October
Highlights from October
Anthony's family has a cattle ranch in Wyoming that we visit often. In October, the calves are weighted, loaded into a semi truck and sold to a feed lot. While Anthony worked the cows, Laughlin and I went for a walk. I wore him and explored a little. He slept most of the time and wasn't too impressed by the cows when he was awake.
Laughlin discovered his toes. Within a week, he began holding his toes to help him roll over on to his tummy.
4 Months Old
Halloween
I was an FFA member showing Laughlin who was my baby lamb. I hot glued over 200 cotton balls onto a onesie and the little guy hated it because I wouldn't let him eat the cotton. Anthony was Homer Simpson. I made him this mask in about 5 minutes. He won the costume contest at work.
A year ago on Halloween, Anthony and I wrapped up this jack-o-lantern onesie and gave it my family to announce Laughlin's existence.

4 Months Old
This was the last month he fit into the outfit we brought him home in. At his 4 month appointment, he was in the 5th percentile for height, 25th for weight, and 90th for head circumference.

Sept 28 - October 4
Monday:
Every time I try to read Where the Wild Things Are to Laughlin, he cries.
Tuesday:
I really think that with a little help Laughlin could fit his whole fist in his mouth. My fear of being that mom having to explain to an ER doctor why my baby's hand is stuck in his mouth is the only thing keeping me from trying.
Wednesday:
That moment when you realize you are sporting Grandpa's haircut.

Thursday:
Throw Back Thursday
This is one of my favorite pictures. I think Laughlin was about six weeks old.
Friday:
I took Laughlin to see a massage therapist to see if she could help him. His little back was out which was causing his colicky symptoms. For the first time pretty much ever, we can go on car rides without both of us crying.
Saturday:
This is how we watch conference.
Elder Uchtdorf is his favorite.
Sunday:
We had a great time with Nanna, Baca and Chandra today.

Sept 21-27
Monday:
Apparently tubby time is all fun and games until you get enough soap up your nose to blow snotty sud bubbles. Then all bets are off and its game over.
Tuesday:
Don't laugh at me: I thought little boys learned potty humor from each other and that's what made it so funny for them. Nope. Now that I have my own baby boy, I've learned that they inherently find farts and fart noises funny.
Wednesday:
I put Small Fry in the big bathtub (in half an inch of water) all by himself today for the first time. Who knew someone so small in so little water could thoroughly soak my bathroom? The little guy's breaststroke kick is excellent! Oh the tears when I drained the water and took him out.
Thursday:
This.
Friday:
I flew Laughlin around the bed like an airplane and tried to get him to drop spit bombs on Daddy. He wouldn't. He spit up on me instead and giggled. Joke's on Mom, it always is.
Saturday:
I need to stop saying each blowout is the biggest of Small Fry's life. I think he's now considering it a challenge to outdo the last one.
Sunday:
How was I ever happy before I married Anthony?
How did ever feel joy before I held Laughlin?
How did I could love unconditionally before both made me a mother?
