Our October

This has been an eventful month. Well, I guess every day is eventful with a little one.

It started out with Dawson being super cute ... don't worry, he still is!

Followed by a trip to South Carolina for conference. On our way, we witnessed a small neighborhood move.

Dawson passed out at grandmas.

Dawson and I found a new morning ritual. While I do my hair and makeup, Dawson watches the fan. I put scraps of fabric on there and turn it on. It usually has his attention long enough for me to fully get ready!

Then there was some more cuteness. Thanks Heather for the cute Halloween shirt =)

Followed by the Caegle's Dairy Corn Maize in Canton! I missed this place a lot, so we went with our friends and their two adorable girls. We had a blast, and you guessed it, Dawson slept the whole time!

But that didn't stop daddy from trying to play on the bouncy thing ...

Dawson and Kinnley.

Kinnley took more of an interest to Dawson, Dawson is still trying to figure out the concept of other babies.

Then a Halloween party that night. Aaron was a pharmacist, I was a prescription bottle, and Dawson was the pill. I thought it was fitting that he be crying in his pill costume. He was a perfect angel during the party.

Then there was some more cuteness. This is Sunday cuteness. Mmm mmm that boy is adorable.

There were some "Little Rascals" club signs.

Followed by, you guessed it, more cuteness.

The month ended with a ward Halloween party where Dawson was a horse (Thanks again Heather) and I was a cowgirl and Aaron was a student at home studying. but before the Halloween party, the boys took a little nap together. How precious.

I got pictures of Dawson on 9-27-11 and 10-27-11, his 1 month and 2 month marks, in the same outfit. How cool that he's already grown so much!

Hope everyone had a happy October!

It's Hard Work To Be This CUTE!

Mommy had to get a picture of me in my cute little overalls. Next week she may add a turquoise bow tie!

We had a ward activity and we had to wear our school colors. This is us sporting our BYU-I DO *I mean BYU-Idaho* getup

Mommy just loves takin pictures of me while I sleep. It's only because I'm SO CUTE!!

Mommy, PLEASE, no more pictures ...

It's hard work to be this cute ...

Here's a video of me snoring away ... I snore a lot!

My little sleeper

He's too cute when he sleeps =) He's out cold and snoring away!



Daddy says he sleeps like his momy ...

Rub a Dub Dub

Today was Dawson's first submersed bath! Still trying to figure out this little bath thing. It was GREAT for the sponge baths ... but he scrunches up so much, he would have drowned if I weren't holding him up! But now he's squeaky clean and he didn't shiver the whole time =) which makes mommy feel better. And Dawson felt much better as he spit up ALL OVER himself after his bath ... Oh well. We live and learn!

Grandma Nethercott sent an adorable fleece blanket and matching burp rags. Dawson seems to like the blanket =) Thanks grandma!

Musical Sunday

Today has been a rather musical Sunday. We got to church rather early and the choir was singing prelude. So Aaron took the baby and I joined the choir. Then in Relief Society I was asked to play the prelude and opening song. After that, Aaron and I attended ward choir. Dawson decided to sing too ... in his own special baby way. He was on the floor at Aaron's feet asleep and farting non-stop! Then after 45 minutes of singing (and Dawson farts) a brother leaned over and said "OH! There is a BABY down there! I seriously though Aaron was the one tooting this whole time!"

So ends our 1st day with day in the Brockett Ward Choir. I hope they'll let us come back ...

This is what Dawson wore today. I just HAD to put on those cute little shoes! I could eat him up!

Look mommy, I finally found my thumb!

I love taking pictures of him while he sleeps =) He's such a little angel.

Figuring Out This Mommy Stuff

Today, Dawson and I went to check our mail. Sounds like a simple task doesn’t it? Well. Not for me. First of all, we have 2 strollers. One is an umbrella stroller and the other is a big and bulky, folding Graco. Aaron took the car this morning, so our little outing required the Graco. “It’s ok, I can do this, I need to figure it out eventually right? After all, if I walk to campus to visit Aaron, this is the stroller I’d have to take anyways.”

I stuck Dawson in the stroller and headed out the front door. Then I realized it was a little chilly. So we scrambled inside and I grabbed a blanket. Then we scrambled outside again. Stairs. How do I do those? I tried a few different methods on the first few steps. No progress. So I unlock the door, set the baby in the crib, shut the door, and drag the stroller down the stairs with an accomplished grin on my face. Then I came inside and grabbed Dawson, locked the door and set him in the stroller. After running into more stairs and hills and bumps, we made it to the mail box and back and the process started all over again. I picked baby up and walked him upstairs, only this time, my neighbor (Whom I had never met before) asked if he could help with my stroller. What a kind man. He ran off to catch up with his friends, so I never got his name.

But is the real reason anyone will visit my blog now: Pictures of my little man =)

The ever-so-cute smile caused by gas. I just pretend he's smiling at me =D

Dawson Robert Nethercott

He's finally here. I used to make fun of the moms that ranted and raved about their children. Picture after picture went up on facebook. I totally see why now! I love my little guy and I naturally assume everyone else does too. So here I am, after emailing everyone I know and posting it onto facebook, I am posting is his e-announcement on my blog. Hope you enjoy!
