One Month

One month down! If you remember I did these little monthly photoshoots with Norah when she was a baby and I love being able to look back and watch her grow so of course I'm going to do them for H as well. Hamilton is too long to spell (or say sometimes) so I will now refer to my son simply as "H" lol. 

For a little comparison, here is Norah at her one month. First of all...LOOK AT THAT HAIR!!! I thought H had a lot of hair, but looking at them side by side, he kind of looks like an old man losing his hair lol. 

Also, he kind of has that "bird man" look going for him right now. We'll fatten him up in no time! 

Workin on our neck muscles.

My little man.

And of course, big sis wanted to hold her baby brother. I'm thinking I'll try and get a shot of the two of them each month to see them both grow:)

The first month always goes by fast, but I feel like I've been cheated! It's no fair that it goes by twice as fast when you have two kids. Several times a day I have to stop and take a breath and just enjoy both of these kiddos. I'm one lucky gal to be their mommy:)

We made it

Well this has been an adventure.

About 8 weeks ago we said goodbye to our friends and home in Michigan to start a new adventure in Utah. But we had to make a pitstop in Kansas City to have a baby...People still look at me weird when I say that.

When we left MI, I was 39 weeks pregnant and we had no house yet in Utah so we stayed with my parents in Kansas City to have the baby, and have help with the baby while Daniel went to start his job at NuSkin and find us a house. I was home a total of about 5 weeks before we started the trek west. It was very nice being home for an extended stay. My recovery was easy peasy with all the extra help, I didn't have to worry about Norah one bit. She had her cousins to play with and Grandma to look after her. No cooking or cleaning...It was cake!

Then Dan came calling for me, saying he bought us a house. Yes, HE bought us a house without me seeing it, but thank goodness for facetime. Annnnnnd, I trust him:)

So here we are in front of the new house (first time I'm seeing it). We now have everything moved in and are trying to get adjusted to our new life. I must say, it is a tad more difficult when you have to haul two kids out of the house. But we're working on it lol. 

Freaking Utah;)

Blessing Day

Since we are already in Missouri where both grandparents are we decided to bless Hamilton before moving out to Utah. We blessed him in my parents home surrounded by family and it was sweet, simple and beautiful. 

It was fun buying him a set of nice Sunday clothes and dressing him up. I knew better than to have him wear it all day (spit up, explosive diarrhea...) So just as we were going to do the blessing I changed him and it happened. Something that never happened when changing Norah as a baby. The fountain of pee pee shot up and soaked his pants lol. But after a quick cycle in the dryer we were back on schedule :)

Here's our little man in his Sunday best. As you can tell, he still has some growing to do. 

He's not impressed, but we sure thought he looked handsome.

Proud parents of our sweet baby boy.

 I'm grateful for the sweet blessing Daniel gave Hamilton to grow healthy and strong. It made me even more excited to be this little guy's mom!!!
