His latest trick

Here is Phoenix standing up. Also, a little update on Jury Duty. They excused me since I'm nursing, but I think that I am going to have it again next April. We'll see...

It's been a while...

I know I haven't posted in a while. Phoenix is getting so much more interactive and fun, but he also needs a lot more attention!! He's still rocking the 6-9 mo size clothes. He does fun things like laugh, roll over (sometimes), sit up, and now he can stand by himself if he has something (like the couch) to hang on to. It's crazy how quickly it all happens. We had a fun and relaxing Halloween. We took Phoenix into Cory's work dressed up, so he got a half day. That was pretty sweet (one of the advantages of working with a bunch of ladies). Phoenix was a pirate, as you can see from the pictures. We grossly underestimated the number of trick or treaters we would have so once we ran out of candy we went over to Cory's parents house and handed out their candy! Oh, and of course Phoenix had a huge blowout in his halloween costume at like 6 pm so I had to wash it and dry it really quickly before we went to grandma and grandpas so they could see him in it. Anyway, here are som pics. Enjoy.

Little White Tie

Here are pictures from Phoenix's Blessing Day. Check out his little white tie. I love it! Thanks to Grandma Erhard for making his cute white outfit.

Jury Duty

I just got called for Jury duty, Oct. 20th-24th. I'm kind of excited. It's my first time! Yeah!

My New Favorite Phoenix Pic

For Trenna

Hey Trenna, here are some more pics! We have had fun lately taking Phoenix to all kinds of new places. Most notably, the MK Nature Center, The Zoo, and a Hawks game. He's growing like a champ. He wears 6 month size clothes now and is still in the 95th % for height and 75th for weight. We'll see how long it lasts

A Tiger at the zoo. Cooler than we thought!

Phoenix at the Zoo. This was pretty much the only time he was awake, so it's the only picture we have of him.

Meerkats

Our neice Brynlee and the Zebra.

Brynlee at the MK Nature Center.It's hard to see w/ the reflection but there are a bunch of trout, salmon, and carp behind the glass.

Phoenix and I at the same place.

At the Hawks game again.

They did YMCA during the 7th inning stretch and he LOVED it! This is us still doing it after the inning started. He was great the whole time until the fireworks started. Then he got a little fussy but not crying. He's a pretty cool kid.

After a bath. I thought he just looked cute and funny with his towel on his head and his big round tummy.

Lately he's been pulling his blankets up by his face to do snuggles when he sleeps.

Family Reunions

We had the family reunion tour a couple of weeks ago. It was fun. Mine was in Island Park, ID Monday through Thursday and Cory's was at Pineview Reservoir in Utah Thursday through Sunday. It was nice to get out of town for a week! Phoenix was awesome, of course. He slept almost every minute that we were in the car. He loved it! We didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few... The first is Phoenix in the Newborn size hat that I bought for him for the trip. Huge!!!!

His first Hike! It was too rocky so we didn't get very far, but it was still cool.
