AWESOME Weekend!

We spent last weekend at an amazing cabin. It belongs to my sis-in-law's parents. It is truly awesome. It is huge so there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own bedrooms and own bathroom and it even has two full kitchens. It was our second time going there but this time was even better because Zach's whole family (except Micah) was able to come. We did lots of four-wheeling, fishing, making cute little crafts, watching movies, playing with babies, and of course eating lots of yummy food. We had so much fun! Thanks Lucas and Danielle for inviting us all!

Raiden and Graham are only 4 days apart. Last time they were together Graham was so shrimpy compared to Raiden. We thought with all Graham's growing and getting to almost 16 pounds that he would have caught up with Raiden, but not quite! Raiden is still 4 pounds heavier! Such cute BIG boys!

Happy Halloween!!!

I had to work on Halloween so we didn't dress Graham up. (I know, I feel bad but luckily he doesn't realize we skipped out on a holiday) But we did get him this cute onsie to be a little festive.

My pumpkin. My ideas always look so much better in my mind :) You can't see from this angle, but if you look through to the back there is a big H carved on the back. (You know, our initials:)

Graham has outgrown his baby tub. He is such a big boy! (15.9 lbs at 14 weeks!!!) Here he is for the first time in the big boy tub.

P.S. Graham has started laughing!! It is so fun! We work hard to find things that will make him laugh. One day tickling will make him laugh but a few hours later he will have no response. The episodes are few and far between but I love love love it!

Fall Funtivities

Fall... the best of all.

Fall is my favorite season. Although, this year I have really been upset with the change of seasons because I feel like I was totally cheated out of a summer. I spent the first half of summer being huge and pregnant and the last half with a brand new baby. We didn't get to do many fun summer time activities. However, this last week my love of Fall has returned. We went for a drive up the canyon to see the amazing colors and also went to a corn maze, which is one of my favorite things. This year the corn maze was short and sweet. I usually like to go into corn mazes and just wander and get lost. Zach, on the other hand, likes to look at the maps and listen to what other people are saying and figure the way out. Well, this year Zach led us so we were out in about 10 minutes! I guess it was okay since it was pretty chilly and we had Graham with us and also our friends who had small kids.

Next week we will be carving our pumpkins and making sugar cookies and taking more walks to see the changing leaves before they're gone. I really do love this time of year!!

This is Graham at the corn maze. We bought this new baby carrier and I loved it! It was so easy to carry him, no tired arms or tired back.

Big Baby Boy!

Next week Graham will be 3 months old!! It has gone by so fast and yet it seems like he has been here forever. Graham went through a HUGE growth spurt. He started out so tiny and then in a matter of a couple weeks he went from newborn sized clothing into 6 month sized clothing! At his two month appointment he had already doubled his weight and weighed 13.5 pounds and 24 inches long. He is such a happy boy (most of the time :) He is making lots of cute noises and smiling a lot. He just keeps getting more and more fun! He is getting better at sleeping. Now he only wakes up once or twice during the night instead of 3 or 4 times. (Phew! Hopefully it just keeps getting better.) Zach has been busy with school and work and being sick this whole week :( and I have kept busy with work and trying to catch a few Zs whenever I can. I get to switch to part time at work next week! Yahoo!! I am so excited and relieved about it.

Check out our big boy!

What a poser! :)

Graham's blessing day. (I wish you could see his cute little bow-tie but check out the sweater vest. Love it!)

Graham LOVES his bath!

Hot shots and the haps

So last night I started back at work. Ever since Graham was born I have teared up at the idea of having to leave him to go to work. This past week those tears have gotten bigger and started falling and yesterday they turned into a gushing river with hysterical sobs! I just about had a panic attack when it was time for me to walk out the door. It was so hard leaving him but we all made it through our first night apart. Zach did a great job of taking care of Graham. And wouldn't you know it, Graham slept more last night than he probably ever has- lucky for Zach! I had a good night at work and once I stopped crying and got to work, I was reminded of how much I love being a nurse. ( I don't love it more than Graham though, I plan on going part time in the very near future.)

Here are some pictures we had taken of Graham when he was 4 weeks old. Isn't he a cutie??

1 month old!

I can't believe how big Graham is getting! It seems like he has doubled in size this past week. He has been changing a lot. He is smiling more and more and starting to make lots of cute noises. Before he would look around but didn't really focus on much, now he will look us in the eye and looks around a lot at lights and colorful objects. He is finally outgrowing his newborn diapers. And his newborn clothes all fit him around the waist but they are way too short! Here are a bunch of random but adorable pictures of our little guy:

We had fun one night showing Graham himself in the mirror. I don't think he knew what he was seeing but he loved it! He was smiling and looking all over.
