Going back in time to: Vaughn the Cheetah

I had started to make this blog post well probably about 5 months ago but it was taking me too long and then when I came back to it, it was gone! This happened a couple of times and so I guess I just gave up. But - I just found that google had actually saved as draft for me and so I'm just now posting it. Here it is:

This weekend Kim and Aaron visited and it was great. We laughed, we cried, and ... Well actually just Vaughn cried, but not the whole time. And it was more like he moaned and groaned. This was in part due to his little digestive system being a little backed up after having eaten some banana the other day. You might say it drove him bananas. After not pooping for a day his diaper was probably 3 times the fullest amount it had ever been previous; ten THOUSAND times more than he could have hoped to have dreamed for ;) Hahahah. Anyway, he's feeling a little better now - and he won't be eating bananas again for a while.

Vaughn Videos

We moved. We're fairly settled. And here's what's happened in the mean time.

For some reason I keep getting this dang tonsilitis thing. After 3 1/2 weeks and two batches of antibiotics, I'm really frustrated because it's crept up again. I felt that I'd conquered sickness for good during the last three years, being cold, flu, etc. free. This leads me to Joe's theory: I'm being punished for having become too prideful of my good health. Maybe there's some truth to that. But I think that nursing is perhaps the greater culprit. So I've been improving my diet the last few days and have come up with a defensive plan. For those who are interested, read on: 1. Gargling salt water or Biotene multiple times a day. 2. Meal plans, seriously. 3. Even more water. 4. Bedtime no later than 9:45pm. 5. Cutting out sweets (for the most part). A few weeks ago we decided to make homemade brownies. One thing led to another and we ended up having to not double, and not triple, but quadruple the recipe. (And then we realized we were short a dozen eggs, on Sunday.) Well...I don't think that helped boost my immune system.

Also, (I'm out of time)


Baths.



Twins. Just look at them.


Bumbo. He eats his rice cereal sitting in this now.



Sucking BOTH thumbs.


Kalleen, I know you don't remember what the sweater looked like. That's ok. Here it is and look at how cute he is in it for church! :)


While visiting her children in Rexburg for Mother's week, Kathleen came by on just the right day to teach us some tricks for naps. It was great - She should be called the Baby Whisperer. Despite Vaughn's feelings about napping he still shared some smiles and laughs with her. It was delightful.


Here are a few short video clips:
