3 months old!

Britton is already 3 months old! I can't believe how time flies. He is a smiley little guy. He loves to show off how strong he is by standing up and not wobbling too much. He cooes when he is talked or sung to. I think he is becoming more fond of his big brother; he watches everywhere he walks when he is in the room and smiles at him when he talks to him. We love our little Britton bug!

Heading to Sundance?

My sister-in-law, Melanie, asked me today how Britton likes his bath...

I can only guess, but it is surely one of my favorite parts of the day!

Potty Training?

We received a potty chair from Isaac's cousin a while ago and thought we should get it out to have Andrew get used to the idea of going potty. He went one night, lost interest, then went again one other night. Well, tonight we were laying down to go to bed and Andrew said "I ooeey" so we checked to see if his pullup was wet or poopy which it wasn't. We were going to disregard this, but then he was very insistant and jumping out of his bed. I took him into the bathroom and he proceeded to go peepee in the potty. I was so proud of him! This picture on the potty chair cracks me up. He is in his diaper, reading a pottery barn kids magazine, and sucking a dumdum. My little multitasker!

2 months already!

Britton is already 2 months old! We had his doctors appointment yesterday. He is 14 pounds 10 ounces and 24.5 inches long. We actually hit the charts this time coming in at 94% on weight and 96% on height. We also blessed him on July 19th. Isaac did a wonderful job on the blessing. Britton cried a little. Andrew sat still with a dum-dum. What more could I ask for? We had a fun party with family and friends afterwards, welcoming Britton into our family!

Our Garden

We planted a garden at the beginning of May in a tiny section of our yard after being instructed to by our stake president (and like we should anyway). I have never planted a garden so Andrew, Isaac, and I worked on getting the weeds pulled and Isaac planted tomato plants zucchini plants, and cucumber plants. Yes, it is a little bit overgrown, but I am amazed when I look at it. We have had several zucchini already but today I picked the first ripe tomatoes.....way exciting to me. My sister-in-law, Emily, thinks I am just as excited about the garden as I was about my new child...similar feelings, but the child of course wins out on that one. We also have an apricot tree and two apple trees that Isaac has been spraying and the fruit on them is out of control. I don't love apricots, but these have been pretty good.

Cute kids!

We had a fun little photo shoot the other day when Britton woke up. He was happy and looking everywhere so we wanted to get a good picture of the boys together. Thanks to Aunt Emily and Uncle Jacob on binky patrol, we were able to get a couple of fun pictures.

Britton's room

I love how Britton's room turned out. The safari theme seems quite popular for little boys clothes and rooms lately and I have always loved giraffes so I fell for this bedding. I finally got the vinyl lettering up on the wall so here is the final result and the cute little guy in his crib.

A rare moment

Andrew's little friend

Andrew loves Britton. He calls him beebee, long for baby! This morning I was feeding Britton and Andrew took his hat off of his head and put it on the baby. He then put on daddy's hat that is the same as his. I had to get a picture of them together because it was so cute. Andrew loves to hold him even if it is for just a second. He loves to give him kisses and to pat his head. He has decided his job is to help burp the baby and I let him do so with a reminder that he has to be soft.
