Slow Down!!!!

I have had so many things to blog about during the past month but just haven't been able to find the time to actually do any blogging!! It seems like time just keeps slipping through my fingers. I need it to s-l-o-w down.

A few highlights from the past month:
  • Our very, very good friends, the Gublers and the Hamiltons from St. George surprised us by driving all the way up to the middle of no-where (here) to come to Mason's blessing. We felt so loved and enjoyed their company.
  • Anastyn, my three-year-old, developed her very first crush. Oh my.
  • We took the girls on their first fishing trip ever. In case you didn't know - those cute little Barbie fishing poles are pieces of crap.
  • Matty lost two more teeth. She just may decide to be a jack-o-lantern for Halloween. :)
  • My sister (oh, how I love her) came home to have her wisdom teeth removed.
  • After walking around with tape holding her glasses together for a few weeks, Matty got yet another new pair of glasses. :)
  • Kari and Tyler had a beautiful wedding and reception.
  • Kyle started his new job at Marathon and thinks he will love it!
That's a lot of stuff. All of those things were worthy of their very own blog posts. It makes me sad because there are a lot of great details that I would like to remember...sigh. The condensed version will have to suffice. And that's better than nothing.

Mason turned three months old yesterday. Three months old. Can it have been three months already?? He is getting so big. (sniff, sniff) He weighed in at 13 lbs 8 oz and measured 25 inches at his doctor appointment last week. I snapped a few pictures yesterday to capture in time my 3-month-old baby boy.
At 3 months, Mason:
  • smiles and coos and has even chuckled a time or two!
  • holds his head up well
  • doesn't enjoy being on his tummy
  • still does not sleep through the night
  • enjoys his swing
  • loves being entertained by his sisters
  • wants to suck his thumb...but mommy and daddy just won't let him! (he can thank his bigger sister for that!)
  • loves to wiggle on the floor
  • looks quite a lot like his mommy
  • takes a lot of naps
  • is such a good baby and rarely fusses!
