Baby Tongue!

Baby Update: Tray has a new found obsession with his tongue! Its so funny! It just started this last week. He'll just stick his tongue out to the side and let it hang there. Its so cute. Everytime he does it we laugh at him so he now thinks its really funny and loves the attention. He tries sticking it out really far to reach things he decides he wants to lick, which I have to admit is super funny to watch. He has such a fun goofy personality. His other new tricks are grabbing EVERYTHING. Clothes, hair, jewelery, food, etc. Attempting to eat EVERYTHING. Clothes, hair, jewelery, food, books, paper, walls, shoes, etc. Diving after anything that looks interesting and scaring Mommy to death. And farting on peoples laps and looking at them and laughing. :) He's so silly. He is 7 months old today! That just seems so crazy to me. He is growing like crazy. He tries to scoot now when on his belly, and hes learning to stand on his own. He stands against the couch or a chair or the back of the church pew. He'll smile and laugh at just about anyone. He is very friendly. He is eating more solids too. We try new things every week or so. We have learned so far that bananas and peas do not agree with him so much. He does however love apples, carrots, avacados and sweet potatoes. I'm very happy he's such a good eater.. He's super messy! But definitely a good eater. He has also found his ears and finds them quite entertaining. He'd pull on them all day if I would let him. One of these days I'm afraid he'll just pull them right off. :) He is starting to make some new little friends in our new ward. Most of the babies are older than him which he's not used to. He's used to playing with his little cousin, Emry. So when these older babies start grabbing at HIS face and taking HIS toys he's not sure how to respond. Its really fun being in a ward with so many young parents. We're really enjoying it. I was told today about a play group some of the mommies in the ward do every tuesday. I'm very excited. I love having a reason to get out of the house and I am looking forward to making some new friends. All in all things are going pretty well out here. Wyoming is really starting to grow on me :) I love when Darren and I have a chance to get out and get to know the area. The other night we went bowling which was a lot of fun. I kicked his booty! :) And Tray loved all the neon lights. Here in Rock Springs they have lots of stuff the do during the summer. Most every night there is something going on. Barrell races, motocross races, stock car races, rodeos. We're excited to have so many fun things to do.

Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy mothers day to all the wonderful mothers out there! And all the soon to be mommies! I love this holiday! Being a mom is the best! Darren made me breakfast, which was wonderful. Then he helped Tray make me a present. And a little bit later he will be making dinner.. so awesome. I am currently waiting anxiously to talk to Sarah today. I'm so excited! Well we moved again! But this time we will be staying put. We signed a lease and everything. :) We moved to Rock springs, which is about 15 miles East of Green River where we previously were. The FedEx terminal is here is Rock Springs and Darren loves being closer to work. We now live right above our brother and sister Devin and Rachel. Which is lots of fun! We stomp on the floor and they bang on the ceiling. Its great! Tray and Emry get to spend lots and lots of time together which I love. Well its been a very long time since I have posted and a lot of stuff has happened. Along with moving into our own place, which I couldn't be happier about, we've been back and forth to Ut a TON! We went for Devin and Rachels sealing which was wonderful. Darren was asked to be a witness and I got to hold little Emry over the alter. It was incredible! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day guys! We also went back there to buy a new used car. We bought a rodeo which I thought I would love but its stick and I am not such a fan of stick when there is a baby in the back. It gets complicated. So we'll probably be selling it and getting something else at some point in time. Then Tray and I went down for the week to visit family and to go to his 6 month check up. He is now 15 lbs! Yay! Up to the 12th percentile. It was so good to hear that he is back on track. I don't think he'll ever be one of the fat babies though.. he'll always be tall and skinny like his papa :) He is growing so fast though. He loves jumping in his jumperoo. He will jump for an hour non stop. Its wonderful! It give me a chance to get something done. He also loves watching finding nemo. Its his favorite. He is now eating some solid foods which is a lot of fun. We decided not to do baby cereals just yet. He eats apples, carrots, and now avacados, which I prepare myself (which is a super huge pain in the butt but a whole lot cheaper!). He loves it! He gets really jealous when were eating and don't give him some big boy food. Its so much fun to see how much he is growing and developing. He is sitting up now and rolling over. He's a little late with the rolling thing.. He just never showed any interest in it. But we have been working it a lot and hes doing great! Anyways we were able to go to Quinny and Cassies play which was so much fun! They both did awesome! Then we went and visited my favorite cousin Andi! Tray had alot of fun getting to know his cousins Jared and Derek. They were really cute with him. Especially Jared. He took it upon himself to entertain Tray whenever needed. Then Darren went back down to get our stuff so we could get all moved in. We finally unpacked the last of our junk last night. It feels soo nice to have our own place and all of our own stuff here with us. It finally feels like home! And the ward is awesome.
