This past weekend I saw a lot of my friends. I don't see them very often because I moved into a different ward this past summer. I have had a hard time making new friends because I love my old ones so much and its not like we live too far away to see them. Anyways, while I was discussing baby issues (not sleeping through the night anymore) with them, one of my friends suggested that I read the book baby wise. So, this week I have been reading and implementing the principles into our lives... harder to do than anticipated... we haven't quite figured it out yet- but I guess we are seeing results in ways that I didn't expect! Dennis has been exceptionally good for his babysitter, he waits patiently for his meals (for her) instead of crying, he seems to be growing really fast. Today his was bigger than yesterday and way more advanced in his vocabulary. Check out this video.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of father and son taken recently... (I might make an appearance in this blog someday)

My friend has a 16 month old and swears by that book. We are trying to read it too so we can hopefully not have any problems too. Let me know how it works! Love you
Please believe I am NOT trying to tell you how to parent you beautiful baby.
But DO read this article and take "babywise" with a grain of salt.

Miss you Rita!
For sure, we take it with a grain of salt... like everything we read. We will only do it if it helps Dennis and we don't always let him cry. Sometimes, I think it is good... you just have to know your baby and what their cries mean.
I love when they discover new sounds!!! He is so cute and it makes me miss you guys so much! Move closer dang it!!!! ; )
Love you!
