Trooper

For several weeks now, we've been anticipating October 24th as a very busy day. And it was. I pulled Hyrum out of bed (a cardinal sin at our house to wake a baby) to meet the young women at the church at 8am. From there we went to EFY - outstanding by the way. Then we changed our clothes, ate a sack lunch, and headed to Badger Mountain for our second annual virtue hike. Hyrum in tow all the way. From the hike we headed home to change, make arrangements with babysitters, and deliver a birthday gift. Then James and I headed to the temple for our ward baptismal trip. Then home to pick up Hyrum, switch babysitters, and wrap a wedding gift. Then to a wedding reception, and finally to the stake Green and Gold Disco dance. Phew. By the time we got to the wedding reception, Hyrum's eyes were red and super tired from missed naps and exhaustion. What a trooper!At his check-up this week he was 16 lbs. 7 oz (9th percentile) and 28 1/2 inches (84th percentile). He's our baby bean pole!
