We can't leave anybody out I guess now can we.......
Now, let's see.... our sweet boy Ammon....
1. We are so excited to have a boy... he's so sweet, and so fun... if he was gonna be a girl, Artie said we were gonna be done! I don't think he could handle any more girls... haha, so he's pretty happy he got his BOY! He wouldn't even let me have a choice in the name.
2. Ammon was my smallest baby.. even though he was still pretty big, weighing 8 lbs, 4 oz. He was the smallest, but he was the hardest labor, because... I don't know what happened to the epidural.... I could FEEL IT! YIKES! But, the best recovery ever! He's also my only winter baby and the only one that had Jaundice.
3. Ammon has a pelvic Kidney. That means one of his kidneys is not in the right place, it's down close to the pelvis. So, everytime he has the slightest fever or anything he has to be checked. He has to get an ultrasound every 6 months so far to see what's going on with the kidneys and see if there is any blockage in the urinary tract. It's likely that everything will be fine and it's something that just has to be watched throughout his life... careful in contact sports, etc. or there is also a bigger chance of infection and blockage because the kidney is in the wrong place. We gotta take care of those kidneys... we don't want them to have to work harder than they have to... we are gonna try to not get him hooked to sugar, pop, etc. like the girls... :) The kidneys have to process all that! I'm learning more as we go! Right now we are battling everybody trying to feed him stuff... why does everybody wanna give him Sugar???? Anyway... enough about that!
4. Ammon is the best baby! He's so happy most of the time. Pretty easy to take care of. Loves to talk and smile and will laugh if somebody else is laughing!
5. Ammon is starting to grab everything and be a little more independent playing on the floor by himself for a while. He'll play with toys and roll around.
6. He loves to be outside... He'll be happy outside for hours, watching the trees, watching the girls play and watching them ride around and around the house in their car! He also loves his jumperoo. So, if I stick him in that and put him outside, he plays forever!
7. Ammons a great baby, but not the best sleeper. He takes a lot of 30 minute naps. He also loves to cuddle to sleep, which makes it hard. But, sometimes it's nice cause he's so snuggly, he's my little SnuggleBug!
8. Ammon and I are both addicted to Babywearing. He's so cuddly and loves to be held especially when he's tired, so sometimes it's hard to get stuff done. So, I'll wrap him on me and we'll be good to go. Sometimes he'll just cry until I put him in it. It's great when going shopping or vaccuming and things. I love it so much I added it to my business and I've been making some super fun patterns and stuff and it's named after my sweet Ammon.... So, you'll be hearing more about the SnuggleBug Wrap!
We Love you so much Ammon.... it's so fun having a baby boy after having 2 girls. I love watching you grow and learn new things each day. You are growing way too fast and I want to cherish each little moment with you. We are so thankful you are as healthy as can be and are a part of our family!
**Who else is there left to tag??? This tagging is a lot of work, but it'll be great to look back on all this about our kids. If you haven't been tagged and want to, then do it!

Angela, Ammon is such a sweetheart! I was crazy about my baby boy too. I don't know why, there's just something about little boys. My kids always loved being in a front carrier also. I had splurged on a Baby Bjorn and it was worth it. Nephi carried Brigham in in everyday while he vacummed and Brigham would always end up sound asleep and limp. It was so sweet. P.S. You look GREAT Angela! Either you are working very hard or you have great genetics because you bounce back great after babies! Take care!
Ang,
Your little boy has so much hair. He is so cute! You guys have an awesome family. As for Mesquite days not being quite as good, I kind of get the same feeling when I go back to my hometown and go to Wellington days. It is always super fun, just different. I guess that means we are really grown up or something.
