weird contortions of the face

I took this yesterday while she was in a good mood looking at her mobile:) Oh she's so cute:D



And a video to accompany the picture. I tried to capture a smile on video....but no love.

Happy Fall....sort of:)

Happy Fall everyone! We are officially in the season...but Utah hasn't figured that out yet:) As I type it's about 80 degrees out..phooey! Not too much exciting going on around here. We went up to Idaho this past weekend and visited Marc and Stacie. B and his youngest cousin had an awesome time playing together. They didn't fight like cats and dogs, so it was very nice:) Stacie has pictures from the weekend on her blog.
Miss C turned a month old on Friday! How crazy it is how time flies by. She is changing every day. I think she has bulked up a little bit in the last week. And she is practicing her smiling:) I get them very rarely compared to how hard I try to get one out of her:) But it's all worth it to see her mouth do that weird crooked, gumless, face contortion:)
Our realtor gave us some tickets to a fall farm bonanza thing:) We went a had a pretty good time. B went down this ginormous slide thing a few times. His last round up he turned around at the top and went back down! Matt and I were like...uhh what's he doing? So I walked around and looked and they had it so you had to climb up a big rope net thing...and he was playing on it! Oh he's a dork sometimes:) After that we went out on the tractor ride to get our pumpkins! It was fun and B really enjoyed himself! So here the pics from that and our pumpkins on our steps:) Till next time,
Meg






way too bright out here mom!

non-professional photo shoot :)

Hello all my furry friends:) What's new and exciting in your worlds? Not too much new here. We are still slowly getting used to having a new bundle of love in the house:) It's been better this week. I have managed to get up and dressed and have some sort of a schedule before 10:) Exciting I know. Miss C is over 3 weeks old now. It's hard to believe. It's even more hard to believe that I see pregnant women and think to myself..."awww i want to be preggo again". What is wrong with women that, after just having turned our woman-hood into a train wreck, we can still somehow get that newborn baby itch? It's messed up! Anyway. Well the 'get out of the house' excitement this week was a 'wish i was a photographer photo shoot' :) Go me!!! lol. So here are some of the field trip:) Enjoy!









The plans for this week you ask? Not a whole lot. We are supposed to have some cooler weather which will be awesome! The in-laws leave for New England this week...wish I could go, but I haven't lost my brain that much:) And I think my little family is going to go to ID and visit the other half of this psychotic family :P And some more 'mock' photo shoots:) So till then,

Meg

Just wanted to post this pic because I think it's way cute:)

2 weeks already

So...it's now been over two weeks since our new baby has been born:) Wow. 2 weeks and I haven't killed myself yet:) It hasn't been too bad around here. Mornings are definitely a lot slower:) We have gotten out of the house twice this week. I have showered and gotten dressed 3 times this week:) Probably shouldn't write things like that:x Oh well:) Our nights have been going really well. She consistently sleeps at least 4 hours a night between feedings. Matt helps me by getting her and changing her and I feed and put her back to bed. It seems to work ok and Matt hasn't had any complaints:) We have a Dr appt tomorrow. I am going to brave it and bring B along:) We'll see how it goes. My MIL offered to watch him, but what's the fun in that:) Maybe I'll be singing a different tune tomorrow:P
Anyway, I made some oatmeal bread today...so I will write the recipe on here for all those that asked:) Along with a picture of the finished project and a video of C on her belly:) Hope everyone is good! Till then,
Meg

playing outside:)

Bath time:)

She was pretty hungry during this...that's why she was fussing. And of course I had to pick this night to video her bath:)

sleeping babes

Sleeping babies are so cute...with their eyes all rolling back in their heads and mouth twitches:) C is a very good sleeper. We have been having just as good luck with her as we have with B. It has been very nice. She seems to be putting on weight which is also good and I am pleased to report that she is having bowel movements:) She also loves her hair being washed. I need to take a video of it with my camera:) As for the mother of these 2 fine individuals...I am doing good. I'm grateful for the fact that I don't seem to suffer from the baby blues. I had one day where I was a little overwhelmed, but I think that's because I caught a cold and was really tired. Other than that I'm chipper:D Jen left today. We are sad to see her go but know that she really was ready to get home and get back to her routine with her daughter. Her parents leave in about 3 weeks I think it is to go back East and make the yearly visit. I'm bummed I can't go. Well, I could, but it would definitely be very interesting. And I think I would miss Matt too much,...and his help :P So instead we are going to soak up the "vacation" away from his family...lol. Anyway. Hope everyone is doing well and know that we love you! Till then,
Meg
