What We've Been Up To

Now that Carter and I have made a significantly cuter person, all pictures on this blog will be of him. :) I just have to show you all what we've been up to this month, from Will's perspective (which isn't a whole bunch of exciting things, but he looks cute so that makes it interesting.)


I have been looking adorable in my bunny suit (which is now a bit squishy on me and mom is sad)


My neck is getting so strong, this picture was taken a few weeks ago and I'm even stronger now. hooah!


I have made two visits to Great Grandma Harward's house. This is the first time we met, I was a bit out of it.


I LOOOVE my daddy. When he walks into the room I don't let him out of my sight. Taking naps is something we like to do together.


I am an expert smiler and am getting better at laughing too. I like to smile during diaper changes, so here is a picture of the pretty end of that activity.


Baths. I have mixed feelings about them. They're fine until we get to the face and neck.


I look adorable in hooded towels.


I also look adorable when I'm all ready for bed with my jammies and soothie.

Well, that's all we've been up to. You can see in these pictures how much he's grown over the past month and a half, it's happy and sad at the same time. My mom always told me not to grow up, and now I know where she was coming from. Oh well, c'est la vie! We're having so much fun watching Will discover new things, like his hands, which he now stares at all the time and sucks on non stop. He's getting better at sleeping through the night (wa hoo!) and is eating lots. We are looking forward to Christmas and hope you all have a very merry one as well.

Will's First Walk

Well today was a gorgeous fall day outside, (this means the sun was shining, not that it was warm in any way) so Will and I decided to go for a walk. We've been bumming around the house for the last three weeks and so this outing was long overdue. This technically isn't Will's first walk, we've gone in the stroller up to the clubhouse quite a few times, but I don't count that as a real walk, it takes less than a minute to get there. Anyway, the Provo Canyon trail is just outside our door so we figured we might as well use it. What I didn't know is that there are three different marked trails going around the Riverwoods! So we came across the trail head sign and decided to do a 1.13 mile walk, it's good for starters. Most of the trail went right along the Provo River (see picture below) and it ended right at our doorstep! How perfect! We had fun crunching the leaves under the stroller, even though it got kinda loud at times and disturbed the one of us that napped through the whole thing.
I have a goal to not only reach my pre-pregnancy weight, but my pre-"dating Carter" weight, which is pretty lofty because before I started dating Carter I had no life and spent 2 hours a day at the gym... so we'll see. But we have a gym and pool being put in at the clubhouse so that'll help. I'm very excited to get back into shape and I have enough time before next swimsuit season! Hooray!
