Christmas

We really enjoyed our Christmas this year. It was fun to watch Boston. He favorite was the ribbon and paper. Here he is his having his first ever bubble bath. Boston loved his bubble bath. It makes bathtime even more exciting. He also put on his Sunday best to lounge on his new doggie pillow. A nice relaxing afternoon after helping mom in primary. The best has to be this video of Boston enjoying the floating balls. I bet you didn't know it was so amazing.

Holidays!

So I haven't blogged forever so here is a bunch of pictures to get you caught up on the Elggren family.

We went down to St. George for Thanksgiving. We had a great time. We ate a ton of food. This is a gingerbread house that we made while we down there. The roof weighted so much that it required some extra support. We played games every night. I am proud to say that I did win a game of Scrabble. The cousins loved playing together all day long. I thought they would eventually get tired, I should have known better.

Boston absolutely loves to play with blocks. If you build something, he will knock it down. The cousin were getting frustrated, because they would build a tower and Boston would just knock it down.




We went to a Christmas party at the clubhouse. I was surprised at how well Boston did when he sat on Santa's lap. He did cry, which is expected. He however didn't scream. He won't let anyone hold him other than mom and dad. Here are some really cute pictures I got at the party.


I decided to have some fun, so I put reindeer antlers on Boston and me. He thought it was hilarious. He even left them on for more than two seconds.


Here I am getting some Boston snuggles. They are the best snuggles around! Man I love that kid. Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy this holiday season. I know that I am enjoying myself.

1st Birthday!

Boston is now one! We had a fun get together with the family. When it was time to open presents, the cousins and parents were more excited about the presents than Boston. All Boston cared about was the ribbon. I guess I know what to get him for Christmas. He didn't care too much for his birthday cake. He just started crying when his hand got in the cake. He was very tired and probably overwhelmed. We had a blast celebrating a few of the many October birthdays we have.

We took some fun fall photos with Boston and our pumpkins that we grew. It was hard work growing those pumpkins and we only got three. One for each family member.


We took Boston in for his regular doctor checkup and he is still super tall for his age. He is in the 90th percentile. They don't really make baby clothes for his size. Most of his clothes are wide on him, because he is skinny. Some of his pants only stay up, because of his diaper. Man I love that kid! He is such a cutie!

On The Move

Boston is now on the move. He doesn't crawl. He scoots on his behind. He follows Gizmo around and he follows me around. It is so nice, because now every time I leave a room, he doesn't freak out. Now, he just follows me.
Here is Boston in his cute new jacket for fall. We are enjoying fall. He swung on a swing for the first time. At first he was nervous, but then he got used to movement, and loved it.

Turning Tale

Boston has discovered a new way to get his toys. He turns in a circle while sitting down. Now if there is something behind him he just turns to grab it. He tested it out in the kitchen today and found the door stopper. He would fling the door stopper and it would make a noise and he would start to cry. Then Gus-Gus thought that was cool and he started playing with it. Meanwhile Boston is crying every time the door stopper would make a noise.

Here is a cute new family photo!

We got Boston a kiddie pool. He loves to splash and play in it. He has been spoiled and only will play in it, if the water is bathtub warm.

Sun Valley

We had a family reunion last week in Sun Valley, ID. We had a blast!


We went boating on Red Fish Lake. The water and the view was magnificent. I rode on the inter tube in my street clothes. That's right folks in my regular clothes. It looked so fun and my swimsuit was on shore, so I just went for it anyway. Luckily for Tony we stayed dry or he would have had three angry women mad at him.



We even managed to get some family photos taken while we were there.

We played miniture golf at a real golf course on real grass. It was tricky, but fun. The sun was too much for Boston. It wore him out and he was ready to head back to Utah at that point. The next day he was grouchy and wouldn't sleep. Once we got home dude was happier then the cookie monster eating cookies.

Having fun in the sun!

We went to the Doctor for a regular check up a few days ago. Boston is in the 75% for height, 25% for weight, and 15% for his head size. He didn't get his dad's head size. Future NBA star with his height.
He still isn't crawling yet, but he can roll around and cause problems. I'll put him down by my feet and the next thing I know he has rolled over by the tv. He also has started this new grunting noise. He will be playing or eating and he will start grunting. I guess he's telling Gizmo and Gus-Gus who is in charge.
We have been swimming a few times this summer and Boston totally loves it. He lays in his floaty and just relaxes. Then when I take him out of the floaty to hang out in the pool, he kicks his legs like crazy and splashes. I just love spending time with him. We are having a great time this summer so far.
