Sleeping Boy

Hyrum likes to crawl in bed with me for an hour in the mornings until we start our day at 7:30am. This particular day he slept in until 9am! Lucky boy.. I decided to snap some shots.. I'm behind on blogging and I figured his MawMaw and PawPaw would like to see how he has grown. Hyrum is such a sweetie!!





Don't you just want to kiss his face.?

5 Mile Lake

About two weeks ago it was really hot out and Hyrum was being fussy, so we decided to take him swimming at 5mile Lake. This is his first time swimming in anything other than a bathtub and he absolutley loved it.

I didn't go swimming with them because I do not have a swimsuite yet. But, hopefully I will have one by the next time we decide to go.

Bath Slide

One day last week while Hyrum was playing in the bath, he kept trying and trying to pull himself up on the right side of the bathtub with the incline. He tried about 10 times until he finally made it up... Here is a video of a few of his attempts. He Loves bath time.!

My Little Dancer

We have a dancer! Hyrum LOVES music as much as his mommy.. when he hears music he automatically starts dancing, and sometimes sits there and trys to 'sing' along also.. It's so cute.. here is a short clip of him dancing to some High School Musical 3.!!

he got a little stage fright when he realized I was recording.

Who knew..?

A few weekends ago, we had a little incident that I didn't believe could REALLY ever happen..

It was one of those things that I thought only happened in movies and television shows. Well, we were proven wrong.

For those who are easily grosed out, you might want to stop ready right about... now...

Well, I woke up on a Friday morning to get Hyrum out of bed so we could get the day going, and pack our bags to go on a little trip to Portland. When I opened the door, Hyrum got excited and started jumping around everywhere waiting for me to pick him up..

I walked through Hyrums bedroom, opened his blinds and turned to go to his crib to get him out and I stopped dead in my tracks and found my brain working a 100miles a minute trying to figure out 'Where to Start.'

Hyrum's Diapper was not put on properly the night before. Right about this point, you all can start using your immagination as to what I found..

Hyrum has started having his poopy diappers in the morning. With his diapper only covering 1 hiney cheek, the poo went everywhere. It was on his clothes, his arms, his forhead, his legs, sheets, blanket, AND on the Crib Railing..

I ran to get the wipes and a new diapper, returned and very carefully pulled Hyrum out of his bed, set him on the ground and started cleaning him up, too the diapper off and put him in the bath. After the bath I stripped his sheets, his blanket and got it ready to wash, then I got busy cleaning the crib railing..

Luckily, I had enough time to jump in and get a quick shower before Heather dropped off Tristan...

I can proudly say that I have cleaned up one of the worst messes I think a parent can ever experience.... but I'm still new at the mommy thing.. so, there might be a few more surprises for me in the future..
