Welcome Home!

We are all moved in! It took a while, but all the boxes are gone and everything is put away. It finally feels like home. Follow me for a tour!

Shawn's room, complete with minion poster. I love it! The top says, "Have you hugged your minion today?"

My brother Keegan made this for Shawn.
Kitchen. I love the amount of counter space!

The bedrooms and closets are a little small, but we've found a place for everything. So far we have really enjoyed living in Nampa. It's fun to explore the new stores, restaurants and parks in a town. It's also nice to be "in between" lots of family members and friends. We've already had lots of guests who are passing through on the way to Rexburg/Washington/Provo.

I can't write a blog without talking about my little angel. Shawn is getting bigger and learning new skills every day. Ben comes home at night and swears he looks bigger than he did the day before. He is still up 3-4 times a night, but he generally goes back to sleep pretty quickly once I feed him or give him back his binky. At 6 1/2 months old, he is in 9 month and some 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. We'll need to go up to size 4 soon. He is a rolling machine and we think he'll start crawling soon. He is extremely curious and will fearlessly nosedive off the bed/couch/counter/whatever if he sees something he wants to explore. I'll definitely have my hands full once he's more mobile! He is such a happy little guy with an infectious smile. His favorite things to do during the day are go on walks in the stroller and jump in his bouncer.



Such a doll.

This is the only time he's ever done this. I was feeding him green beans and he started eating the table! It was hilarious. 
Those big blue eyes kill me! It's hard to tell in the picture, but he is getting more hair. In some light it looks blond, and sometimes it looks a little red. He loved gnawing on a carrot! 
He's a tummy or side sleeper now. Sometimes I go in and he's playing with his Mickey Mouse bumper pads. 
He got his first sippy cup last week. He hasn't figured out that he's supposed to suck yet, but he sure loves to chew on it!
