Just for fun

Let the record show that on this day, the 23rd of December, Mitch rolled over for the first time! I didn't capture this developmental milestone on camera, but I wanted to write it down so I wouldn't forget. It was so cute. It all went down when he was chasing the package of wipes. I moved it away from him because he's hurt himself on the sharp edges before. I think he likes the crinkly sound that they make because he wanted to keep playing with them, and rolled over! The fun came to an end when he landed on his tummy, which he hates, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth (gums) commenced.

Mitch is also becoming much more vocal. He often combines consonants and vowels. His favorites right now are words that sound alot like "mama" and "hi". What can I say, I'm a proud mother.

Mitch is not completely perfect, I must admit. He might have to get a helmet in the next month or so. His head just isn't rounding out the way it should be. Dang it. He is also struggling with goopy eyes and cradle cap on his face. We're still crazy about him though.

Mitchell and Todd both had special days on the 17th. Mitch turned 4 months, and Todd turned 27. Mitch got his 4-month shots to celebrate and Todd got a Tucanos lunch and we saw the movie, "The Blindside"- very good! Thanks for babysitting Kenna! Mitch weighs 16.9 lbs and Todd weighs 170-something!

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Mitchell enjoying a nap on his tummy. Don't worry, I was sitting by him the whole time. He's still breathing.
For some reason, Todd thought this was a picture-worthy moment.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mitchell enjoyed his first Thanksgiving with his Grandma and Grandpa Reeder in Idaho. Todd's Uncle Larry took us for a ride in his plane. I had my first Black Friday shopping experience. I went with my sister-in-law, Kisha. I think I'm a convert! I got some great deals. Mitchell did great on the trip both to and from. He slept the whole time except to eat once. Thanksgiving was yummy, except I forgot the sugar in the Pumpkin Pie. Whoops. Everybody needs a pie story, right? It was very enjoyable to spend Thanksgiving with each other, Warren's family, and Todd's parents. Ohhh....cute!

One of my favorite parts of visiting Todd's family is getting to visit one of my best friends, Natalie, who lives in Nampa. She and I were roommates at BYU-Idaho. Love you Natalie!
