

We went to Horseshoe Bend National Park this month. You are a rockstar. You slept thee entire five hours in the car and when we were there you smiled at all the strangers. It was a beautiful day.

Dad and I love you more and more every single day. You are the best baby in the world. We are excited for lots more adventures with you.

Love,

Mom & Dad

This month has been crazy fast and crazy packed with fun! So let's get this started!

 

You are mommas best pal.

 

We try and keep you clean & you make it pretty easy. You love showering with your parents and being naked.

You have been putting both fists in your mouth and suck on them like crazy. We think it is because of your cysts in your mouth but we aren't 100% sure. (don't have any pictures of that but she is cute so here are these)

We went to the pumpkin patch! We rode on the hayride and picked out our pumpkins! It was cold. Sheena, Ryan, Emery, Lincoln & Lucy went with us. It was lots of fun.

You finally got to meet your cousin Marley! We didn't get to spend too much time together but there was only nice play so that was good!

We went on a pretty long rzr ride with both your grandpas, Maleena, Rusty Hughes' family, Brogan's family and Tessa's family including Diana. It was lots of fun and beautiful views. You did SO good. You slept most the time and braved the wind and the cold at the top. Your dad almost slid us off a cliff, too. So that was something.

I am completely smitten by you, Ida.

We carved pumpkins. Honestly the picture on the left cracks me up. You were NOT having it. Pinterest FAIL. But you did enjoy watching t.v while your dad and I carved our pumpkins.

Bug, looks like you get your looks from Grandpa Hansen. You always love spending time with both your grandparents. You are a lucky babe to be with them so often.

HALLOWEEN! Your very first halloween. You were a lady bug for Grandpa & Grandma Felshaws Trunk or Treat. Then you were a banana for Grandpa & Grandma Hansens Trunk or Treat + on Halloween. You were adorable both times!

We went to the Shark Reef with your Aunt Tessa and her family + your aunt Kate! You liked looking at the water and things under the tunnel but honestly you were asleep most of the time. It was proably way more fun for your mom and dad!

You absolutely still LOVE being outside and looking around. You love riding in strollers so you can see everything. Big thanks to Bevan & Donna Reber for this sweet stroller! And also, a big thank you to Don & DeNae Rappleye for your other stroller! :) We are surrounded by the best people, Bugs.

Mom and dad wanted to go rock climbing so we brought you along and went with your uncle Kasdan. You slept half the time. The other half you liked looking around but it was chilly!

Just hanging out with mom and dad is your jam. It is our jam, too!

We went to lots of your aunt Maleenas volleyball games and went to her end of the season dinner. You have loved the games and the noise that comes with it. Also, Mal has held you more this past month than any time so far. I think she is starting to like you!

Though these pictures make you think you like your car seat.. you really are starting to hate it and you expect someone to sit back by you at all times. If mom and dad are both in the car your mom always caves and sits in the backseat with you. You are a spoiled little bean.

We visited the 1,000 flags in Mesquite with Tessa, Amra, and Ivy. Tessa babysit you that day and she is super pregnant so she is a champ for that.

We went to the Cedar City open house with these cool people! It was beautiful. Again, you slept a good chunk of it. But, you also loved looking around at all the lights and the people when you were awake!

We went to Bryce Canyon! I think this is the first National Park that you have been to. We just bought a National Park so you will probably go to more parks in your near future! You did awesome even though it was pretty cold and windy. The views were beautiful!

You went to your first parade! The Cedar City Storybook parade. We went with your Aunt Sheena and her family. They are the best and they love you so much!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH, IDA MARIE HANSEN. Three months have gone by so fast. You add so much joy to our lives. You are the best and worst baby that we have ever had. You are trying to learn to crawl and roll over. You love tummy time. You are mostly a happy baby. You also coo and try to talk and it is the cutest thing ever. You LOVE your dad and smile whenever you see him. You are beautiful in every way. We hope you know how much we love you and never forget that.

Love, 

Mom and Dad
