Napping with cousin Stephie

Steph loves rocking her cousin to sleep and is great at it!

Helping Aunt Tina

Olya is totally obsessed with blowing out birthday candles and since she discovered how to do it, everyone lets her help AND, since we have about 28 birthdays a month, she gets to help - A LOT! As you can see, Aunt Tina didnt even get to help, Olya totally got to it first!

Daddy's Boy

Daddy and Landen are absolute best buds. I think Landen tolerates me, because I'm the milk machine! ;_; Caught this one at dinner tonight and just had to share, SOOO CUTE!!

A Few More From The Hospital

Curly hair!! Landen is about 15 minutes old here.

I LOVE this double chin shot!!

Eyes wide open!

I was looking through our pics from the hospital, having Landen and thought these were for sure BLOG WORTHY.

January 14th, 2009

These photos are from the night before we went in to have Landen, we had taken Olya over to Nana's house to spend the night. I wanted a final preggy shot, and it was nice knowing when we would have him, so I could get a shot at my most pregnant. Looking back - I CANT EVEN BELIEVE HOW BIG THAT BELLY IS!!!!

Olya & Momma

2 Months Old!

I put this one in, just because I love all that hair he has and I thought it showed it well! =)

I took these pics earlier this week, for Landen's 8 weeks photos. I cant believe he is 8 weeks old already! (9weeks today!)

A Couple left from Winter

Caleb built Olya a huge sledding hill going down the stairs of our deck. It started out pretty small, but we kept getting more and more snow and he just kept making it bigger and bigger for her, she had a blast on it and would sled probably 20 feet down or so!

Ready For Summer

Olya has been playing LOTS and LOTS of dress up lately. Shes been going through her drawers (and knocked them over once, trying to climb them) and picking about 10 new outfits a day. She can totally dress herself and has been able to do so since last fall, including putting on socks! Monday, she found her bathing suit from last summer and I told her it was too small, needless to say, she proved me wrong! Here, she is posing with her little buddy, Petrie.

AND, Ollie & Bri, notice her Hello Kitty socks, that she wont ever take off!

Sister & Brother

What a neat bond I am watching being formed. Having been an only child, its really cool to see the whole sibling thing happening!

First Bath!

Here are a few shots from Landen's first bath in the bath tub! We had to let Olya get in there too, she was so excited and even helped! She got to wash his belly, which she was very proud of. He did great, other than getting a bit cold in the end, he didn't seem to mind it much at all. He's so mellow, I didnt really think it would bug him.

First Smiles

You want me to what?!?
OH! You want a smile! Here's a few!

Landen has been smiling since he was about 4 weeks old. Finally, tonight, on his 7 week b-day, I captured it on camera, beaming at daddy, of course! HOW EXCITING!! He is just cooing and smiling all the time now! He also started laughing last night, he sounds like an old man! Its too cute!

Bike Ride

We finally had a semi-not-freezing-day up here last week and Olya got to ride her bike around the driveway a few times! She had a blast, then wanted to come in quickly - it wasn't that warm!

Pretty In Pink

This is the sweater that Aunt Renae's family got for Olya for her birthday. I just thought she looked so sweet and pretty with the hood up like this! She strangely likes posing again for the camera - I cant imagine why!! =)
