Is it really over? (sob, sob, tear, tear)

I started reading the Harry Potter series when I was 14. At this point only the first and second books were out. I remember bringing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to seminary early in the morning and someone laughing at me for reading a book about some guy with the name Harry Potter. Well who is laughing now? My love for Harry began early, and honestly it sounds strange but he has been a part of my life for the last 12 years. We have been through the ups and downs of life together.

I have done a lot of waiting for Harry. I waited for the 3rd book to come out. Then the 4th. Then the 5th. Then the 6th. And finally the seventh. When I finally got my hands on the seventh book at a midnight release, I stayed up all night reading it so no one could ruin the ending for me. I also have done a lot of waiting for the movies, which I also love.

I just saw the last movie a few hours ago and am a bundle of emotions right now. I am elated because it was wonderful but I am saddened by the fact that I don't have anymore Harry to look forward to...except maybe for a trip to Orlando to see the Wizarding World.

I guess I just want to say, Harry, I love you.

For my 100th post: A Little Info on the littlest Doty

1. Dallin loves his hands. In his spare time he stares at them in wonder or shoves them into his mouth. They are his two best friends.

2. In Dallin's short 3 months of life he has sampled many different liquids: breastmilk, fortified breastmilk, 3 brands of formula, acid reflux medicine and fortified formula. But his favorite of all is a mixture of rice cereal and formula. He gobbles it down.

I feel like a chemist because within a 24-hour period I usually serve him 4 different combinations of rice cereal, formula, and breastmilk in 4 different bottles to increase his caloric intake. His favorite bottle you might ask? The infaFeeder. Why? Because it has the good stuff- Rice cereal.

3. Dallin is skinny and long. He is gaining weight very slowly, thus the reason for all the different food combos.

4. Dallin loves watching faces, particularly his brother Quin's. Quin will sit next to him and say "LA LA LA" very slowly and Dallin thinks it is hilarious. It gets him smiling every time.

5. Dallin hates pooping. It makes him mad.

6. Dallin likes hats. I could never get Quin to wear a hat, but Dallin enjoys them. He appreciates the matchy-matchyness of hats which correspond to specific outfits.

7. Dallin's favorite game used to be"Watch me Try to Stick out my Tongue". This basically involved him trying to stick out his tongue, but not getting very far because it was tied down. However he just got his tongue clipped so he is no longer tongue-tied. Now the name of the game is "Lets Learn to Eat with a Free Tongue."

8. Dallin's greatest wish is to someday hold a binky in his mouth without assistance. He loves sucking on his binky but can't manage to keep it in without someone holding it. As a result he ALWAYS has a binky clipped onto him.

9. Dallin sleeps through church 95% of the time. It is his favorite place to nap.

10. Dallin is a joy to our little family. We all adore this little guy.
