Poor Baby

Aydan got his first "real" haircut on Monday. Aydan's Noni (Peter's mom) has been the only one that has cut his hair, but mom really wanted a nice haircut, so off we went to get a haircut. We went to a really cute place that had movies and airplanes and trucks that Aydan could sit in. Aydan was being so good, I think he was in shock, he was not moving a muscle. So when the lady said oops, I got his ear a little bit I was surprised. Poor Aydan didn't even cry. As you will see it is not just a little cut, the lady took a chunk from his ear. It bled for at least 10 minutes and Aydan said it hurt a little bit. Thankfully Aydan was nice enough to let the lady finish cutting his hair, so his haircut is super cute, but it cost us part of his ear. What a first haircut experience!

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?

These are pictures of cute little Sam pulling his hair. That is the bad thing with all of his hair, he likes to hold on to things and sometimes that is his hair. It makes him really sad when he pulls his own hair. For the parents it makes us laugh!

One Month Old

On Sunday Sam turned one month old. He is finally smiling at us. It brings us such joy when we see him smiling and looking at us. Sam is a pretty good baby. Except at night he likes to cry for a couple of hours usually from 8-10pm. Go figure. I think he is just telling us he has had a long day. I know that by the end of the day I am ready to cry for a couple of hours because I am so worn out. Well enjoy the pictures of Sam.

Red Butte Gardens

Its been awhile since I last posted. Life has been pretty busy with the new baby. Aydan loves his new brother. Anytime he cries he says "Oh Sam I'll be right there" and runs to wherever Sam is. Aydan is a great help, he can help get diapers and even burp Sam. We are having a great time. Recently we went to Red Butte Gardens, it is one of our favorite summer activites. We just walked around and Aydan played in the children's garden. Not too exciting but we had a good time.
