Friends

Emma came to visit. She is absolutely adorable- sunkissed and in pink :)



Brad's cousin, Asher, came to visit also. Brad hasn't laughed much since his first but Asher got a few laughs out of him.

Brad's first laugh

I was so lucky to get this on video- Brad started laughing June 25th. It only lasted about 5 minutes and I haven't been able to get him to laugh since!

Brad's Blessing

Here are some pictures of Brad on his Blessing day. Ryan's mom made his little outfit- he looks so cute and grown up in a vest! :) Thanks Carolyn!

Update...

We finally moved into our first home! We got the keys on Tuesday, June 2nd. Wednesday, we drove up to Cedar City to get all of our stuff out of our storage unit and we spent our first night there Thursday along with company! John & Marcy came down Thursday night and the rest of the family came down Friday for Brad's blessing. The weekend consisted of unloading lots of boxes, sleeping on air mattresses, trying to find soap and towels to use, checking out the new tv, and lots of fun. Thanks to Marcy and Carolyn, the kitchen was all unpacked and put together within the first day or two so we were able to eat! It was a busy weekend- and fun to have all the company! We are still trying to get the house together and deciding where to hang pictures etc... there's only so much time to get stuff done during naptime!







Speaking of naps, Brad is now sleeping through the night (for a week now)! He had his 2 month check up last week. He is 12 lbs (50th percentile), 23 inches (75th percentile), and his head circumference is in the 75th percentile. He's growing strong and healthy! He is cooing a lot more along with smiling.

Ryan just found out that he passed his last CPA test (out of 4 total)! He is relieved to have it over with. I've got such a smart honey... I don't know how I got so lucky! :) He's also having fun around the house fixing things and cleaning up the garage... man stuff.

Silly Faces

Backing up...

Since I have been bad at blogging and getting my pictures organized, the next few posts are going to be out of order... better late than never right?

Our friend took these pictures for us when Brad was a week old.
