Happy Halloween!

Leah was a cow and Bowen was a farmer. He loved his John Deer tractor. Trick-or-treating was a little bit rainy, but I took the kids out around the block while Seth stayed home (he actually had the better job. I guess I'm a grown-up now because I think staying home on Halloween is more fun than going out trick or treating).

Family pics (minus Seth)

So we took family pictures last weekend, but the lighting turned out really bad. My neighbor was the one who took the pictures, so to make up for the bad pictures, we took some of the kids in her back yard last week. I may be biased, but I think I have the cutest kids in the world!

To see more pictures go to her photo blog

Also, Leah had her 6 month check up . She was 16lbs. 3 oz. So not quite as chubby as Bowen was. She is tall like Bowen has always been, measuring in the 97 percentile.

2 kids and an antelope

Bowen and Leah are great little friends now. Bowen loves to make her laugh. The other day Leah was sucking on something and I found a sunflower seed that Bowen had put in her mouth! He also likes to give her his toys. We'll see how long the sharing lasts! Leah is getting so big. She eats a little baby food and can roll onto her stomach!

Here is Seth's antelope he shot on his hunt in Wyoming. He went with his cousins and uncle and had a really great time.

Leah is our princess (sorrry Bowen, no pictures of you)

Leah with my mom at my sister Abby's soccer game.

She started rolling to her stomach a few weeks ago. Whenever she rolls she gets mad that she's on her stomach!

Leah likes to spit food out, but she's starting to get the hang of it. Her bumbo chair is perfect, although she hates being constrained, so she will arch her back and try to get out.

Summer fun

I was hoping to have more photos, because we have really done a lot of fun things this summer. I was with all my sisters for a week and a half, and everyone else had their cameras, so I'm waiting for them to send me photos. Then I lost my camera for a couple weeks...

Our kids are starting to really interact. Bowen just loves his baby sister Leah. She is now 4 months old and 14.3 lbs (61st percentile), and 95th percentile in height. She's really tall just like Bowen. She still has very little hair, but keeps her cute head bands on. I love being a mother of two!

Cousin Chloe got a pink tu-tu, but Bowen wanted to dance in it. He danced all over my parents back yard for at least a half hour. Will he be dancer when he grows up? Seth hopes not!

Happy 4th & Blessing Day

Leah received her baby blessing on the 4th of July. It was a really sweet day, especially since my mom and I got the dress done in time. Leah, you should know that we lost a lot of sleep and you discovered your thumb during the hours we spent making your dress.

Leah at 2 months

Leah just turned 2 months old. She now weighs 11 lbs. 8 oz. and is 23 1/2 inches. We are so happy to have her in our home! She is a very happy girl, AND not to brag but she slept for 10 hours straight last night. What a sweetheart!
