100% Boy

Merrick and I have been in Utah visiting Shannon and Davis for the past few days. We are having so much fun relaxing and being with good friends. Tonight I put Merrick down on the grass to roam around. He immediately found the dirt! He dug right in and I had to grab the camera.

We've had a lot of fun catching up with Shannon and Miss Davis, how cute are these two in the back seat?

Daniel, the Kiwi, served as my "baby holder" for most of the weekend. Good thing Merrick loved him!

And I became an AT&T salesperson and convinced Justin and Shannon that they HAD TO HAVE iPHONES...way cuter than the Blackberry, don't you agree?

He's Mobile...

My little man is fully, completely, 100% mobile...talk about wanting to go crazy! He thinks he can conquer the world now that he can get around! He is so cute though. If I lay on my bed, he will crawl over to it and pull himself up so that he's barely looking over the edge and he can see me, and then when he does see me he gets this huge grin on his face and kinda laughs. And then he gets a little over-excited and usually falls :) But even though he is into EVERYTHING lately, I am just loving him to death and having fun watching him learn and grow. We went to the doctor the other day for his very first check up since he was born. He weighs 19 pounds (seriously, you could have fooled me...I was betting on at least 25) and is in the 90% for height! He's a Hutchins alright! Here's a few pictures from the last month or so...

This is my favorite face in the whole world!

Merrick hasn't really decided wether or not he loves the swing. It's been a "I'm freaking out but everyone is looking at me and being happy that I'm in here, so I don't know how to feel" kind of experience for him I think...
We are going on a little vacation this weekend! Merrick and I are headed to Provo to visit Shannon and Davis for a few days. I'm sure there will be plenty of cooking, shopping and nonstop mom-style partying :) Can't wait!
