Two Months

Somehow Brady is already two months old. Well, he was actually two months last week. He is a good baby for the most part. He has started getting kinda fussy (ok, more like IRATE) when he gets too tired. We have to really stay on top of getting him to sleep in time, or things can get bad. But as long as he's rested, he is so much fun. He sleeps great at night lately. He usually wakes up once to eat, around 3 or 4. But he has already slept through the night (like 10 hours!) 4 times. :) He smiles a lot and already laughs when tickled. I'm soooo happy about this, since Mariah didn't laugh until she was a year old, and I completely missed out on that cute baby laugh sound.

Here's the little chubster.  He reminds me of Mylie, except MUCH fatter!  He weighed 14lb. 7oz. at his 2 month checkup, which is exactly what Connor weighed at 2 months. I love fat babies!

September

September sure flew by in a hurry! The highlight of the month was definitely starting school again.  The kids are all enjoying school and their new teachers.

Mylie is in 1st grade and has Mrs. Walk, who we already knew since she is Tony's assistant coach's wife. She's super nice and a great teacher! Mylie loves her.

Connor is in 3rd grade this year, so he is at a different school from Mylie now, Fort Bridger Elementary.  He likes going to the "big kid" school.  His teacher is Mrs. Proctor, who we had never met before. They're getting along well and he likes school, although maybe not as much as Mylie does.

Mariah got to start school this year as well! I am doing a mom's preschool with some friends again, and we have a fun little group of all girls this year.  We just go once a week, but Mariah thinks she is pretty big!

Mariah has adjusted just fine to having Connor and Mylie gone to school each day. Twice a week, I babysit my 2-year-old neice,  so she has a playmate those two days, but the rest of the time, she stays busy playing by herself (which she does VERY well), helping Mom, and loving on Brady.  She's a pretty happy girl most of the time!

Mariah built the Salt Lake Temple with blocks one day.

This year we got our best ever corn crop--about 150 ears!
