Michael Phelps

Dominic took his first trip to the pool today. We have high hopes for him as a swimmer...

Just relaxing on the table while we had a BBQ.

Headed down to the water to test it out.

The first time Tyler did this he screamed but then every time after he seemed to really like it.


I don't know why the quality of this video is so bad on here. Sorry!




We made this make-shift fort to shade him by the pool while the big kids played in the water. Uncle David was nice enough to watch him while I swam around a bit.

Just chillin by the pool. The sun sure wore him out...


You know Tyler is the same height and has the same wing span as Michael Phelps...


Summer Olympics 2034 here we come!

Mom Blog

It's official, my blog is now a "mom blog". You know, the kind of blog that's all pictures and funny stories about their kid(s). Get excited...it's going to be good :).

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been a little crazy around here. Let's just say Dominic likes to be held. A Lot. He also likes to cry. A lot. I asked Tyler the other day how our parents did it with six/seven kids. He said, "It gets easier?" I told him I wasn't so sure about that. Let's just pray not all our kids are as high maintenance as this guy! We sure do love him though.

He's six weeks old today and has sure put on the pounds. We went to the doctor on Thursday and they weighed him in at 11 lbs 2 oz. Only three and a half weeks ago he was only 8 lbs 4 oz! Just yesterday he started smiling, like for real smiling, not the I just passed gas or having a dream smiling. It's super cute and yes mom, I will try my best to capture it on camera!

Well, here are some pictures...

This one is when he was only two weeks but I had to post one with his monkey Otto that Grandma Weathers got him.


Bath time with Daddy. He loves baths.



This boy will sleep pretty much anywhere...except HIS bed. He also doesn't like being swaddled.

Our bed...


Couch...

Boppy pillow...(Check out that double chin!)

Swing...

Bouncer...

Final Photos

I just got the final photos from our little family shoot we had taken a few weeks ago. Noelle did an amazing job! Dominic was not quite 2 weeks old when these were taken and he looks so tiny. Already he has grown so much!

Anyway, here are a few of our very faves...(You'll also notice I used on of the photos as my new blog header.)












I put all the photos on facebook if you want to check them out.

Just a Liiiittle Bit More

For those of you who have never seen my husband eat a meal you are missing out on quite an experience. He never ceases to amaze any first time observer how much food he can put into such a thin frame. Really, it's comical how many comments he gets about how much he can eat.

Well, I guess we can now say, "Like father, like son"! The last few days he's been going through a growth spurt and I can't keep up with the kid. I'm trying not to supplement as much as possible, but I can't go a day without giving him at least two bottles. Our little man is getting some rolls to show for it, too. I looove his baby rolls so keep them comin'!



LOVE the lower lip. So cute.



Our son is gonna be a baller. :)


Sunday outfit.


Tyler's parents are in town lovin' on their new and only grandchild.




Oh yeah, some of you are probably a little comfused by the post title...

One of the first times Tyler ate at my parents place with my whole family we had fried rice. My dad makes the best fried rice! Anyway, all of us were done eating at the table and just chatting when Tyler sheepishly started serving himself up some more rice as he said, "Just a liiittle bit more". None of us could help but laugh at the third large helping he just piled onto his plate. Just a little bit more, huh? Ha ha. I love my husband :)
