This month was the best and the worst. You were soooo sick for a good chunk of the month. But you have learned so much and are starting to grow and be a bigger person! You eat really well, only wake up once (usually) a night to eat, you still do pretty awesome on car rides, you crawl everywhere and are super fast at it, you climb up against everything, you stood by yourself once for awhile but then never did it again, and you make tons of noises but no actual words.
We went to the homestead crater in Midway, UT. It was quite the drive but a cool experience. Kasdan and his friend Daniel also came with us! The water is warm and we had to wear these life jackets. Yours was pretty big on ya.
Park days! We love the beautiful weather that St.George has. You FINALLY learned how to drink out of a bottle. You have been drinking from a sippy cup for awhile now but I wanted the transition for you to be easier when you turn 1 and I switch you to regular milk! You love drinking apple juice, water or pear juice. Also, you are pretty skeptical about hammocks still.
Bundy Reunion - Memorial Day weekend. This is something we do every year but it was your first time! It honestly wasn't the best for you either. You were sick and super constipated which meant you cried or whined like 96% of the time. We still managed to have a good time and look forward to next year!
We went rock climbing and to that little splash pad in St.George with Tessa + Brams family! We had a blast and loved to share something that we enjoy doing with them. Of course they were both just naturally good at it.
This didn't include you because we left you at home while your dad + I had a date night. We went to Nitro Circus. Grammy and Kately took great care of you.. like always! We sat next to Keaton and his girlfriend + Kirby and Kandace.
We got to hangout with Larena for a day before her, Shawn + the pups moved to Alaska! We are SOOO excited for them especially since we already booked a trip to go see them in September.
We went to your cousin Porshas birthday party at her house. There was swimming, family, food and games. It was a blast. I probably had more fun than anyone else there!! The pool was too cold for you. But you liked wondering around and playing with cousins.
You had your 9 mo check up. You are so skinny. You only weighed 13 pounds! We found out you had a double ear infection and we went back and got shots two days in a row to get over a nasty virus as well.
We celebrated so many birthdays this past month. Grandma Felshaw, Porsha, Neesha, Kately, Dad and a few more that I know I am missing.
For Mothers Day we painted (watched others paint) your great grandmas grave and we went and visited your other great grandma, too! We are lucky that we live close by!
I love how sweet you are when you are sleeping. Really its true what they say.. there is nothin sweeter.
We stayed at Grammy and Grampa Hansens for a week while they went to a work thing in California!
More doctor appointments! Atleast you manage to be somewhat happy.
You think that trampolines are pretty funny. Especially when people push their hands on it and make you bounce a tiny bit!
You love being on the ground but that is because you LOVE putting every single thing in your mouth.
Wingnutz for dads birthday dinner. You love straws!
We also went bowling at fiesta fun. Your dads birthday lasted like two weeks it seemed like or we just kept using that as an excuse to do fun things and spend money. ;)
Your teeth seriously just crack me up. I love them.
We celebrated your dads birthday! On his birthday we went out to dinner and a few days later he got his birthday present! A new gun! He is in love with it... something else we will have to compete with ;)
We got you this cute little puppy bean bag chair at a yardsale for $1. You look so grown up when you sit in it!
Talia graduated highschool! She gave an awesome talk. My cousin Calee graduated, too! And a few other cool kids. I just didn't get any pictures with anyone!
Oh the joys of trying food. You aren't a huge fan of fruit. You seem to like salty things. The last picture was you trying some potatoes I made.. I didn't realize they were chipotle flavor and I let you be the taste tester hahah that was my bad.
We sold our Jetta so I worked at home a couple days and you were more than willing to hangout and help me!
Always a big helper when it comes to doing laundry. You love pulling things out of the dryer and sometimes putting them back in. You also love unfolding everything that I just folded.
Ida got a fever of 105 so we went to the ER they said it was a virus + teething and that with time it would pass.
4 Generations: Carol Reber -> Deon Felshaw -> Sasha Hansen -> Ida Hansen on Mothers Day.
Some random rash you had for a couple days. We figured it was an allergic reaction to something even though I don't think we figured out what it was.
You are a total book worm. Maybe you just like flipping the pages.. but I will take what I can get for now.
Getting big into exploring different foods. We pretty much give you whatever we have and you seem to like trying different things.
Target isn't only fun for momma. You LOVE going to any store and playing with whatever toys you see!
We went to the Hansen family reunion & also got a 4 generation picture!
Mom got a new rig! Its a VW Touareg. Now we will ride in style.
The days have gotten hotter which means the smoothies have gotten more regular. You love when I feed you out of a straw.
Apparently moms milk isn't the only milk you like. ;) You are actually a pretty good baby when it comes to grocery shopping. You love to look at everything and everyone and you always seem to get a compliment on your cuteness.
It was free fishing lake so we went to Gunlock and Kasdan came with us. The fishing sucked and we didn't catch anything but it was still nice to be outside. You ate snacks (and dirt) non-stop and my favorite part was cliff jumping.
Park with the Hansens.
You love getting babysat. You are still a mommas girl but you get SO happy to see your aunts and grandparents! And of course the dogs.
This past month was hard. There were a freakin ton of hard days. There were also some REAL real good happy days. You make our world go round and as much as you drive us crazy we love you a billion times over and we will never stop. We can't wait to see what this next month brings.
Love,
Mom + Dad
