Cause it's so hard to wait...

This is my friends Keri's daughter...she is a doll! I can't believe I'm just meeting her! Life is too busy sometimes!

Zander Jack's first sink bath!

We used to bathe Cohen in the sink all the time. This was Zander's first soak in the kitchen sink...and he was in heaven! Luckily Dustin was able to catch his splashing craziness on video...it was awesome!

Mother's Day 2011

This was my first official Mother's Day with Zander. I love being a mom of two boys they make me smile everyday. I wanted to thank my boys for a special weekend filled with pampering! Dustin started the weekend with a fun date night...we went out to dinner, he picked out my new dress, and then took me to Water for Elephants! Then on Saturday night he fed Zander his 2:30 bottle and let me sleep in...then woke me up to a yummy breakfast in bed! It ended just as sweet as it began when Zander fell asleep on my shoulder. It was perfect! Thanks D for flying in town and making my Mother's day so special. I love you guys!

7 months!

Zander turned 7 months so we did a little photo shoot while Cohen was asleep. His Skye Johansen shoot is Thursday...I can't wait! We were visited by Grammie and Gramps this weekend. We also had a surprise visitor (daddy) for about 20 hours! It was such a fun weekend!

Easter

I've decided I need to be better about taking everyday pictures...it's just hard to pull out my big camera all the time. My awesome sister in law filled in my gaps with easter pictures...I'll have to edit this post later. Cohen is starting to understand holidays He went on his first Egg hunt at our friends house. He stood just looking at all the eggs until he realized what was inside! This kid loves candy! We are in so much trouble! We then got together and dyed eggs with the Mealeys. The boys did great minus a large yellow dye spill on Cohen's part. On Easter Sunday we went to church, took naps, and had another hunt and yummy dinner at Nanna and Pappa Rog's house. It was a great Easter!

six months

Zander turned 6 months this past week. I have been meaning to do a post about it however, his 6 month check was pushed back due to an ear infection. As soon as that happens I will be gushing over how sweet this little guy is....until then check out these rolls!

This has been a month that I have been waiting for. I love this age! I've really been seeing his personality come through. Zander is a calm and sweet baby. His whole face lights up when he smiles. Zander cries when he needs something or his brother makes loud noises. He gives a pouty lip as a warning then throws his head back and screams. Cohen is also the best person to make Zander really laugh! We have a few of these moments on tape and it makes me smile knowing how much he loves his big brother. Zander is sitting up all by himself...and loves it! He loves to play with toys and objects within reach. Today he grabbed a bag of bread off the a shelf while we were eating breakfast. He also likes to sit in the tub (with a little help) but he seems a little overwhelmed by the water. Zander has started eating baby food. At first he closed his lips tight...but now he anticipates each bite and leans forward with his mouth open. We finally moved him from his swing to his crib! He is doing great. His brown hair is starting to lighten. We are also getting ready for hair cut number two! His Skye Johansen pictures are next week...I hope he is good! Here are his 6 month stats:

length: 26.5 inches 75% ish

Weight: 17 lbs 8 oz 75% ish

head circ: 46.5cm 96%

For Gib...

Right before I got married I went to Italy and fell in love with four amazing friends. One of them just had this sweet little guy. He is such a precious addition to their family. Gibby taught me so much about photography I'm so glad we're friends!
