Adjectives to Describe Rocky: Smiling, Moving, Eating

Little Rocky, I can just not get enough of you.
You are SOOO smiley to anyone that looks at you. I get SO many comments on your smile when we go out.
I instagrammed "Everywhere we go, everyone always says 'He's smiling at me!'"
It's true. I am so lucky that I get to be the recipient of most of those smiles.



Mmmm, in those overalls I can't even,,,

You loove bathtime. When you get tired in the evenings but its too early to put you down, I put you in the tub, and you kick, smile, are so wide eyed, and smile of course! (And chew on the bath letter toys).

Oh, and chew your toes

On our way to Phoenix

With your girlfriend, Emma Jackson

Unlike Troy you looove to sleep with me!


So interested in toys lately

I will find you in places that I did not set you down! You are not crawling yet, but you are moving somehow.

Sweetest baby. I get to watch you fall asleep every night.
And for that, I count my blessings.


You are on a new adventure of trying baby foods. You can not get enough of them.

Blessing Day



Your dad gave you a beautiful blessing. In it he blessed you to:

  • know you are loved by your parents
  • feel Heavenly Father's love and presence
  • be a good influence around those around you and to your family members
  • mentally, emotionally, morally strong
  • honest in your doings with your fellow men
  • always stand up for Christian values
  • serve a mission and form an eternal family

Included in the prayer circle were:
  • Dad
  • GP
  • Michael Ellsworth
  • Jeff May (Works in YM with Bobby)
  • Jared Meecham (Husband of Jessica's friend)
  • Bishop Wilkes & his counselors

You started crying briefly and the whole circle did some major bouncing to calm you!! HAHA! And dad of course did the classic lion king hold at the end - you were so high up on that stage! Just like he did with Troy.

FINALLY a member of our ward; you were only over 5 months old! (Dad doesn't have a lot of Sundays off during intern year.)
