I just enjoyed a nice ten minutes reading my sister-in-law's blog and admiring the cute pictures of her girls - and decided it's time that, for the sake of family history if for nothing else, I make a better effort to record things more often. So here are a few recent highlights, we'll see if I can make a better habit of this in the future.
Will joined our family on September 10th! Despite a lot of initial stress and worries about being an adequate mom to two children, he has become part of our family and I can't imagine life without him.
Jack is a perfect big brother and LOVES Will. Watching them interact makes my heart melt every time.
We had family pictures taken a month after Will was born, and they turned out great! Minus the part where Jack accidentally sat on Will's head... whoops.
We celebrated our fourth anniversary in December. We rode Frontrunner to Salt Lake, saw a cool 3D movie at the planetarium, ate at Olive Garden, and walked around to see the lights at Temple Square. It had just snowed/was snowing, and it was absolutely beautiful.
Jack has been loving the snow. He went sledding for the first time over Christmas break, and he even went down the whole hill all by himself, yelling "Fun! Fun!" the whole time. He really really wants to go sledding on his birthday, so we're praying for snow in the next couple of days.
Will is almost 5 months old now and weighs more than Jack did at 6 months. His long dark hair has mostly fallen out except in a stripe on top of his head. He still prefers to put his face in the blanket and cry rather than roll over, even though he knows how to do it and can do it when he feels like it. He loves sweet potatoes and peas and hates fruit or anything sweet (seriously?!). He's super happy and easygoing and sleeps through the night most nights, although on occasion he decides he wants to be fed at 4am and there's no convincing him otherwise.
