Yummy for the Tummy! and other fun tales!

So lately Lily has become very interested in watching us eat.  She will lean over to try and get it and will watch your every move while eating.  We've been putting off giving her baby food because, lets face it, it can be a hassle, and the doctor says its not absolutely necessary right now.  But the other night, Avery and Amanda brought home ice cream for a dessert, so we decided to feed Lily rice cereal (no, not as good as ice cream).  She actually really liked it.  She gobbled it up.  Her first taste, she gave a huge smile but we didn't get a picture of it.  Sorry the video is so long!

She also had her 4 month appointment (a couple of weeks late).
Her Stats:
weight 16 lbs (just below 90%)
height: 27.7 in (90%)
together: 50%

she is looking great!  she just learned how to roll over this week, though she doesn't particularly like to do it.  Here is our sweet Little Lily:

Avery is such a great big brother.  Today, while at the doctor, he got really concerned when the nurses came into to give Lily her shots.  He had this horrified look on his face and kept asking what we were doing for Lily.  Then he help comfort her after she got them.  He is going to be a good protective big brother!

sorry this is sideway, but its a just a picture of how big our little boy is getting!  It makes us sad and happy at the same time.  Sad that he is getting older, but excited for all the new things he is learning.

Avery likes to sit next to Lily and play with her.  He has recently been loving to "hold Lily."  He thinks its pretty radical to hold his little sister.

A couple of Saturdays, the OscarMayerWienerMobile came to our local Walmart.  We took Avery there so he could see it (we were a little disappointed we couldn't go inside).  It was cute when Avery tried to say it.  We had to run in the store for a bit and he kept asking where it was.

We've been trying to be good parents and read our scriptures with Avery.  Lately, he has been taking a real liking to "Avery's scriptures."  He loves to carry them to church and the flip through the pages.  The other night, he wanted his scriptures, even after we had read them, so we got them down for him.  Though he fell asleep with them, we are proud of him nonetheless!

What do you do when mommy won't let you watch ponyo?

FHE at temple

So the other night we had to run down to Sandy for something.  It happened to be Monday night and we were going to rush back so we could have FHE at home.  However, we decided to stop and get a 4$ (its cheaper on Mondays) pizza from Little Ceasers and then head up to the Draper Temple. The grounds were closed, but we were still able to enjoy the peacefulness of the Temple.  Avery loved temple.  He got really upset when we tried to leave.  Driving home, we talked about the temple in the car.  Avery kept saying, "I want to go to the temple!"  Well we were going to go straight home, but then we could see the Jordan River Temple and the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  They didn't seem too far off the road, so we went ahead and drove by them.  It was really neat to be able to see the temples and have Avery so interested.  He hate to leave them!  The last video (really dark) is a little of Avery's fit that he had each time we would leave a temple.  Hopefully he continues to love to "go to the temple!"
