4 Months/Big Catch-Up


The longer I procrastinate blogging, the longer these posts get, so get ready for a big one...

Here are Sophie's 4 month pictures. I tried to have her as clean as possible for them, but almost everytime I put a new outfit on her, she spits up on it. She also drools like crazy these days. So yes, there is a big wet spot on the front of her dress :)




Things have been great lately! My sister Ashley moved from Pittsburgh to Ephraim, UT! I couldn't be happier about this! (Well, maybe if she still wasn't 4 hours away from me...) We got to spend some time with them at my parents house, which is the halfway point between us.


Her adorable little boy, Jackson, insisted on wearing these gardening gloves because he was going to go work on building the new deck with grandpa :)

Sophie loves going to visit family because she hardly gets put down. Here she is sleeping in her Aunt Lexi's lap..


While we were at my parents' house I made these cake push-up pop things:


This is my favorite picture from the trip. It was taken with our phone so it's a little blurry..



Two weeks ago my parents came up to Logan for my cousin's wedding so they stayed with us. We went to a festival thing downtown, which was fun.

Here are my parents, picking out their henna tattoos...

ok, just kidding, they were looking at some halloween decorations :)

Sophie had a blast... can't you tell?



Here are some random bits about us lately..

Soph is in love with her hands. She stares at them all of the time!


Jonny and I always like to imagine what it would be like if adults acted like babies. What if we cried everytime we got a little bit hungry? What if we put everything within our reach in our mouths?

What if we....

always had our legs in the air?
haha.. babies are funny :)

Jonny's sister Kristen gave us a bumbo seat, which we love. Sophie looks so cute in it!





Family snuggle time is the highlight of my day :)


I realized that I have very few pictures of me since I gave birth. I guess there is something about being 65 lbs over your normal weight that makes you not want your picture taken :)

I am finally to the point now where I don't refuse to have my picture taken, so here it is.

I started my pregnancy 10 lbs over my normal weight (thank you, birth control pill). Then I gained a whopping 55 lbs over the pregnancy. I still can't believe it... But I am proud to say I have lost 45 of those lbs, and I'm not done yet!

So... Jonny and I are really enjoying Logan. He is in the middle of his accelerated business program, and really likes it. It will be even better though when he starts the HR program in the fall. He and some of my family got into the St. George marathon again, so he is training for that. It will be in October, and he is so excited.

I am currently looking for a job, so wish me luck with that!

And I'll end with one more picture of the bean. What a cutie!

Hahaha, henna tattoos, good one! So what would it be like to be a baby? I'm pretty sure I do all of those things with the exception of my legs always in the air. That would just be awkward. Anyways, Sophie is adorable, I like the pictures of her in the bumbo. And you look so good Alli!!!
