Bedtime Habits

My sweet little boy has NEVER been a good sleeper, but I am told neither was I so its just payback. Well.. yes im guilty he has always slept with us, I nursed him so it was so easy and I HATE getting woken up at night so life was good baby slept and so did I. Well now that he is 9 mths old and tosses and turns in the bed Brett and I decided it was past time to get him in his own crib, that I made such a fuss about getting. I had him a on great schedule before Brett got home from his last detail on the New Harmony Fire, and then I went to Salt Lake with the fam and he WILL not sleep alone anymore. So after LOTS of sleepless nights and crying for HOURS ( no joke he cried for 4 hours one night) and time spent in the crib with him showing him it was ok and safe we had no such luck. We were both just so exhausted and fed up, weren't quite sure what to do, but we knew we had to be strong and ONE day it would pay off. Well for now we have decided he hates his crib, he is sleeping in his pack n play in our room but not our bed, two nights ago he cried for 40 min, the next night we stayed in StG a lil nervous if we would make progress but we did. Only screaming for 15 min and tonight he only cried for 5.. WOO WOO! now if we can just get him in his own room this story would be complete.
This picture was suppose to be of Brett and Degan in his crib but when I ran to get the camera Brett jumped out so this is just Degan with a huge smile and tears, because he wasn't alone. Man I love this kid, can you see why we had a hard time saying NO!

Soccer in SLC

Last weekend Nic had two games in Salt Lake @ Westminster so we us girls and Degan got in the car and went to watch. He did awesome this was our first time watching him play with his new team. Degan's first time ever watching his Uncle Nic play, Im not so sure he loved it but we had fun anyways, we always do.


Friday afternoon, they played and lost 3-1 and then saturday we went up to park city and did some shopping at the outlets.


Sunday he had another game they didn't do so hot that time, but oh well. Monday Adams state played Dixie. It was really neat for Nic to play some of his old team mates, he made the Spectrum so that was fun. They Tied but I think they would of won had it not been for a PK that they made. I am very glad we got to spend some time with him, just wished Brett wasn't working so he could of joined us.S

The bestest son...

All of August (pretty much) it was just Degan and I.. and then of course we would spend alot of time in St.George at my parents so we could play with our friends and not be so bored. I will be happy when fire season is over so Brett can come back to us. and maybe I'll get a little break.. here are some pictures from the past little while. I sure do love this little boy he does the funniest things.. and I am not ready for him to walk but im sure soon enough there will be a video of his first steps.. When we are at Grandma's we hardly wear clothes.. so this is my lil one showing off his muscles. His first oreo.. (this was all Tera's idea)



Degan has been watching the dogs going in and out of the doggie door so he decided that it was his turn to try. I dont know why I didn't put my camera on video mode, but here are still shots of him going thru.








He is learning SO much and so quickly its amazing.
