The kids

Nelson just chilling

McKay discovered he loves carrots (and posing for pictures, apparently)

One night we had ice-cream for dessert and we pretty much finished a carton, so I just left it out on the counter. Then I went to nurse the baby and Kimball left for a meeting. So...when I came back out to see what my extremely quiet toddler was doing, I found him scraping out the last few bites. :)

We are teaching Nelson early to be a cougar fan!

He's starting to smile more. He has been a lot of fun lately!

Nelson Blessing

March 18th was Nelson's blessing. We were grateful to have lots of Kimball's family along with my parents and grandma from Seattle.

Nelson is now two months old!! At his check up he weighed 10 lbs. 8 oz. and 23 inches long. He is growing really well and we are happy he is so healthy!

Glimmer of Hope

sorry I can't figure out how to turn these pictures. lame.

Nelson slept 7 hours in a row last night!

That is what I call...a glimmer of hope. Hope that I may start getting some decent sleep. What a glorious night Nelson and I had. :) :) :)

First Sunday at Church

We ventured to church this past Sunday! Nelson will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, so I figured it was time for me to have some spiritual enlightenment again. I don't think Nelson got too much out of it because he slept the whole time, but I thought it was great!

5 weeks old

My brother, Brian, visited us from Provo for President's Day weekend. We had a lot of fun, and McKay loved having uncle Brian stay with us. The morning after he left, McKay woke up and said, "where'd uncle Brian go?"

Wearing daddy's shoes with a cheesy smile

Nelson turned 5 weeks old today! He got a bath to celebrate. Baths totally soothe him. We love him so much! He doesn't cry very much, he is great at cuddling, and he is strong (has already survived a few hits from McKay's balls). Even with the continual reminders to McKay that Nelson is not big enough to play ball, it still seems to be a constant struggle. :(

Valentine's Day

With a new baby who takes up a lot of my time, this was the extent of our Valentine's activity. :) McKay liked taking pictures with the heart because it meant he could get a piece of candy. Bribing is a beautiful thing sometimes. We are doing well and hope all of you have a great Valentine's Day!

Two weeks

Has it really only been two weeks??? For some reason, it feels a lot longer than that. :) Nelson is doing great as of his two-week check up. He is growing, eating, and sleeping well. He is 75th % on height and 16th % on weight.

This lovely grandma of our's had to go home yesterday. :( I was really sad to see her go. She helped us so much. She really went all out in trying to keep us fed, well rested, cleaned up, and happy!
