Boo Boo

How can you not love this boy?  He is such a sweetheart.  And he is still such a good baby.  Always has been and I pray, always will be.  Trent and I call him "Boo Boo."  I'm not sure why, it just started one day and hasn't stopped.  (But I hope it doesn't stick, cause I love the name Heston.  I guess I need to start by calling him his name.)  Heston is a happy boy.  He is very chill.  He is loving his toys.  He grabs them and plays with them and throws them around.  He has been eating rice cereal and fruit or veggies for about a month.  It took him a few tries to figure out how to swallow it down, and now he loves it.  He loves his hands to be played with.  He loves soft things in his hands and he covers his face with a soft blankie to fall asleep.  He is definitely getting more generous with his smiles.  He is getting good at laughing too.  His dad is good at getting him to laugh.  It's so stinking cute.  I love it with all my heart.  At 5 1/2 months he weighs 18lbs 5ozs. 26ins. long. He's not super chubby, but he is a big solid boy.  Although, his cheeks are pretty chubby and lovable.  His eye lashes are not just lovable, but to die for.  He is starting to get some new hair.  It's totally blond. 

For the last few months I've been working at the eye Dr.'s office.  It has been such a blessing.  I love it.  I work a couple days a week and I get to spend the rest of the time with my sweet boy.  It was a hard decisions to leave the detention center, but I am happy with the one I made.  It really has been such a blessing!

Melt my heart!

He already loves books.  He just eats them up.

My sweet sweet boy.

To die for lashes.

EASTER!

Our busy Easter week started with a trip to Mesa Verde.  It was Heston's first time to see some ruins, and he was so excited. (as he snoozes away)

We took a little stroll to the Spruce Tree House ruin.

My mom, Michele and I met my cousin Tanya and her family in Cortez and we all went to Mesa Verde together.

On Saturday, we, and by we, I mean all the cowboys and city slickers, had a bunch of calves to brand. And this bunch of boys, I'm sure, were a lot of help.

Hanging out after branding, waiting for the picnicking and egg hunting to get underway.

There were well over 70 people there to "help" brand. 

And then it was time to relax and picnic and eat and hunt eggs.

David is trying to contain the kids while the 500+ eggs were being hidden.

Apparently David let one slip by him, littler sneaker got a head start on the egg hunt.

Heston wasn't into the Easter egg hunt, but he had some cousins that shared their goods.

I thought I better document this moment.  Keaton on a horse!!!  He use to steer clear of the horses.  What a cute cowboy he is.
