Family Pictures

Shauna did family pictures for us while we were all together in Sugar City. It is so great to have a sister be an awesome photographer. I had hoped to have lost all baby weight whenever we did pictures and yet still have it be when Micah was semi-newborn, but oh well. You have to grab the moments when they come. This is by the fence in my parents back yard.

Ammon is figuring out that the world doesn't revolve around him and he doesn't approve of his new discovery. He is showing quite the attitude, and is a complete tease. He is still adorable and knows it, though. And he is still our cuddly little guy, and I am very grateful for that. This face totally shows his personality.

Noah is getting so old! How is it possible that time goes that fast? He was already missing his two top front teeth, and during this last trip lost 2 more and has another loose one. Is it normal to start losing them that fast? We keep telling him soon we'll have to put his dinner in the blender.

Kaden was the easiest to get to smile and the most cooperative. I would not have expected that. He has grown a lot in the last year and is probably just an inch shorter than Noah, and bigger around the waist. He really likes food. . . but he did mention to me today that his favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but that he only wants to eat it "sometimes" because he knows it is not healthy. I was impressed that he would act like he cares.

Here Micah is almost 10 weeks old. He has been so smiley but we caught him at naptime and he didn't like the bright sun either. He just really laughed for the first time yesterday (for daddy of course). He is so good and so fun for all of us. At his 2 month appt he weighed 12 pounds 10 ounces--that was a week and a half past the real 2 month mark.

Staying Focused

So here I was going through clothes and trying to organize. It is my worst thing, trying to keep organized who is growing in and out of what clothes and when--I haven't perfected the system yet. And Micah woke up so happy and smiley that I wanted to catch it on camera. But our camera has a delay and it was tricky. I got lots of good emotions in the end, though. Too bad the clothes are still in chaos. . .

"What is that thing your holding?"

















"You are kind of weird, mom"














"This is getting pretty old"












"I guess she's kind of amusing"

"Okay I admit you're hilarious"
