Two Months Old

On July 15th Samuel turned 2 months old. Time has gone by so fast, too fast. Aydan is still loving Sammy and having fun being a big brother. We are still adjusting to having a newborn, I miss my sleep! Sam had his 2 month appointment he weighs 11lbs 7oz(36%) and is 24 inches tall(80%). He is tall and skinny. Surprise, surprise! He had to get three shots and some vaccine orally. He gagged on the oral vaccine and made a big fuss. The shots were not too bad, he screamed when he first got the shots but as soon as I picked him up he stopped crying. It breaks my heart to see him so sad. He is smiling and laughing more than he cries which is a big step!

Our Backpacking Trip

This weekend July18-19th we took Aydan backpacking with some neighbors, Nan, Aaron and Asia. We all had a great time. Aydan hiked the whole 3/4 mile to Cliff Lake then all the way back down the next day. What a trooper! It was fun to be able to spend some alone time with just Aydan and Peter. Aydan has been needing some mommy time. Aydan loved to throw rocks in the lake and play in the tent. It was beautiful in the Uintas and we really enjoyed spending time with Aydan. I think his favorite part was playing with Asia and trying to boss her around.

Sam's Blessing

On Sunday July 13th we blessed Sam. Sam was able to wear the same blessing outfit as Aydan and Peter. It was very special to see him wearing something that all my boys have worn, it was a great tradition that we were able to pass on. Sam was great during the blessing, and even opened up his eyes at the end. He was so cute, when Peter showed everyone Sam you could hear people sigh and laugh. I sure do love my little Sam. We are very blessed to have another little boy and he is so dang cute! Also included is the picture of Aydan in the same blessing outfit. What does everybody think, do they look alike?
