Mason's favorite snack

 This kid loves ketchup.

 He dips everything (grapes, chicken nuggets, carrots, etc.) in ketchup.  Then when he is done, he licks the plate clean:

So weird, but makes you smile from ear to ear.

Mason loves the rain

Mason LOVES rain.  Whenever it rains he yells "I love the rain!"  He loves to run around, getting wet as possible.  Puddle jumping makes this kid smile from ear to ear.

Sweet Kenzie

I found Kenzie reading to Aaron to calm him down.  It worked, she is the baby whisperer.

Temple Trip

We got to go to the temple this weekend and see our friends be sealed to their adorable son.  Thanks Akira for coming and being a part of our crazy.  She watched all 5 kids so both Anthony and I could go.  Temple trips for my kids mean: hotels, swimming, parks, and fast food.  I believe my children love temple trips.

Aaron 5 Months

This sweet boy is growing so fast.

This month he has learned how to:

 + sleep 8-12 hours straight

+ pull his binky out of his mouth

+ play with toys

+ grab everything

+ roll from back to belly, sometimes belly to back

He loves laying on his play mat, being held, or swinging in his swing.

This month he got eczema(easily fixed with hydrocortisone cream).
You smile and laugh a lot, but you still know how to get attention.  You occasionally cry inconsolably when we are in public.  You know how to get me to leave a store quick.

I love your big brown eyes:

 Your sweet smile:

 Spitting-up and drooling are 2 of your favorite past times:

 You like sucking your fingers better than your binky:

 You are smothered with love everyday:

This sweet, sweet baby is 4 months old.

Head Circumference:  43 cm

This month you:

learned to laugh

got your first hair cut

love sucking on both your hands

look and smile at everyone who comes near

wiggle your whole body in excitement when you are happy

love being held, your baby swing, and the mirror on your play mat

My absolute favorite thing about you is your sweet smile.  In the middle of the night when you stop eating, you look up at me with milk on your lips and give me the the sweetest, most sincere smile a kid can give.  You melt my heart. 

You have an ear infection in both your ears and are now waking up 4 times a night.

You are the hardest child I have had.  From reflux, dietary problems, to sicknesses, you always keep me guessing.  I love you to pieces, but sometimes you exhaust me.

Best Sunday Ever

 Today Aaron slept during all 3 hours of church.  He usually spends his Sunday's screaming, thanks for giving me a much needed break today.
