Creed's first talk

Last Sunday was Creed's first opportunity to give a talk in Primary at church. I absolutely love it when my kids give talks. It is one of my favorite mommy moments. I also love that it teaches kids to be confident in front of a crowd and gives them lots of practice in public speaking. What a great foundation for life. Creed's topic was "I came to this earth as part of a family." He did great, wasn't nervous, memorized some of his sentences and held up his pictures with pride. Cam even recorded some of it with his cell phone. Not sure that's kosher but yea, sometimes we are those parents. Sue us!

Sorry the recording is awful. You can't even see Creed, our primary is huge so Cam is standing pretty far back, and as we all know cell phones don't have that great of zoom.

For those of us who love to craft and make homemade things especially if we want to be able to share them with others. Or even if you are the lucky recipient of such treasured items. This is a cause worth fighting for. This bill could ultimately change the face of the great american tradition of local craft fairs.

Another month come and gone!

I normally would refuse to show this picture. But for the sake of callans first time in a pool I am making the sacrifice. He really didn't do too much swimming. But his toes and feet were dangled in the hot pool a few times.

4 months already! Sometimes I wish there was a pause button. Time is going by so quickly with my little man. So what changes have happened this month. Well not much! I wish I could say he was sleeping through the night, but we are not even close. And I mean not close at all. I am not sure how some babies do it. Mine for some reason just don't! We did make progress though. Normally my babies don't leave my room until they sleep through the night, but he is such a noisy sleeper I just couldn't take it any more. So he moved into the crib in his room. I also hoped that he would sleep more, instead it just means I get to drag myself out of bed around 4 times a night!

The boy is working diligently on his abs, he is always trying to do situps when you lay him down. He is also very close to rolling over. That will happen here shortly I am sure. He is constantly smiling at everyone which is so much fun. And we have officially gotten some laughs out of him. No shocker here, but Mackguire was the first one to achieve this. Callan can't take his eyes off that boy. One thing Cal hasn't decided yet is if he is going to be a pacifier baby or thumb sucker. I thought this was usually determined by this age but he seems to try out both and continues to weigh his options. I guess we will have to wait and see which one he decides is best. I am for what ever makes him sleep through the night!
