My Batistich: 2018

Saturday, December 1, 2018

Thanksgiving was pretty low key this year with all the crazy things going on in our lives! We had it at Dustin’s parents and food was delicious. Craziest part was making 9 pies by myself I had sore biceps from rolling out dough! Also Jetson LOVES pumpkin pie, his new favorite. Oooo and we had the pleasure of having fresh turkey thanks to Dustin’s brother josh!

My first ever lemon maraingue!!!

Halloween 2018

We were The Little Mermaid this year for Halloween! My brother in law and mom decided to join us and be Tritan an Ursula! Jetson’s costume was homemade by my mom and I! And my mom made her Ursula costume omg! Dustin’s prince Eric costume is also homemade (he wears that shirt for almost all his prince costumes haha! ) and my brother in law Shane’s was homemade as well! Yay for homemade costumes! Mine was not homemade but more just a collection of things I bought off amazon!

Hope you enjoy these pictures!

Jetson’s 15 Month Well Visit

Mommy had a mommy brain moment and never schelduled his 15 month visit, I thought he didn’t have one until 18 months! A strange sore on his tongue (ended up being nothing) prompted me to call the doctor and they informed me he needs his 15 month check up. Due to my ill prepared nature we had to go to another doctor within the practice, which was somewhat refreshing but I missed our doctor! This was the WORST visit yet. Jetson knee what the shots were and he fought me and I had to hold him down poor baby! He was happy afterwards though, with his free book & sticker. He’s out heakthy boy!

Weight: 25 lbs 4 oz

Height: 2 feet 8 inches

Jetson 16 Months

Jet is growing, learning and becoming a little toddler! He is so so so demanding, people claim newborns are hard HAH. Toddlers are much worse lol! He’s constantly needing entertainment and I’m always trying to provide as I don’t want him to use TV too much!

He loves Bella the dog, and has basically imprinted on her as his dog. (She’s actually Jetson’s Granny’s). On days where Jetson is really fussy it is typically because he hasn’t seen Bella in a couple days, we drive him over for a quick fix.

It’s basically a miracle, Jetson finally has his top and bottom teeth. He always is quick with his grind when he sees the camera flashes. In this he is yelling "CHEESE" .

Jetson is OBSESSED with reading books, it will entertain him for a long time. He is lately going through a phase where he wants to read them himself! He has a few Halloween books and he screams a fake terror scream every time we turn the page! He loves books so much his nighttime routine include brushing his teeth, story and prayer.

Speaking of prayer, the cutie folds his little hands to pray, anytime anyone prays. Whether it’s over the food, before bed or in a church meeting. He sits still unless it’s one of those extremely lengthy prayers. In the morning for breakfast, he reminds us if we forget. We will put his plate in front of him and he look at it then look at us, and fold his arms and wait. MY HEART.

We are seriously behind on jet updates. He’s also obsessed with cars, he makes the funniest VROOM sound and he basically does it ALL the time. I know he dreams of cars because he sometimes does his VROOM sound in his sleep. He always tries to pat my tires and kiss them when I walk with him to get in the car, I don’t know where he gets this...but he just loves cars.

He loves to watch word party and super monsters, favorite tv shows. He knows all the word party dances and does them as he watches the show.

He’s also a major prankster he locked daddy inside the pantry once and couldn’t stop laughing and ran away.

He speaks Spanish really well and can name/find many of his body parts in Spanish and English!

He’s still obsessed with his dada. Like obsessed. And he’s still the funny little baby he’s always been. He just can express that little personality a lot more now!

Another fun /hilarious fact he HATES play dough. He thinks it disgusting. While in nursery we witnessed him sitting st the table with all the kids playing with playdough. I worried he’d want to eat it. He gave into peer pressure of all the other kids playing and grab a chunk of playdough. He immediately, threw it across the room with a sheer look of disgust. He then continuously tried to like it (because all the other kids did) but then would shriek in disgust and throw it a few seconds later.

Family Vacation: Salt Lake City

We had an amazing trip to Utah for my friends wedding. Our past family trip have been super quick and more stressful than fun! This trip I told Dustin we HAVE to stay at least a week or so! We stayed about ten days, we stayed a little while in Hurricane and then headed up to Salt Lake City the majority of the time, then back to Hurricane, then home. The reason we did it this way was to make the drive seem less hard...ten hours is kind of our max haha!

We got to stay with Dustin's Uncle John and it was so fun getting to know him more! Not to mention his house is the hub where everyone comes to stay so we got to see tons of family this trip. There was a wedding on Dustin's extended family the same weekend so lots of family were in the area. What luck?

We did lots of must sees like temple square, Hogle Zoo, This is the Place, the Avery. While I was in my sealing Dustin watched Jetson. Apparently Jetson pushed his own stroller all the way around the entire area of the Salt Lake temple without getting tired. Dustin said he was following him but he just kept going! Jetson loved having daddy around all day long, so did I haha.

So much delicious food too. Jetson loved seeing all the sights. We loved learning more about the church history, it was way too cool as it was a first time trip for me! Jetson learned lots about Jesus and points and says his name anytime he sees a statue or painting .

The best part of this trip was the family, they made us feel so welcome, fed us way too much and loved us up. Can’t wait to go back !
