New videos on the YouTube

I recently uploaded a bunch of videos to YouTube. You can watch them there, or you can pass, since some of them can only be loved by their parents and grandparents.

Here is a sampling that more of you might like:

4 Months

Notes:

• I don't think you can get any chubbier. I love it!
• This week you started to purposely grab things like blankets, toys, hair, jewelry.
• You love to laugh and giggle. You do it when you get your clothes changed because you are so ticklish.
• You wake up from the night laughing and giggling in your room and are so happy!
• You are very easy going. You love it when Katya interacts with you and tolerate her well.
• I think I figured you out. You either are poop, going to poop, or will shortly spit up/burp, when you get super fussy.
• You love sitting up.
• You love chewing on fingers and my wrist.
• You still love being held.
• You seem to be a total momma's boy and suffer from some stranger anxiety.
• Your smiles and giggles are wonderful!
  

Sunday Outing

Yesterday we decided to go on a drive after church. Our first stop was Murray Park. The news said Big Cottonwood Creek was flooding so we went to check it out. (Too bad we didn't go there later. The park was under 2 feet of water this morning and State St. was flooded in two lanes.)



Next we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon to see some more of the Creek. On the way back down, we saw our first ever wildlife in the canyon. Pretty cool huh?


To top off the day, we had a pretty sweet thunderstorm last night with amazing lightning. Kuddos to Jethro for getting the awesome pics.

That's not funny..

Obviously, Tenzing didn't think it was so funny.

Aren't they just so precious when they sleep?
