Granberry's Visit

He's smiling! He began smiling about 2 weeks ago!
I LOVE Landen's face in this one! How perfect is that crying face!?!

Granberry was here last weekend and we all had a great time. She brought goodies for the young'ins and stayed home with them so Caleb and I could have dinner together for Valentines Day. It was such a treat to have her here and Olya had such a blast with her!

My BEAUTIFUL baby boy

Here are shots of Landen at 4 weeks old. I cant believe he is a month old already, he is really growing and changing every single day. At birth, he was 8 lbs, 6 oz. When we brought him home, he was down to 8 pounds. As of last friday, he is up to 10 lbs, 6 oz! He is a healthy, happy boy!

Olya Kicks It Old School

This year, from Ollie and Briana, Olya got a bunch of Hello Kitty items, WHICH SHE LOVES! She got socks with hello kitty on them and would wear them every day if I let her!


From Jodi, she got a cabbage patch doll, named Regina! She LOVES this new baby and feeds her and changes her diaper, just like mommy, with her new baby!

Birthday Morning

We have gotten to a sort of tradition of powdered doughnuts on special days. Olya's birthday, being one of those, we had to start the day out right! (She also had a banana - gotta have fruit - not photographed here...) Olya got a bunch of great presents, including a dress up, tinkerbell outfit from Granberry, suitcases from Granberry, nail polish and a butterfly mobile from Emily and heart frames from Annabel. At her party, she got her first real Dirt Devil vaccum from Aunt Tina's family, dress up clothes from Aunt Renae's family, a digital camer from Uncle Chuck's family and musical instruments from Nana and Papa! What a day she had!

More From Olya's 3rd Birthday

Olya had a great 3rd birthday party and right before all sorts of madness! Caleb's mom had a lot of the great shots, so here are some of them! She had a strawberry cake and LOVED it! She got all sorts of good presents, including a few different dress up items, which she is still super excited about and tries to get out - EVERY DAY!

Bath Time

Still not to sure about bath time, it depends on how much sleep he's had, I guess... He doesn't mind it too much for the most part, he's pretty mellow and patient.

Sweet Face

This is becoming my favorite spot to shoot Landen, he seems very content here and the light is nice and soft!

Hanging With Daddy

Landen LOVES to be on Daddy's lap, not only is it super comfy, its very, very warm!

From Aunt Tina

These are photos that my sister-in-law, Tina took on the day Landen was born.
Eyes wide open and only a few hours old..
We bought a book for Olya, called How Much Do I Love You? to read to her the day she came to meet her brother, here I am reading it to her.

Granberry came AND left with a terrible cold, we didnt want Landen (or us) to catch it, so she wore the mask to keep in germs! =)

cutie patootie!

sweet little boy... he's so calm and mellow and just lays around when he isnt sleeping and just looks around

This is how we burp our babies, on our lap, sitting up and patting them on the back, he almost always falls asleep!
sleeping again, I love this view of him!

Here are some more cute baby Landen shots.. He's not too fond of the camera, noise or flash, but he's too cute not to photograph! =) He's doing great, sleeping very well and only getting up once in the night to eat! Thank goodness for that, because I need my sleep!
