auger

ok to be perfectly honest, i only created this blog to show everyone my baby. so here are a few of his precious moments over the last month.

last night he discovered suckers. he seemed to like them, but ill let you be the judge.

we stoppped at a hotel in boise on our way home from thanksgiving. auger got to sleep in the bath tub. he slept for nine hours!

grandpa introduced him to his piggies

we had a little accident with the fingernail clippers and had to fashion a bandaid of sorts to his thumb

we are all still lovin life in royal. its good to be home again.

thanksgiving was great, except for the fact that auger wouldn't go to anyone but his parents. but on the bright side he finally slept ten hours through the night and is now on a pretty solid eight hour schedule :) here are a few candids from the trip to utah.

well i loaded these pictures on in the wrong order sorry. a couple weeks ago thomas and i babysit the klefbeck family while their parents were in honduras for 8 days. molli is three, bailey is seven, and reilli is ten. they were awesome and auger loved them all to death.

this is a playdate molli and i had with some girls in the ward. there was a lot of pink going around :)

even though molli is probably only a few pounds heavier then auger, she wanted to hold him constantly ha ha. he really liked their ceiling fan too.

they warned us beforehand that the cat liked to sleep with warm bodies but i was still pretty surprised to see this when i went in to check on auger. apparently he liked the warm body to snuggle with too.

the kids helped us bathe auger every night.

auger's blessing went awesome. i cried through the whole thing but auger didn't make a sound. i guess i prayed hard enough for that one. this is the only picture i have of augers blessing day, i know that is terrible, but by the time i thought about taking pictures he was not very happy so we only had time for one.

same situation with the halloween costume lol. auger started screaming as soon as we got him into his pea pod and hardly stopped until we got him out of it. my dad said he looked like a caterpillar anyways.

oh ya and i had dreads again :) i thought halloween was a good enough excuse to have them for a few days.

the deck

so thomas has been working on our deck every spare minute he has away from work and it is finally finished (basically). we are still deciding whether or not we want to paint it. he has spent no money on it so far and it is probably my favorite deck in the whole world cuz it looks so rustic :) these pictures don't even begin to show how truly amazing it is.

our little guy

alright i know it has been forever since we have posted any pics. im super sorry but sometimes life just doesn't give ya time to do what ya want to right? our not-so-little baby boy is now almost six weeks old. he is a wopping eleven pounds and who knows how tall. all i know is when he stretches out straight he fits into his nine month clothes! at church last week an elderly man asked if he was the same age as his three month old cousin sitting next to him, and she is no small baby either ha ha. needless to say, he is really working on my arm muscles, but i wont complain about buff arms :) i have quite a few pictures here but they are over a span of about three weeks. this one is just for you all to get a good look at him and how much he has changed already.
every time we go to grandma hebdon's house he sleeps on the banana chair tipped all the way back. it's the only place we have found in the family room that he will sleep forever (except for grandma's lap)

he has to be able to see things or he gets mad. his favorite thing is the lights and the ceiling fan.

before we turned the heat back on, our house was pretty cold. we had to keep auger bundled up pretty good and he would scream every time we changed his diaper lol. on the good side though, he sure slept good for those couple of days :)

he was not a fan of baths for a really long time as you can see and he would scream through most of it. if one of us was not holding his hand in the bath tub he would freak out and flex every muscle in his body so his arms and legs were sticking straight out. but lucky for us we have learned a few tricks and last night we made it through an entire bath with zero screaming :)

not a fan of changing his clothes either

here he is with daddy a few days ago. he is to the age now where he wants someone to be talking to him all the time.

jolyn and i took him on his first real walk last week. it was pretty cold so she pulled out her little baby bag that she got in england and a beanie for him. we wrapped him up real good and walked for almost an hour down to the post office and back. he absolutley loved it! he was awake the whole time and never got fussy at all and then was happy for like the next three hours it was amazing :)

he took a nap with uncle rick when he finally crashed that night

and finally, this is a picture from this morning. i was digging through all of thomas's baby stuff and found this little sweat suit :) now i just need a pic of thomas in it when he was a baby.

on other news, the harvesting is over. thomas and skyler worked on our deck yesterday and it is looking closer to being done. we are both teaching lessons on sunday. and next sunday is the blessing that yes you are all invited to. we will also be having dinner right after church.
