Crawling Drama

Dallin knows how to crawl, but he is in denial. Basically the only time he does crawl is after I’ve put him on the floor and then I try to go do something. As soon as I walk away, and sometimes as soon as he realizes that I’m about to put him down, he starts crying. He tries desperately to get to me and in the process moves. I hoping that someday he will realize that crawling is not cruel and unusual punishment...

Beach Bum

A Trip to Naples FL isn’t complete without going to the beach. This was probably the first time Dallin got to spend most of his time out of the car seat and he loved it. He loved the sand, the waves, the sand, his hat, the sand, the cool beach towel, the sand, and did I mention the sand? He was so curious about that grainy stuff; He wanted to feel it on his hands and feet. He did everything he could to reach it. Fortunately he can’t move much, I’m sure that if he could crawl, there would be no stopping him.

An Evening at the Zoo

We took Katelyn and Dallin to the Zoo on August 11th for one of their "Summer Surfari Nights" Where all the rides are free and the zoo stays open 9pm it was great! Dallin was so content and easy going and Katelyn loved it because her best friend Cason Cole was there too.

Katleyn LOVES watermelon! in fact I'm pretty sure she thinks it's one of the five basic food groups along with popsicles and cereal. She could eat those three things all day everyday.

Dallin in his cute duck towel. He loves taking a bath, he kick, wiggles and squirms all over the place cooing the entire time. Katelyn thinks she is such a big girl because she gets to help rinse him off once I've put soap on his head and body.

Dallin's Blessing

Dallin with Grandma and Grandpa Smith

Dallin with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Net

Dallin was blessed on July16th He looked so hansome in his little banker suit. It's was wonderful to have all the grandparents there. What a wonderful family we have.

Cuddle Time

This was taken July 20th. Sometimes Katelyn likes me to hold her while I'm holding Dallin. She gets a big kick out of doing the same things he does. She is such a great big sister!

Giddy up

At two months old Dallin is already getting his first piggy back ride. This is one of Katelyn's favorite activities... I'm sure Dallin will appreciate it more when is is a bit older.

2 months and loving it

Dallin is 2 months old and has started smiling at us. Those first smiles are so precious and so hard to capture on film.

Crazy Hair Katelyn

Katelyn has always had a lot of hair. Now most of the time when she wakes up in the morning it's out of control, but she doesn't mind. she is beautiful!

The day before Dallin was born Katelyn looked like a baby, so I couldn't believe how big she was when she came to visit us at the hospital. It seems she grew up in one day. Although Katelyn is a wonderful big sister I've come to realize that really I have two babies. She is still my little girl.

whoa momma

I am officially large, and I feel it,  it's such a chore to do simple things like bending over. Cameron has to give me a little push when I want to roll over in bed. but  I am sure excited to meet this little guy soon.  I am so blessed to be a mother.

Our little swimmer

Katelyn loves the water. She would almost rather be in water then anywhere else. Her other favorite spot is the front seat of our car, I think if those two places were combined she would be in heaven. She has no fear of the water, and hasn't realized yet that she doesn't float. She is always in our arms or an inner tube. And has little reason to think that she would be in danger on her own. But that's not a lesson I'm willing to teach though trial and error. so for now we will just enjoy "Mimmin".
