Izzy and Aspen are about 3 months apart. They have lots of fun together.

Mitchell is about 6 months behind Izzy. He'll catch up soon enough! He really enjoyed himself!

Friday Night Family Dinner

Last Friday night we got together with a few of our friends with children. We all met at a Thai restaurant in town. The place has great food and a cafeteria like atmosphere. We thought it was a great place for our families to get together- loud and crazy- so as not to offend any of the other patrons with babies screaming- even if the only people screaming were the adults!

Moon Boots???

When I found out I was having a baby boy, I knit the blue pair of booties that Mitchell is wearing in the picture above. I think they look a little like moon boots...

It was over 70 degrees in Fort Collins on Saturday. It was so nice! Anna and I took Mitchell outside to enjoy the weather. He was walking in the grass, which is still dead for the most part- so it was really prickly on his feet.

I am trying to get him interested in nature! Here, we examine a pine cone.

Daddy's 32nd birthday

TJ turned 32 on Monday. His parents were here and we went to the Moothouse for dinner. Mitchell was so good. He sat in his pumpkin seat for some of dinner- the restaurants now a days can turn the high chairs upside down so that the baby seats fit snugly into them. So he was propped up at the dinner table with us. Sharing a glass of Cabernet with us. After he had enough of that, I held him and he fell asleep in my arms. Like the little angel that he is! He never cried once- which was a completely different story from the last time we were at the Moothouse. That was the night of his 2 month well check. His Tylenol wore off 1/2 way through dinner. We left in a hurry!

Mitchell is eyeing the cake that Kris baked for TJ. He was really interested in the candles after we lit them and turned off the light.

Shannon and John's Visit

Mitchell is so happy in the mornings. He loves to play with this activity center. He will lay there forever just grabbing and talking to his toys that hang from above.

He's so smiley. As you can tell, he's really into it!

Shannon and John's Visit

Mitchell doesn't know what to think of his first taste of a strawberry.

Mitchell and Uncle John size each other up. Uncle John knows how to handle baby boys. He's got two big boys of his own. DJ and Willie still need to come and visit their cousin!

He's so ticklish. It's really fun. We have to remind ourselves to not do it too much!
