Naughty little Naked

This afternoon I went in to get Whitney from her nap....this is how I found her!! Maybe I shouldn't let her play in her crib for so long (5 minutes) after she wakes up.


This is my solution for now, but if it keeps happening, then I will have to make sure she wears a onesie under every outfit!

5 Things about Whitney

1. Whitney is now officially walking, and now trying to run. At her 18 month check-up she was average for her head size and height, but in the fifth percentile for her weight. She eats so much that it’s hard to believe. She has insisted on using a spoon by herself from about 14 months old, so now she's a pro at eating using her own spoon and she rarely spills.

2. Whitney is starting to talk a lot more. She has learned some new words recently for example: more, ball, blanky and baby. There are so many more it is hard to think of them all. It seems like her vocabulary has thripled in the last month.

3. Her hair is starting to grow...finally. The other day I put a clip in it, but she kept taking it out, but then wanted it back in again and again.

4. I think Whitney is almost ready to be potty trained. She tells me when her diaper is wet or poopy(or when she's about to poop) and leads me into her room so I can change her. She's scared of the big potty, so I'll have to get one her size. Any advice from those of you who have potty trained already?

5. At our new house we have an inground trampoline and Whitney loves to "Jump Jump" on it. I was able to get a video of it:

Moving: Home Tour

We moved to Orem, about 20 minutes north of where we used to live in Springville. We made the move because we wanted a more central location to everything. The move was hard because we have a lot of stuff, and being pregnant…my back hurt for a week!! Our house is about the same layout and size as our old house except we don’t have a bonus room which is why it's been hard to fit all our stuff. I am having a garage sale asap to make room for Brig’s car in the garage!
A little about our house…the kitchen is updated, the carpet is decent and I like the two-tone paint on the walls and trim. There is a full bath off the master bedroom, and off the hall there is a half-bath which can connect to the full bath through a door. Our guest room is quadrupling for an office, craft room, and exercise room because we don’t have a bonus room to put the office and exercise equipment like we did before. We also have a mother-in-law apartment in the basement. We are renting it out to a few of Brig’s friends. They are nice guys, and so far good renters. I would share pictures, but you all know what a pigsty looks like :)

Playing Catch-up

The last month of our lives has been filled with family reunion vacations, and moving. I am finally able to settle down and tell all those who care what has been happening in the Dunn family for the last month in the next few posts. The next post is about our Reunions, I will post about our house in few days.

SOWARDS REUNION:

There were so many other people taking pics that I didn't think about taking any myself. Hopefully I can get some more pics from other members of the family.

In mid-July we all met at a Cabin in the Mountains of Heber. AZ. The cabin was huge so all 13 adults and 14 grandkids fit comfortably. My sister-in-law Joyce was in charge of coordinating everything. We had an S.O.S. theme (Sowards on Survival) where we all planned survival classes to teach to everyone. Grandma had crafts or activities for the kids to do each day. We were each in charge of a dinner and a breakfast too. We made Steak and twice baked potatoes for dinner and waffles, eggs and bacon for breakfast. There was a volleyball court, a hammock, and swing set and a zip line. We had a great time!

DUNN REUNION:

At the end of July and the beginning of August we went to Lake Powell in southern Utah. We stayed on 2 house boats for four nights and 5 days. There were 20 adults and 7 kids, so it was a little cozy, yet comfortable. I took it upon myself to plan and buy the food for everyone’s dinners. I had fun planning it, but doing it was a little more stressful then I thought it would be. During the day, someone would drive the house boats further into the lake while others went out on the ski-boat and jet-skis. At night we would dock the boats together and enjoy company with the family on the other boat. Whitney loved the water and enjoyed swimming, but didn’t like her life jacket too much. We had fun and are glad we went.

We're having a GIRL!

We hope you voted right!We found out today that we're having a GIRL! We are soooo excited for Whitney to have a little sister to play with. The ultrasound went great and she looks healthy and she is growing right along with her due date(eventhough I look further along). Hopefully we can come up with a name before she's a week old :)
