Baby picture update

I know it has been a little while since I have posted pictures of my handsome lil guy. What can I say, life got busy. I must also admit that its hard to take pictures of Reese for me. Often I am afraid I won't capture the beauty I see in him. Also my trusty camera phone is filling up quickly with photos because its the camera I have out when he is being so darn cute. The bullet has been bitten and I am rather pleased at the results so I expect more to come much more frequently.






My favorite of this round. Its a bit grainy but I like that effect. (it wasn't on purpose, the flash didn't fire) Still I love it. Computer backround here I come!






Wide eyed and wondering here. Most of the shots this time were of his head, so here is one of the few with some body. He is not starving I can tell you that.






This is the face I see most mornings when he wakes up. Its dangerous to have something that can melt a heart so quickly. I think I will take the risk.



The tongue gets a cameo here. He has learned a new sense, taste. If it gets near his mouth its fair game. You have been warned :)



Even though everyone tells you how much your life is going to change, you prepared yourself as best you can, its indescribable the actual change. As a friend told me, I am now forever connected to Kati through Reese. He slept in his own room the first time two nights ago. The urge to get up and check on him was intense but I kept it at bay. Last night no such will power. I had to go in and make sure he was okay. Of course he was and oh so beautiful. I am delighted to see the boy he becomes, and to have the time with him now. Love you Reese.

The next month

Its another month we've had with Reese. I am still as happy as ever. His smiles are coming more frequent, and in general he is such a good baby. Over the 4th of July we went to San Pete to have some fun in the sun. Reese got his first taste of swimming.






Here you can see he is not enjoying it.


His mom thought it was funny, Reese on the other hand, still not having fun. I must admit the water was a little chilly, and after a few more times he was fine in the water. He didn't stay long though, again it was kinda cold.




And some more photos because I have been slacking.....





Can you believe how big he is getting. We have the two month check up tomorrow and we will get the official stats. By our calculations he is 24" and between 11 and 12 pounds.




We love you Reese!

I should have backed up.....

I was in the process of updating my phone when I got an error. It made it so my phone would not work at all. They gave me a new phone with no questions, but alas no more contact list. Lame I know. So for all of you that read the blog, please email me your info, Number, address and the like. Off to find a power cord for the old phone.

The little guy is 3 weeks old.

Reese is now three weeks old. He is doing well, growing tall, and even had a little belly. Today we had a mini shoot in the kitchen after his bath. This guy is adorable.






I have to get a shot of his feet, I LOVE them.






I call him my "Handsome Boy" I think its obvious why.



You can see his eyelashes now.



This is the face we see all the time.



We are still excited and learning new things everyday. All is well, his jaundice is almost unnoticeable. Grandma Winona thinks his eyes will be brown. We will see.

A day at the Zoo

On Thursday the wife and kid and I went to the zoo. Jenni and Lyndsee joined us, well truthfully they encouraged the trip in the first place. It was HOT. We had a good time.




Kati and Lyndsee in the kid area. Lyndsee was having quite a bit of fun.




Some pelicans chillin' in the shade






Giraffes, this guy was just pacing back and forth inside. Maybe he didn't want to be in the sun.


The girls just outside the Giraffe area.


"What are you looking at?"



Its like I am on a Safari.

If you eat your vegetables you can grow up big and strong like this guy.



I took lots more pictures but not realistic to post them all here. It will be even more fun my boy is old enough to have fun like Lyndsee did. And I think the snake slide was her favorite.

Nacho Night

We were surprised by Andy with a phone call. He wanted nachos, and so did we. Next thing you know we are eating nachos chasing Wes around my house and having a good old time. Being the old folks we are every one left at like 7, except the McKelvies. So we went to the park around the corner and played for a bit.


This is Wes on the top of the BIG slide.



What a happy fun loving family.

4 days old now

So I have been hearing it from a couple of people to hurry and get some photos of Reese up. Here are a few more. This were taken mostly by Sheri, and if I am not in them, it was me.


Proof I have changed a diaper. And my IQ drops when my handsome boy is near.


How can you not love this one. Look at those itty bitty feeties.

One of the few I left in color. He is a bit yellow in color, both mom and I had Jaundice. His isn't severe but alas he has some weird coloring.

A simple one but effective, I think.



..... Need I say more.

And I know what your thinking, where is the mom? Those of you ladies who have had kids probably know how much you want to be photographed 4 days later. And for those who don't well, it may be a while before I get a couple of her posted. If we are being honest, you just want to see Reese.
