Tummy Time with Jaybird

Pay no attention to the crazy woman talking in the background of this video. I'm just enjoying the fun tummy time with my girl!

Just another day...

I've been having a lot of fun on my maternity leave getting to sew lots of things. I made these fun hats for the kids this week. The boys have been asking for them for the past four months, but having this "time" I was actually able to do it. The one for Jayda is still a bit big, but you couldn't tell from this picture!

This is a great video of her playing in her play mat. I feel like she is so awake and alert for only being 5 weeks old. She is a lot of fun and we are starting to get a routine down. I have just three more weeks before I have to go back to work, so I hope to get lots of pictures and lots of snuggle time with all three of my gippers in before then!

The Clevelands Photography

A couple weeks ago we had the pleasure of having dear friends come to our house and take pictures of the family. Jeff and Jan Cleveland have their own photography company and came to do a newborn shoot with Jayda and caught these great images. Jeff gave me permission to post a few of these pictures.

Please check their blog out for more pictures and the fun that we had!

If you visit their blog, please leave a message, we'd love to hear from everyone!!

This was such a great shot of what our life is...dirty rugged tennis shoes and a sweet little pair of ballet slippers.

Quintessential Noah

People have asked if the boys love Jayda...this speaks to that very well.

Mama and Jayda

Micah was our helper that day, holding up the light maker (I know it has better name than that!!)

Love baby feet!

Sweet Baby

I dont' know what to call this post.

The hard part of having Noah in school all day is that Micah doesn't have his buddy to play with during the day. (It's also hard because I don't get as many pictures with Noah in them!!)

Micah still enjoys playing on the trampoline, but instead brings Fred, his teddy bear with him. The video at the bottom of the page shows how they "play" together.

I attempted to get into the trampoline with Micah, but that was a bad idea. I ended up getting what I think is a cute picture of the boy.

Micah is showing how he would protect Jayda. I especially like that he is already dressed as the Dark Knight!

We were having tummy time, but afterward she enjoyed some time of just laying on the floor. She loves being free...no swaddling this one! She sleeps better and awake time is better when she doesn't have all those blankets holding her down!

Sunday was our first day at church. She wore this beautiful dress that Grandma made for her. Chris got her ready (I was so proud of him). He even put tights on her! Isn't she just beautiful!!

Okay...this is the video! It's awesome!
