Kennedy - 10 days old

I had so much fun photographing Kennedy a couple weeks ago. She may have been one of the tiniest 10 day olds i've photographed yet. Born a few weeks early at 4lbs 8oz, I absolutely LOVED cuddling this perfect little girl.

Griffin - 6 months old

And just like that my baby is half a year old!!

So as of Feb. 20th, Griffin turned 6 months old, and he:

-Weighs 18lbs, 8oz. He is down from the 90th to 75th percentile for wt
-Is still in size 3 diapers and mostly 6-12 month clothes. 9month sleepers and a few 3-6 month outfits that I squeeze him into.
-Still is not a fan of nap time, unless of course he is in his car seat. He will nap in crib occasionally for 45min-1hr but for 2 hours in his car seat.
-Is up once a night, I totally jinxed myself by posting last month that he was sleeping through the night … Usually goes to bed around 7pm and is up between 3-5am, back down and up for the day around 7 or 8am.
-Has started on solids, he enjoys rice cereal and yams so far
-Loves putting anything and everything in his mouth, and particularly enjoys sucking his thumb
-LOVES his brother, and I love seeing the interactions they have together already
-also LOVES the dogs, he stares and smiles at them everytime they walk by
-Is sitting up with support, as well as standing with support
-Still doesn't quite get what he's supposed to do in the jolly jumper
-Makes some adorable sounds and recently has started making a soft sweet "dada" sound. I'm convinced that is just the easiest sound to make ;)

Sophia - 32 weeks

I had the pleasure of doing some photos for my cousin Jason and his gorgeous wife Sophia a couple weeks ago. This gorgeous couple is expecting their first baby in a little over a month. So excited to meet this little munchkin! 

Griffin - 5 months old

Yet another month has passed by, so now I have to call him 5 months old!?

He continues to be a super chill little dude … except during nap time … he does not enjoy napping. As soon as I put him down in the crib the water works start and I just can't handle listening to his sad cries. He naps like a champ in his carseat though, happy as can be when we are out and about.
He weighs 18lbs, I just love his chub
He had his first Christmas, and I must say, Christmas is getting more fun every year
He, dare I say it … is sleeping through the night! To bed around 7pm, awake around 7am.
He is officially sleeping unswaddled, in a sleep sac
He is sleeping in his crib now
He is in size 3 diapers and mostly 6-12 month clothes (9 month sleepers), most 3-6 month clothes are too small!
He can sit with support
He can stand with support
He has rolled from his belly to his back … once

Griffin - 4 months old

Griffin turned 4 months old on Dec. 20th. Can I just say I need this growing up business to slow down!

Here's a bit of what he has been up to lately:

- He weighs 17lbs (90th percentile) and is 25in long (50th percentile)
- He is now a chatty little guy, who makes quite possibly the cutest sounds ever
- He is so full of smiles and laughs, and i'm pretty sure he is ticklish
- He is awake more throughout the day now
- He lifts legs from hips, and flexes his legs to stand when we hold him
- He has officially been in the Jolly Jumper
- He frequently sits in the "bumbo" like chair
- He is a constant drool machine
- His hands are always in his mouth, and he has started to grab toys and put them in his mouth
- He is now in size 3 diapers, and 6 month sleepers, some 3-6 month and some 6-12 month clothes
- For most of the month he has been sleeping 8-6, with an extra wake up the occasional night (can't complain about that!)
- He officially has a crib to sleep in, but I can't bring myself to move him out of our room yet … i'm just not ready!
- He went on his first official road trip this month (to wainwright), where we took him swimming for the first time!

Griffin - 3 months old

Griffin turned 3 months old on November 20th! Here's what he has been up to this past month:

- We had our first halloween with both boys, and I must say Griffin was the CUTEST aviator in town
- He has some pretty awesome head control now
- He gives the best smiles  ALL the time and it even seems like he is laughing sometimes
- He weighs 17lbs!
- He now sleeps in the playpen in our room, as he very quickly outgrew the bassinet, and Coen is still using the crib for now.
- He continues to be a super chill little guy, goes to bed around 8pm, and usually sleeps 6-8 hours for his first stretch of the night. Usually up 1-3 times/night.
- He has found his hands, and enjoys sucking on them often
- He is now sporting 6 month outfits, I tried keeping him in the 0-3 for as long as possible, but I just had to give in … my baby's growing too fast!!
- We have started strollersize and he is his usual chill self during these classes … sleeps all class

Coen is 2!

Yup it's true … Coen turned 2 on Oct.30th! I can't believe 2 years have flown by already! Seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital! So we had a small, fun little monster themed birthday party for this special boy of ours.

Here's a few fun facts about our 2 year old:

-He loves all his stuffed animals, and in fact sleeps with all of them, but his Manny (stuffed bunny, used to be called Manu) is his best bud.
-He is still sleeping in his crib, and rarely wakes up at night. Our previous early riser has started sleeping until 7/8am, which is glorious (especially with a newborn in the house)
-He loves to color, play with "stickies" (stickers) "bubbies" (bubbles, or bubble guppies), "dungees" (Dinosaurs), cars, choo choo's, boats,
-Loves Manu, which is what he calls Toopie and Beanu, his favorite TV show
-Slightly obsessessed with the moon! He loves to look at the moon, and it's actually the easiest way for us to get him to go to bed (lets go look at the moon!)
-Can identify pretty much every letter of the alphabet. L is the only one he has trouble with
-Recently has developed the skill of being able to jump with both feet
-Loves to "bount" on the bed when he's given a chance
-Gives the best hugs
-Has the cutest pucker, sticking out his bottom lip
-He has a pretty advanced palate, and for the most part eats just about anything, including any ethnic foods (indian, thai, chinese)
-He loves Olives, broccoli, grapes, oranges, cheerios, peanut butter sandwiches, granola bars, and those pureed fruit squeeze packages are still a fav as well.
-He has dealt with the adjustment of becoming a big brother amazingly, we couldn't have asked for it to go much smoother.
-We have been told by numerous people that he is such a good boy, well natured, and a gentle soul.

We love you so much Coen, and can't wait to see what the next year brings ❤
Here are a few photos from the past year.
