Merry Christmas



I LOVE today. As I look at my beautiful baby, I think of the most humble birth of my Savior. And celebrate the world's greatest gift, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas friends! We have so much to be merry about! Our year has been one with great blessings. We are grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who has given us these amazing gifts. May we all remain worthy of the gift that was given that first Christmas night!

A Blessed Day

Sunday, Dec 6th, Mark and I were thrilled to bring our sweet baby to church, surround ourselves with family and friends and bless our little man. It was really more than I ever imagined. After church we went to my brother & sister-in-law's home for some tasty food and great fellowship. That's right, I said it- fellowship!


Here's our first family picture since the hospital.



We were making a scene.
Best kisses are right when he's getting hungry.

We love to talk, and you can get a a good look at those little side and back rolls.


Today we called GiGi (short for great-grandma), Mark's Grandma Gentle so she could hear Marky talking. Grandma- these are the faces he was making!

These are all pictures a super good friend took for us. Thanks Lisa B (what up punk) for posting these pictures for us. I have to get my camera from Mark to show you how cute he was in his blessing outfit. It was to-die-for cute!

Party Pooper or Poo-Poo Party?

Well you see...I had to drop my cousin Lisa off at the airport early (for me) Monday morning. Upon returning home I had a serious diaper to change. Mr. Marky had quite the poopy mess. I pulled a good amount off with the diaper, started wiping him up and noticed it was going up his back a little, getting caught by his pocketed waistband (thank you Huggies). I lifted his legs a little higher and guess what happened? Yep, he sprayed poop everywhere! It went all over. I was trying to get the poop moved away from him (since he had no changing pad cover on his changing pad) his legs were still up in the air when he started peeing. And it was going over the changing station down the wall. So I lowered his legs and began to block the pee with my left hand. Once we was done and wet I was back to work cleaning him up when his butt exploded again! Up his legs go so he's not sitting in poop when he starts peeing down the wall again. With pee in my left hand and poop in my right and laughing hysterically, I was unable to get a picture. Not that you would've wanted to see it but it really was a stinky good time. After about 57 wipes and 800 paper towels, every thing went into the washer and every one got in the shower. We got showered and had a much needed nap after that. It was a good day.

On an almost sad note-I packed up most of the 0-3 months clothes last night. The newborns have been gone a while. My little man is growing SO fast. 2.5 weeks ago he weighed in at 14 lbs 3 oz. I'm positive he's more than 15 lbs now. He's got the absolute cutest and cuddliest body ever. I really just want to eat him up. Here are some pictures of his beautiful body during a naked baby run.

Seriously...

...CUTE!
My camera has smile detection. Once I hit the shutter it will recognize and capture 6 smiles at a time. I love all his smiles.






















Today I'm in love with my camera! Every day I'm in love with my men!
