Road trip

Well tomorrow is the big day, I am driving to Utah. It will take me about 12 hours. I am going with Byran's bosses wife. She has a 2 year old son, so this should be fun. I am really excited to see my family. Michelle (Byran's bosses wife) is going to drop me off in Pleasant Grove where my eagerly waiting mom and dad will pick me up.

I hope that this will be a smooth drive. Edison is a great traveling baby. He loves car rides. It will just be hard because I am not going with Byran and I don't have much control over the car.

Well if I don't blog in the next week or so you know I am having to much fun. I will try to write.

Time to play

Edison has this game he likes to play with me. I will give him a toy and he drops it. When I hand it back to him he drops it again. He thinks this is so funny. He is really starting to understand how to play.

Edison and I are going to Utah next week and I know both my parents and Byran's parents are going to have a fun time playing with him. I can't wait to see all the people who are in my parents ward. It is going to be great.

How time flies

I was looking at my pictures today and I can't believe how big Edison is. I seems just like yesterday that he was born. He is crawling everywhere and getting in to everything. Last night Byran could not believe how fast Edison was.


Now he is setting up on his own.

Disneyland

On Saturday Edison and I went to Disneyland with some friends. This was his second time going. He did not last long, but we where able to do a few things. We went on the Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruse and a few at California Adventure.

Disneyland was all decked out for Halloween. I have never been there for that. It was so cute. I recommend going for Halloween because they really change the park.

I am Lucky that I am able to take him to places that we might not have been able to do if we lived in Utah.

Trying to crawl

Edison is trying to crawl. He wants to be moble but he also finds it hard. He is also always tring to get up on his feet. Byran is very excited about this. Now we need to baby proof our home.

9 month checkup

This week Edison had his 9 month checkup. He had a shot, a TB test and had to have his blood drawn. I could not watch for any of them. When he went to get his blood drown I made Byran go with him. He screamed, they could not find a vain. I knew it would be hard but when you hear your child crying and can't help your heart just brakes.

This week has been nice a warm. It makes me think "...where is Fall?". This is the time of year that I miss living in Utah. There is one good thing about California, Disneyland is only 20 mins away. Edison and I will be going this weekend with a friend.
