Johnny's Sworn In and Jack Cuts Two Teeth

Wow a few great things have happened just in the past few days!

Johnny was sworn in as an official full time fire fighter for Eagle Mountain.

I got to pin his badge on him which made me really nervous because everyone was watching me while I did it. But, I just had 5 inches cut off my hair and my cousin curled it for me, so I got to show off her handy work!

It's such a cool, shiny, heavy badge!

Oh, also worth noting, they are in the process of building the new fire station, so Johnny sleeps in a trailer!!! It's that nice single wide thing in front of the garage. But it will be done soon and then he can move into a brand new station!

I don't think he really wanted to be wearing the hat, but I thought it was cute!

My mom and I went to Silver Lake on a fun outing on Monday! We walked around the lake and up a trail for a little while! It was still so green and I had such a fun time talking with my mom. Unfortunately we, well I was driving, ran over a poor little pot gut on the drive up. I couldn't swerve an entire minivan to miss him. He ran in front of the tire at the last second and got smashed. I felt so guilty. On the way down, the car in front of us caught one too. Not a good day for pot guts!

Grandma Tani was very generous and gave Baby Jack a bouncer. It is officially Baby Einstein so he must be smarter just by sitting in it! He loves it! He especially loves spinning frog over the mirror!

I am very pleased to report that since we have started him on rice cereal, he has gone to bed earlier and slept longer! Oh what a joy! Last night, he slept for almost seven hours, ate, and then went back to sleep again. I am so much happier with sleep!

One of his other new favorite activities is drooling! He drools all over everything! He is biting whatever he can get into his mouth and I really thought he was teething. My doctor said that babies this young do not usually get teeth this early, BUT my mom called me on the way home from my conference in Ogden today and told me he has now officially cut two teeth. His two bottom middle teeth have come through, the right slightly more than the left. It doesn't really seem to bother him but I am not going to jinx myself. He is so cute with them and keeps feeling them with his tongue and fingers! He is still a very happy kid and is getting close to sitting up on his own. His only real trial is his head is so big (cute big) that if it gets off balance his entire body follows and he tips right over!
