New Haircut

So this is the new haircut. It's hard to tell but my hair is purple and blonde. It's pretty short but so far I like it. I haven't done it myself yet so time will tell. What do you guys think?

Christmas Village

We got to the lights in Ogden every year with Ty's family. This year it was FREEZING! It was already like 10 degrees and then on top of that it was windy. It was so cold. So we wrapped Pratt up tight and made it through the place in record time. Hopefully next year won't be so cold.

Every year we pose with the carolers.

After the lights we go to Ligories and do a big dinner with all of the family. This year Santa showed up. It was Pratt's first time seeing Santa. Santa gave him a candy cane.

And this was Pratt's reaction. One day he'll love that jolly old man but not today.

News!

Pratt is WALKING!!!! Ahhhh! So far it's still very slow going across the room but he's definately taking more than a step or two. I hear it only gets harder to catch them from now on. Guess we'll find out soon!

Neglect

So I've totally been neglecting my blog and the truth of it is... I'm lazy! Granted I have to go to my mom's house to upload my pictures because of our ancient computer but that's no excuse. So The last month has been a bit crazy. Pratt is now 9 months old. He weighs 18lbs 3 oz and is 28 inches long. He didn't gain much weight in 3 months but he did gain 3 inches. He now has 2 bottom teeth. Teething is no fun at all. And right now he also has double ear infection. He has not been a very happy boy and I feel so bad for him. We in turn have not gotten much sleep either. He loves to eat but still gags when we feed him anything with chunks in it. He smiles a ton and has so many faces it's hilarious. He loves his dad and hates naptime. That could be a result of the trauma he's been going through lately though. He crawls EVERYWHERE. He pulls himself up on furniture and loves to let go and stand all by himself. He can stand by himself forever. He also walks around furniture all the time. I think pretty soon he'll be walking walking. He is so much fun and I feel so blessed to be able to stay home with him and watch him learn and grow.

We also had a great Thanksgiving. I feel like Heavenly Father keeps pouring down blessings to me. More than I deserve. I am thankful for such a wonderful supportive husband who loves me and takes very good care of me. I'm thankful for a beautiful baby who is mostly happy and content. I'm thankful for a roof over my head and for food on my plate. I'm thankful for great parents who continue to teach me everyday and great in-laws who love me like their own. Right this minute I am grateful for my screaming child because atleast I am able to have a child. I know I am blessed because I know of many who have not had that blessing yet in their lives. Above all I'm thankful for a loving Heavenly Father and for the atonement and for the gospel in my life.
