Fall Update

Well, here's a quick update with lots of pictures. We had a great summer filled with trips to Arizona, California, and Texas as well as family reunions and lots of fun. Fall brought us back to real life with busy schedules. Jason got a job as an autism aide at a preschool, so he gets to help autistic 3-5 year olds learn behavioral training and lots of other fun stuff. He also got another job working with BYU catering again which means he is super busy now. Sometimes several days go by that he doesn't even see William awake because he leaves early and comes home late. But we feel very blessed that he is able to work and save up some money for the dearth ahead that will be medical school.

Here are some picture updates on William:

3 months! William loves to smile and laugh. If you catch his eye and smile and laugh, he will too.
He does this cute sleep laugh where he smiles and his body shakes from sleep giggles.
When he sees you smiling at him he puts his hands to his face like he is being shy.

4 months! William is a very happy and content baby. He loves to smile!

5 months! Forgot the shirt though. Oops! At 5 months, William learned to sit up by himself!

6 months!
During this month William started army crawling! He also got his first tooth!

7 months!
William started pulling himself up to a standing position.
He learned how to crawl on his hands and knees and how to go from crawling to sitting.

8 Months!
At month 8, William had his other bottom front tooth pop through.
He also started sleeping for 12 straight hours most nights, which I loved!

9 months! He pulls himself up to a standing position and cruises all over holding onto the edge of the couch or whatever else is close. He has also become quite a speedy crawler. When he hears loud noises (vacuum, blender, hair dryer), he starts to cry and crawls quickly to me. He has never been a very cuddly baby, so I love that he comes to me for comfort.

In September, we went to Chalk the Block at the Riverwoods. It was really neat to see how talented people are. I was very impressed especially since I have no skills in the art department.


My friend who is 7 months pregnant did this one with her husband!

A few weeks ago we drove the Alpine Loop for Family Home Evening. Jason and I have wanted to do that for a while since he had never done it and it had been a while for me. It was so beautiful.






That's us for now! Happy Fall!
