Update Time

I know it's been forever since I last posted. Life has been a little crazy!

Since the last post we have:

- Driven back to Idaho (Of course something broke down on us)

- Started school/work (I got a part-time job)

- Moved back into our old apartment (It's been tricky fitting all our new baby stuff in it)

- Had a "family reunion" (Check out my sisters blog)

- Blessed Dominic

- Took a trip to Montana

- Gotten sick

- And are still trying to organize our lives here in Idaho with a baby!

I want to post pics of everything and give a more detailed account, but I'm just too tired to do that all right now. So be patient with me and the posts will come...

Until then here are some cute pics of our favorite little guy.

I love that his big belly is hanging out of his shirt.

Nap time.
So cute!

I found him like this...I don't even know how he got his head to bend that far!
We stuck Frenchie in his car seat and somehow he got his arm right through the middle of him.

My Chunky Monkey

That's right, I call my little man "Chunky Monkey". He had his two month doctors appointment today and he weighs 13 lbs 4 oz. That's in the 75th percentile for his age! We love his fat rolls.

Look at those thighs!



He also got his first immunizations today which was not fun for him... or for me! He screamed so hard he stopped breathing and turned bright red. For the next 6-7 hrs at home he was pretty miserable, even after the children's Tylenol.

Anyway, here are some more photos for your enjoyment.

Happy to be in his car seat. He loves car rides.

People say he looks like my dad. What do you think?

That's Frenchie the snake rattle right there. It's my miracle toy...gets him to stop crying every time. Best $1.99 IKEA purchase I ever made.

Just fell asleep while doing some light reading.

Where Did They Go?

These last two months have flown by! Do you ever feel like each day seems like forever and then the next thing you know it the week is over? That's how I have been feeling lately. Taking care of this kid is hard work! Ha ha.

Well, he is officially two months old today and he's such a cutie!








Father and son. Look at Tyler's new facial hair. It's the longest he's ever had it!

Turn That Frown Upside Down

You know the rest :).

Here is why I'm frowning...


I can't take him out in this heat. He already has heat rash on his face, arms, neck, and back from temperatures not in the 100's. So, I must stay in...for his sake.




But he sure has made me smile with this face...


Which, he makes regularly now and I love it.

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.
