Four Months

Almost a whole month behind here, but at least I got it up before John hit 5 months. Haha. It is safe to say that month four has been the most challenging so far. A few weeks before Christmas John developed reflux and my wonderfully sleeping baby decided not to sleep any more. So for a month he was waking up almost every hour at night. That. was. hard. So after the holidays were over and we moved, we decided to sleep train. It is still a work in progress but at least I am getting more than three hours of sleep a night.
Even though this month was hard in the way of sleep, it has also been really fun. John discovered his laugh and smiles all the time! He thinks it is hilarious to get undressed on his changing table. He is so so close to rolling over and his neck control is a lot better. :) He turns his head and follows me around the room.
I love this little boy so much!

Thanksgiving 2016

We were lucky enough this year to have all of our family come to us for Thanksgiving! Tom and Margaret rented an Air bnb in Ogden. It was this beautiful historic house. Andy, Rachel, Rory and Sam drove down from Seattle and then Grandpa Burton and several other extended family members cam over from Logan to celebrate Thanksgiving day with us. 

There was a ton of delicious food! It was a lot of fun to relax and get away from all of life's responsibilities. 

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we drove down to Saratoga Springs to support Porter's baptism! It is so crazy to think that he is old enough to be baptized. I remember the day he was born and Elise calling me to come over to the hospital and holding him for the first time. He had all of this crazy hair. I think I was the first aunt to hold him or even possibly the first family member to hold him. It was so fun to see how excited he was to be baptized.
