A Hike, Pressing Apples & a Few New Pics

Two weekends ago, we decided that we HAD to get out and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather, before it got freezing cold! What better way to enjoy the great outdoors than hiking in the mountains? We hiked 4.2 miles, from Little Cottonwood Canyon over the top, and into Big Cottonwood canyon. Tyson carried Ethan in the Bjorn, and I carried a backpack full of diapers, burp cloths, snacks, and a camera... Ethan loves, loves, loves being outside, it is so stimulating and he didn't make a cranky peap the entire hike.

Over Conference Weekend, we went to Vernal with our friends, the Smarts. Tyson's parent's farm has pretty good sized apple orchard and our tradition is to go out and pick the apples, and then press them to make the best apple juice you'll ever taste in your life! Un-pasterized, no preservatives or wierd ingredients, just 100% apple juice, YUM! It's a lot of hard work, but the end result is totally worth it! We listened to conference while we picked and pressed, it was such a fun weekend!

Ethan did really well, he practically lived in the Bjorn or his carseat, but he was so good for us! He turned 3 months old while we were in Vernal... 3 months! I can't believe my little baby is getting so big... fastest 3 months of my life!

Couple of 3 Month Milestones/Favorites:

Rolling from his tummy to his back, left and right, before it was only right (at 6 weeks), inches forward when he is on his tummy, he likes to push with his toes, loves to eat his hand, tries to fit both fists in a the same time, becoming a true slobber king, sleeping 8-9 hours at night (hallelujah!) weighing in at close 17 pounds, my little chunck, always full of smiles, getting more ticklish each day, starting to giggle and laugh outloud, loves bath time, he is kind of a momma's boy, and he is sitting up to the table in his high chair, too cute!
