Baby Food



So we have begun a "battle" of baby food. This little guy does NOT want to eat it. He delights in keeping his mouth closed, or spitting it out the second it hits his tongue. We discovered a little while ago that he LOVES Cheerios, He will practically try and eat your hand if he sees that you are holding a Cheerio. So I figued it out! I put a cheerio on the tip of the spoon with his baby food on it...and of course, he opened right up for it and didn't even try to spit it out.

Crazy baby...I can't help but love him :)

Hand-made Tag

you can thank my Sis in law Natalie for this....

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2. What I create will be just for you.

3. It'll be done this year. {it might be a little while}

4. You have no clue what it's going to be. I don't even have a clue what
it's going to be.

5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a homemade gift! It may not be great, but it will be fun!!* * *Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!**

Well it's been a few weeks since I last updated. Probably because I've been too preoccupied to get on and update.
Bekah got baptized on Saturday the 31st. It went really well. She was the only one in our ward getting baptized so we had to take care of the whole program. We asked her who she wanted to speak and it was Grandma and Mom. So Grandma Nilson and I had the honors. Bekah had a great day, she was very excited to wear a dress handed down in the Nilson family to be baptized in and a new dress afterward.




By the way, I have a very funny story about her right after she got baptized, but I don't dare put it in writing, so if you want to know you'll have to ask me sometime. ( sorry about the teaser)



(Mom has the camera out, we need a picture too!!)


In January, we also took some time and went out to get some professional pictures taken, I'll post those in a slide show for your viewing enjoyment.
I thought they turned out nice. We had to get pictures in before I started the next adventure in my life... braces! Yeah, you heard me right. Thursday I went in and got braces on. I am hoping this will help with my bite and jaw problems, and hoping to even out my teeth a little. So far, all I can think is, "What have I done to myself?!" This is going to be a long 16-21 mo months
