Going Private

After reading a not so funny story on a friends blog, I've decided to make our blog private. I don't want strangers to be able to find Nick, Neacel and I or to know things about us. If you want to see our blog please send us your email addresses. I'm thinking it will go private the 1st of May. Only a few weeks!

On a more positive note, Neacel is holding his own bottle! Wearing 6-9 clothing and talks a ton! He is also starting to pull his legs under him, stick his butt and the air and push himself up(which he can hardly do)....to crawl! Its going to be a while of course but he is trying!
We went to our new ward today and loved it. Neacel made himself known by all the noise he was making. Nick and I have never seen him that excited and spazzy! He was throwing himself around and making all the noises in the world....crazy boy! We really enjoyed our new ward and all the people. Even though it starts at 9am...ugh!

Don't forget to send us your email address if you want to see how fast Neacel is growing and all the fun adventures our little family encounters!

It's AMAZING!

Neacel is sleeping through the night!!!!
It took a few nights but the past few nights we don't hear him till about 7am and he goes to bed around 9! This is a whole new, and amazing world of sleep a happy boy and me feeling so much better!!! Thank you second bedroom. You have changed my life, I don't know how I lived without you.

Second Bedroom Tears

We are all moved in! Well, its not all unpacked but we no longer live there in Murray!!!! We are in a very cute basement apartment in Sandy and Neacel finally has his own room. After 5 vans fulls, a u-haul and 2 car fulls we finally did it. I can't believe how much JUNK we have. Perfect time for spring cleaning. I have been so excited for him to have his own room. Until the time came to put him into bed. We were watching tv and I started crying because I wanted Neacel in our room! I went in his room and checked on him and everything was ok so we went to bed. 5 minutes later I started crying again. What if I can't hear him cry with the baby monitor? What if I don't get to him quick enough and something is wrong? Every problem that could happen did happen, in my head of course. He was up every 2 hours last night and every time I went in there he was laying on his tummy with his head shoved in the corner. So I would lay him in the middle on his back and 2 hours later the same thing. I was so close to just grabbing a blanket and sleeping on the chair in his room so that I would be right there for him.
This has been so much harder then I imagined. I'm very thankful that he has his own room but at the same time I miss hearing every little sound at night. I did sleep better though...explain that one!

Does anyone know how I can get him to not get on his tummy at night and to not move around so much? He doesn't sit still and rolls over to his tummy but then freaks out because he can't roll over to his back. Any suggestions? I'm willing to try everything so that he and I both get better sleep. He moves constantly that I'm considering laying him at the very bottom of his crib so that he has plenty of room to move up!


Also, here are some of his 4 month/Easter pictures!
He wasn't to thrilled about some stranger trying to get him to smile and after about 30 mintues he was throwing a fit. We ordered the second picture....I think its the best smile and its just all around Neacel. Personality, the arm and all! I love this little boy more then words could say!

Nick and I are doing well. Im looking forward to the Britney Spears concert in a little over a week, and Nick recently started some more blogs. Nothing like his political one but the links are on here....I don't remember what they are for:-( This week I also get to start watching Jen's little girl Jaycie while Jen goes back to work. Jaycie is such a good baby so Im pretty sure nothing will change...Neacel will fuss and she will lay there talking!

Nick and I have 3 trips to look forward to this year! June we are going to Cleveland to visit my family. July we are going to San Fransico to visit my dad and then August or September we are planning (nothing is official yet) on going to Kanab to visit James and Kerri and their 2 little boys!

Feeding Time

We have started feeding Neacel solid foods, and so far that boy loves to eat. The Dr. said to feed him as long as he his hungry. Sometimes he will eat a 1/3 a cup of rice cereal/applesauce mixed, and still want more, so he will polish off a jar of pears or something. He also usually wants to wash it all down with a few ounces of formula. Here are some pictures of his eating:

Here is Neacel blowing rasberries, spraying his rice ceral all over Daddy.


Here is Neacel after a jar of prunes.


And here is Neacel showing his distaste for peas.

So far Neacel hates peas, loves pears, sweet potatoes and prunes, and is ok with bananas, carrots, squash, and rice cereal.
