Last Wednesday my Mom and I went to visit my sister, Melodie, in Ohio. Mel is 6 months pregnant and we wanted to help her get her baby room fixed up and ready for the baby. She's having another boy, so it was all about blues and greens. We took the crib bedding and used it as the theme that inspired the paint colors and the accent wall. The colors we picked looked really cute together. We were really happy with the results.
While we weren't painting we watched Gene(Mel's 20 month old) and Whitney play together. Whitney has started to sit up on her own, at least for a little bit before falling over. Gene would make her laugh so hard that it was hard for her to keep her balance. Gene is going to be a great big brother.
We went fishing up Provo Canyon, or some canyon right next to it. It was kind of a double date with Brig's friend Andy and his date, her brother and us. The drive was beautiful! The mountains are so colorful this time of year. When we left that afternoon it was still pretty warm outside. But when we got to the canyon lake it had gotten really cold. Luckily, I had left a few blankets in the back of the car and so we were able to use those to keep warm. We were there for at least an hour, but didn't catch anything. Other people around us caught lots of fish, so I don't know what was wrong with us. I was skeptical about the trip at first, but it turned out to be fun, besides the fact that Whitney cried almost the entire hour ride home. Poor baby, she was so tired!
For the last few days Whitney has been buzzing her lips together, spitting and making bubbles. It's really cute. We don't know why she does it because she has started to do it all the time...when she's happy, mad, sleepy, bored etc. I heard that when babies and kids learn something new they do it over and over again. I guess it's true with adults too. Here's a short video of our Bubble Baby.
