One month

4 weeks... 30 days...730 hours

That is how long we have had Mr. Henry.  4 weeks doesn't seem like that many but when you think about it in days and hours it's a lot!  We have loved every week, day, hour and second.  

He has started smiling a lot more and is generally a pretty mellow baby.  If he is fussy it is usually just because he is getting hungry, needs his diaper changed or needs to burp.  He sleeps around 3 hours at a time during the night.  There were a few times he slept 6 (that was his first week home and hasn't happened since. bummer).  During the day he is awake more than he used to be.  When you burp him he will hold his head up and has a crazy strong neck.  However, it gets tired and he will often slam it into my shoulder, collar bone, or face.  He loves this little infant rocker we have that has a calming vibration.  He could sleep in that for hours, and has slept in it at night sometimes.  He does love his cradle that Clark made though.  He spits up A TON after he eats.  Sometimes I wonder if he even has any milk left in his belly.  And sometimes it will come out his nose.  Sad I know.  He doesn't seem super upset about it.  It bothers me more than it bothers him.  I need to ask his pediatrician about that.... He seems to be gaining weight so I guess it's fine.  I got on the scale with him the other day and according to that he weighs 10lbs.  So he has gained 2 pounds since his 2 week check up.  To me he seems so big, but everyone comments how little he is.  And in the last couple of days he has started to lose his cute fuzzy hair.  He has an old man receding hair line so now his forehead looks huge!  It is so funny.  I really don't want him to lose his cute hair, so hopefully it grows back.  Oh and he loves the car.  If he is fussy, as soon as we start driving he falls asleep.  He also likes going for walks in his stroller.

We love our little guy so much and I'm already worried about how I will ever love another child this much!  

A True Blooded Aggie

"Show me a Scotsman who doesn't love the Thistle, Show me an Englishman who doesn't love the rose, Show me the True-Blooded Aggie from Utah who doesn't love the spot (clap, clap) where the sage brush grows"

Clark and I are now both Utah State Alumni!  Clark technically graduated in December 2011 but walked in May 2012.  He received a dual major in Entrepreneurship and Economics, so he has two diplomas which makes him extra smart!  It took me all these years to finally know how to spell Entrepreneurship correctly.  Helping Clark type all of his papers and helping with projects I have the spelling down.  I could spell it in my sleep.  He really worked so hard these last few years and towards the end I think he really started to love his major!  They did all sorts of cool projects during his last year with new innovations and you could tell that was right up his alley.  Now if only he could get a job actually doing what he loves.  I'm glad to say he does have a job now (thank goodness, I won't have to write anymore depressing blog posts!).  He is working for Morgan Pavement in Clearfield.  The owner Todd Morgan is good friends with the Pierson's so he said he would give Clark a job if he wanted one.  They wanted to be able to give him an office job, but there weren't any openings yet so Clark is working on the patch crew and if anything inside opens up, they will move him.  It's nice because he can learn about all the different areas of paving and if he does move to an office job he will know all about the company.  He works LONG hours and his in the heat all day and his skin is now the color brown (he is starting to look like the "tanning mom" ha ha), but he seems to like it so far.  The other day they worked from 3am-4pm and yesterday he worked from 5am-7pm.  I could never work those long hours.  He already has 40 hours this week.  But overtime will be nice!  Henry and I have moved down to Kaysville so that we can see our husband/dad more than just on the weekends.  Clark started working a couple weeks ago and we stayed in Logan and Clark stayed down in Kaysville at his parents during the week.  It was no fun driving down to stay with him for a few days and then driving back up to Logan.  So we are now staying in Kaysville with his Parents until we can get a house.  It will be nice for us to save up some money for a couple months.  But it will be even better when we actually have a place of our own.  From living at Cambridge Court being on site managers, to living with my Grandma, and now living with his parents, we haven't had our own place for a long time.  We are very appreciative of those family members that have let us live with them though, it has helped us greatly!  It will just be nice to have our own home.  We will miss Logan since that is where we first started dating and that has been our home for the past 5 years.  We will still visit since I have my family up there.  

Now for the part that everyone wants.... photos

We had an after party at my Grandma's house.  Clark's sisters bought him a pinata because it was Cinco De Mayo.  The little kids all had a few turns hitting it and then it was Clark's turn.  He destroyed it in one hit.
