Monster Bash

The weekend before Halloween we went to the Monster Bash in SLC with Ben, Sara, Kaidyn, Kylie, Rachel, and Tim. It was a free event that included making halloween bags, a petting zoo, riding ponies, making cookies, trick or treating, and music. The kids really enjoyed themselves. I think their favorite part was riding the ponies. Here are some pictures:

Food!

We started feeding Asher real food this week. We started with some oatmeal baby cereal and formula mixed together. He hated it. At first he was so excited. Then he figured out how nasty it tasted, and he just cried with every bite. We thought it might just be a first time thing so we fed him the same thing the next day. He still hated it and refused to eat it. The next day I decided to try sweetening it up for him by making it with pureed pears instead. He absolutely loved it! He has been eating it for breakfast and lunch every day since. He gets really mad now when it is all gone. I wanted to take pictures of his first time eating food, but our camera is packed away somewhere and we haven't found it yet. As soon as we do I am going to be taking his six month pictures too.

Asher 6 months

Asher is 6 months. At his six month checkup he was 15 lb 5 oz and 26 3/4 in long. He hasn't grown much since his 4 month appointment. Before he was in the 28th percentile for weight and 98th percentile for height and now he is in the 10th percentile for weight and 50 percentile for height. I guess he is just following after his siblings. We thought he might be our really tall one compared to the others.
He is still so good and loves to play with his siblings. At his doctor appointment we found out that he is allergic to soy in addition to the milk. We switched to Nutramigin for the few bottles that he has and he is doing much better. The doctor said he should be fine with milk and soy after he is 1 because he probably just doesn't have the ability to break up the milk and soy proteins right now.
I couldn't post just one picture. Both of these kind of show his personality. There were several more that I wanted to post to because he was being such a ham when I was taking his pictures.

We Moved

Joe started a new job on Sep 21st with NAI West in Utah.  We had a hard time finding a house but finally found one in Murray, UT.  I think it is a cute little house.  It is small, especially after living in the house in Meridian, but we really like it.  The landlord is selling it in six months so we won't be here to long.
