Learning to talk

Here is Hayden trying to talk to me. Or rather me annoying him again, and trying to get him to talk. He was pretty tolerant and dealing with it very well ;) He is just too cute not to do this video, so here it is.




Now wasn't that the CUTEST little baby you ever saw cooing?!?! I think so!

6 Weeks Already

Yes, the kids are in bed finally(well 3 out of the 4) and I am finally getting to post some pictures. (I will get to my birth story soon for those that are interested) Man, I didn't realize how much busier 4 is than 3, but we are managing. A new baby, new house, swimming lessons, kids going in all different directions. I am sure that we will get into the rhythm of it right? Right?

It is hard to believe that we went from this...




To this...




To this... in just 6 weeks!


I can't believe how much he has grown and yet how little he still is. And how grateful I am that my Heavenly Father sent this beautiful little boy to us to raise and teach. It is amazing to look down at him and see the changes, and how he is starting to recognize people, coo and smile. I look at him and think how wonderful it is to have him in our family and how peaceful he looks when nursing and asleep in my arms. Then I hear water splashing and one of the girls saying 'eww, gross!' and find Brock rinsing out his toothbrush in the toilet(which promptly went in the garbage!!!), or some other crazy thing happening in our house, and realize that I have to snap back to reality. But at least I can have a few sweet moments, even if they are just moments.

More pictures of the little one

Brock was the first to see the new baby. He was woken up when I went into his room for a few things, like diapers. He wouldn't go back to sleep on his own, so I got him up. He was up for more than an hour before finally falling back asleep on the couch with me next to him.

Milaya was next. She had woken up when Mandy's labor started, so she was expecting to see a baby when she woke in the morning.

Hali was last, but she was the most surprised. She kept looking at Mom, then the baby, then back to Mom.



I went to storage and got the bassinet, car seat, and swing. Brock found the swing a great place to sit and watch TV. We found him later, face down and asleep.



And finally a few other pictures of just Hayden.

Today's your birthday, shout hurray!

Early this morning we welcomed our new baby boy into our family.

Both Mom and baby are doing well.

P.S. Ignore the widget to the right ;)

The Belly

Here is a pic of my big belly at 34 weeks. Rub the Buddha! Anyway, we haven't been so good at it this time and M always wants to take the picture.

Nice tan line, I know. Sorry.

Brock: The Drummer

Last Sunday, much to Mandy's chagrin, Brock was drumming on the church bench during sacrament meeting. He must have picked it up when we played Rock Band several weeks ago. Here he is using a pack of t.p. and pencils (unsharpened) for drums and sticks.

Educated Birth

I know y'all probably want pictures and those will come. I just found this video on a friends facebook profile and wanted to post it. It is about 7 minutes long, but take the time to watch it.
