6 months

First of all I will try to be better about not just posting once a month when the little guy is 1 month older. I will try and update prior to what else is going on in our adventurous life. Otherwise. here it is..
TRUMAN is half a year old. he turned 6 months on February 7..

You gotta love that little smile. O and those rolls yes yes we love our chunky baby mmm mmm lol. 

Here are some stats since we got to go to the doctor this month. He was so good with his shots Grandma Bev got to enjoy holding him while he was poked. Were all checked out and happy and healthy.

Height: 26 3/4  (50%)

Weight: 17 lbs (50%)

Head: 43 (30%)

--Truman your the greatest. Being a mom has changed my life forever, its a definite change can i say that again and again its a good change but HARD yes its HARD.. but its worth it. However since you were 8 weeks you blessed me with 10 hours of sleep each night. now you sleep 12 hours at night and take two, 2 hour naps one in the morning one in the afternoon. and sometimes a little cat nap in the late afternoon. you can roll over and "creep" as they call it.. crawling comes after. We love to make you laugh and talk a lot. Your also a very good listener.  Happy 6 months your growing so fast!

5 Months

Rolling over and over and over again. Rice Cereal Your becoming a champ at slowly but surley. I dont know exactly how much you weigh but I know your growing 50 percentile across the board thus far so I am not to worried. I am getting nervous for feeding you food. It seems like soooo much but? If only there was a guidline that told me how much what and when to feed you. sorry I guess we will learn together..(any moms out there that know of a guidline that says how much when and what to feed these little kids please fill me in) thanks! Happy 5 months Tru

Lots and Lots of pictures

Hey its been a while i realize. However I captured many pictures and will explain each one. Just in short, we went to Idaho for christmas, where there was not a speck of snow to be seen. Hello 55 degree weather it felt like we were in California. Anyway I will "let the pictures do that talking" but will explain as well.

a box of flowers and roses. I have saved all the bouquets and sweet flowers tyler has given me over the years since i was 14. As well as my bouquet from our wedding day. I just couldnt let  go. Then finally I decided a box of flowers was useless and I found myself never getting to the point of figuring out what I could do with all these beauties. so I through them out. and lets be real here flowers smell rancid after a while. So I took a picture to remember them and here they are

A very artsy feller? why yes indeed. I must brag about the fact Tyler know pottery? He took a class when he was younger and since his mom has a wheel we spent an afternoon while up there for Christmas to make a creation to hold our cooking utensils. it turned out to be a mixing bowl but hey its a start. Proud of you Ty

We gave Truman Rice cereal for the first time. I'd say he did quite well o the faces were priceless dont mind the girly bib, real men wear pink right?. (notice the wall mountings in the background. Yes my father in law is a hunter and that room is like a museum for children its awesome!

Tyler can be a tad bit overwhelmed and sensitive when it comes to changing our little man, this is proof. Suck it up ty be a man! haha just kidding love you 

can you ever capture enough pictures?

I know this is lame but apparently we had a lot of time on our hands. I wanted to feel what it was like for a child to be swaddled. SO Tyler and my mother in law Lani swaddled me I look like a mummy but ya haha.

the cousins helper Tru do tummy time

This is Samantha and she is LIGHT so we like to throw her around she was the only little girl around christmas week and oh is she a cutie.

                                                                       our little sheep

                                                          Christmas eve nativity scene

                                                              bah bahhhhh bahhh!!

                                                       little Jesus and Joseph

                                                                       first Christmas

                                                                 my two handsomes

                                                 so do men know womens sizes that a big fat NO.. well some men i should say. For a coat I am usually a size medium or Large. Now let me tell you this great christmas coat story. My father in law knew the same thing that his wife Lani (pictured above and below) wears about a size Large for coats. Did he know that Large at different stores is different no. So when he ordered this coat on the phone he told the people she's a large. So they sent a SIZE 20 people size 20. haha it was huge. we were laughing for quite sometime. it was a great christmas morning

                                                         look at how big that is!

                                         Brenan and luke with me on the quad love Idaho country

                                             Ty and I on the tramp

Tyler being himself love him.. can you believe the NO SNOW in the background

That was our Christmas Holiday and was filled with lots of fun and new adventures.. Hope ya"ll had a great one too!

its one thing

So its one thing.. I have a lot of thoughts up in this crazy mind of mind. I decided to write them all down. They are my thoughts and opinions and some straight hard facts about people,places, things etc. So read this if youd like if not its okay cause its almost theraputic to me.

The other day I read that someone has over 3+ journals that she writes in. WHAT a great idea. I say 3+ cause I cant remember the exact number. I remember in high school at girls camp we made journals. I made 2, one was specifically my spirtual feelings and thoughts. The other was drama, and the drama one i named boy journal. I wrote in it everything that would happen dealing with boys, probably more dedicated to tyler but mostly drama with girls and boys. Now it is HHAAALARIOUS to look back on. Therefore kendra oakden is my inspiration to start writing in journals again, I dont know if i will be like her and have 3+ but thats ok its worth a shot. I sitll have one from el salvador and in it i also have prior stories before ty and i got engaged and when we got engaged then I havent written in it for i guesss 2 years.. i need to catch up. I think i might type all of everything to catch up cause its faster even though hand writing is more unique and special.

Tyler and I just had our 3 years anniversary CRAZY.. and we have a kid wow I remember when we first kissed in front of the Briggs home. haha what a great memory. we went to the melting pot for dinner. not really aware of how much we were in for price wise. and after we learned we could have probably eaten at ruth's chris for cheaper. its ok it was a great experience. dessert of course was the best.

So its one thing (the title of my blog) because its whats been on my mind. It is one thing to brag about your children but then there is excessive bragging that just gets out of hand. Those people that are the excessivers <-- -is that even a word? they just drive me nuts (as my mom would say batty) anyway ya. I mean yes the great accomplishments your children make are great to hear about but when you keep going its just not polite
.     Did you know that it is NOT proper etiquite to always boast about the newest latest.. shoes,tv,$680000 car, etc that you got. It is known to be looked at as not polite. its just straight boasting and almost erragont. yes we all do it though.. I try to catch ourselves (tyler and I) before it happens. The polite thing to do is not say anything and if people notice great if they dont then they dont.. but please people DONT RUB IT IN other peoples faces. However yes of course if you land a new job or new house whatever it may be.. then yes.. and IF people ask whats new then sure..and of course blogging you put on there what you choose to its your blog you do whatever you want with it and people love to follow your lives and read about it soo BOAST about whatever whenever you want.... PLEASE dont make it the head of a conversation topic. IE: girl/dude i got these sick new shoes,tv,glasses,shirt.. whatever it may be BECAUSE.. like really how is one on the recieveing end supposed to respond to that? of course they'll be nice and say cool! but you never know if it can make them down/sad cause maybe they cant have new cool things like that too or they dont like your newest latest thing. Also, theres those who straight tell you they dont like whatever the thing may be. Thats their opinion yes BUT its rude that they just tell you straight up even if you didnt ask them, even if you did they should still lie unless you completely honestly ask for the dirty honest truth. IT's like when you know a child/baby is (not that cute) you still tell the parents they have a cute child..Your not going to say wow he looks...

COMPARING: who knew this would ever be a topic in my life. but honestly in the newest world i am in of kids there is like a "keeping up with jones CHILD" its RIDICULOUS.. I found myself starting to worry about tru like O my gosh hes not doing this yet hes not doing that yet. it was making me soo frustrated then i took a step back. are the people who are comparing doing it to make up for something that is wrong with their child.? or to make themselves feel better about themself? and even if there is something wrong no body cares or is going to judge you or look at them or you differently. SOO therefore If my child is NOT walking at 9-10 months its really ok because MOST kids I know start walking at 12 sometimes even up to 14 months. so if truman decides to not walk until he is even 2 or even at all its ok...at least he is happy and healthy. Also Every child is different just like every adult is different so why do people compare I have no idea. But I am puting a stop to it well i cant do it everywhere.BUT it will NOT happen in this family. Anytime someone asks or says "o he isnt doint that yet, wow! my child was doin that at his age i wonder why he isnt yet"? ahhhhhh! ill just simply direct the conversation elsewhere. and politely remind them every child is different..

David archileta is going to be serving an LDS full time mission. I assume HE has to stick to it now since he announced it at a concert on his tour, when he was in salt lake. so thats cool. My cousing would love to marry him when he returns, thatd be neet.

My DAD aka mcdreamy? yes mcdreamy haha that could come off weird/wierd? (i thought the rule was i before E except after C?wow i cant spell) since hes my dad.. however do you know this man

YAAA thats right! my dad.. DR.Tim Hansen is the new Chief of  the medical staff at Valley Childrens Hospital.. pictured with my mom Bev below! Anyway I am so proud of him..

ANYWAY. I realize this is by far the longest most random blog I have ever done. But it felt good to get everything off my mind written down. Also May I just say I love the Hollidays and the christmas season. This year we are spending it with the Hardy family for the first time and I am excited. It will be a new adeventure to see what its like with a different family yay! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy new year. For those of you who read this thank you for not judging!

You are no longer an Infant, and starting to be a baby. The kind that Hollywood makes you think your supposed to have right out of the womb. I must say I am loving it. You talk to us everyday with so much excitement and bring joy to your dad and I. You laugh and it makes your dad and I laugh too. How did we ever get along with out you here. Last night you decided what people have told us you'd do around this age, you woke up in the middle of the night laughed and talked to yourself, then fell back asleep. 
You are the greatest Truman. You know momma loves her sleep and you give her that blessing of sleeping 10 to 11 hours every night. 10:00 pm to about 9:00 am.
Your kinda short but that's ok you'll grow.

Height: 24 inches (25-30%)
Weight: 15 lbs 2 ounces (50%)
