Been busy







Goodness, where does the time go?????? I don't even know where to begin! For the past month, we've had non-stop guests (my mom & stepdad, Andrew's parents, Kelly & Glenn Ott, and one of my best friends from Alaska, Kim, just left 2 days ago.) You can also throw in giving birth Tavin, Thanksgiving, my birthday ( the 6th), Christmas decorating, sick kid, doctor's apt.'s, picture apt.'s, sitting on Santa (well, Tavin sat on Santa; Salem was scared shitless once she laid eyes on him), and I can't even remember what else...but I know there's a ton more under this sleep deprived mind of mine!

Tavin's 2 week well baby checkup went as planned...he's right on track and growing like a weed! As of yesterday, he's out of preemie diapers (Salem wore them for the first 2 months of life), he can fit into "some" newborn sets, and is my little snuggle bear. He LOVES to cuddle up with mommy and sleep; I just love it!




Weight: 6 pounds, 14 ounces
Height: 19 inches.....what the heck? Tavin was 19 1/2 inches at birth. Someone told me that it's "normal" and babies shrink in size after the cone head goes down. Tavin never had a cone head to begin with. He came out to darn fast for such a thing to occur. Oh well, I'll let it go that they said my kid shrunk!
Head: 35 cm.

I have bucket loads of photos to share with you; however, I'm still trying to figure out how to use my birthday present to its fullest! Yes ya'll, he delivered! Andrew surprised me with the camera that I've been asking for for years.....okay, months (Canon Rebel XSi!) I love it, but dread the learning process that is associated with new gadgets.

I found the picture from Salem's annoucement the other day and am surprised (not really) at how much they look alike!!

I am sooooooo JEALOUS of the camera. Someday.
