The Tangrens

The last four weeks have gone by so fast! At the same time it's hard to imagine what life was like without Hyrum being here with us (effects of sleep deprivation?) :-) He's growing so fast it seems like he changes everyday. Everyone keeps telling us how small he is, but he is so much bigger than when we brought him home from the hospital, we keep saying "Where did our little baby boy go?"

We blessed him last Sunday and as I feared he cried through most of the blessing. But it was great having Sunny's dad, my dad and brother in the circle to bless him. He also managed to fill his diaper halfway through the blessing which a few members of our ward commented on. :-) Shortly thereafter Sunny discovered our worst fear realized...he had exploded out the side of his diaper. One of our nephews dirtied his blessing outfit and so we had tried to take extra precautions to make sure that he was on empty for the blessing. But, he's still calling the shots so he does whatever he wants. However, I have become an Oxiclean believer. It's amazing! We soaked his outfit in it and it's spotless.





He has such a little personality and is already training us to do his every bidding. If we aren't feeding him (which he likes to do pretty much constantly), or paying enough attention to him, or he's tired of being in his little tux (see above), he has no problem letting us know!



We went up to a park across from the Mt. Timpanogas Temple after picking up some donuts at the local bakery (something we haven't done for a while) and just enjoyed the nice warm weather (where we snapped this photo of him sucking away on his pacifier)
