The Behunin Bunch: A Little Bit of This... And a Little Bit of That

I feel like I have lots to catch up on, and am totally overwhelmed by it! This post is gonna take me a while to finish I just know it. Well I guess first, we can talk about Christmas! We spent our Christmas up in Idaho this year, and we had a blast. It was so fun to hang with the Behunin side for several days, and it was especially sweet because it had been so long since they had all seen Trey. Treagan did so great with all of the traveling and with being flexible with his schedule. He was such a happy boy, and totally loved being there! He even helped open a few of his presents. It was just so much fun! He of course was spoiled by Grandma and Grampy B, as we all were! And then we got spoiled again when we passed through Salt Lake to see my fam for a few hours on our way back home. We are so lucky to have such wonderful families! Kelly and I decided we had two favorite parts about Christmas in Idaho. First, was the GREAT NEWS we got from Penny and Jared. They are havin a baby this summer and we couldn't be more excited! I wish I had taken a picture of the cute shirt they made for Nate to wear to announce it to everyone. But I was just so excited I forgot all about my camera. Anyway, July 1st can't come quick enough! And second fave, was the Nativty Scene we did as a family on Christmas Eve. Treagan starred as Baby Jesus and he couldn't have been more perfect for the part! We all had so much fun dressing up. I am pretty sure it was a hit, and will become a new tradition!

Trey got this hat from Aunt Amy. Hahaha just a little too small.

Looking at all of his new toys. He's such a little spoiled spot!

We made these table place holders for everyone for Christmas dinner, they turned out cute.

Another thing we should definitely talk about is that Treagan O is 5 months old! Dang it. How does this happen so fast? Oh man, he just gets cuter and cuter with each passing day. He still loves sucking on his fingers (his whole fist for that matter), and he drools and spits up constantly. Speaking of spitting up. . . His reflux has been getting worse and worse, even with him on the Prevacid. Poor boy. So Dr Johnson thought we should have his tummy checked. So he sent us in for an upper GI. The sweet little dude did so well with it. I think the hardest part was making him fast and go without food for so long. But he really did great and the doctors were shocked to have a baby smile through the whole procedure. They had warned me that he would scream through the whole thing. Anyway, he did so good, and we of course were so proud. We were relieved when we got the results that everything anatomically was okay. He just has really bad reflux so we have been told that mroe solid food will help. Yay! And they say it will help him to get bottles with rice cereal in them as much as possible so I think I might slowly start to transition from nursing him to that. We'll see. . . He is now learning to play around in his Baby Einstein Entertainment Center, but his little feet don't quite touch the ground yet. He's still been eating rice cereal every night, and we are starting to introduce him to some real food. Sweet potatoes was first on the menu and he gobbled it right up. Such a little piggy. He still needs to learn how to swallow a little better, but he's catching on quick! He still does great with his bedtime routine. He always goes right down to sleep anytime in between 730 and 830 usually, whenever I can get around to it. And he never puts up a fuss. He loves tubby time, jammies, family prayer, and then being nursed til he's full. Then he goes straight to sleep. Such a sweet boy. He laughs more and more each day and is getting very close to being able to sit up all by himself. He also has learned to roll both ways! He's a little rolley polley so we for sure gotta keep our eyes on him at all times these days! He's just so much fun and we are having a blast raising him. Oh we love him SO MUCH!


We took him into my work to weigh in this week and he is ALMOST 16 lbs!

15 lbs. 14 oz. of pure joy

Well. . . Happy New Year! I can not even believe that 2012 is here. To bring in the New Year, we had a big surprise party for my Mama. I am so shocked that we were able to pull it off. Thanks to everyone who helped, and who came to support her! She's definitely been through it the last couple years, and we decided it was time to celebrate! So we called it "Melissa's New Year," with the hopes that this new year will be a good one for her. She definitely deserves it. Anyway, here's a few pics we got of the night. SO.MUCH.FUN!!!
