Tyler at 3 months

Tyler is now already 3 months old and "little" Natalie is just about 22 months! Life is crazy but wonderful with both of them! Tyler is now 13 1/2 pounds...well over half of Natalie's current weight of about 22 lbs and more than she weighed at 7 months! She's doing so well with Tyler and loves her little bro. We cannot wait until he's able to hold his own more so she can play with him more. She really wants to and it's so hard to understand that he's too little to play ball and such. He's not sleeping through the night yet, but we'll get there (hopefully soon!). He's smiling all the time now (I love that!) and really cooing and vocalizing a lot as well. It's really fun to "talk" back and forth with him and he loves it! I have to say that while we're excited for the photography season to pick up momentum again, it's been quite a blessing to have so much time just to parent during these first few months of two little ones!

Enjoy these latest pics...there's a bunch cause I just love them all!

This one makes me smile...wow he's loving life at this moment!!






And here's Natalie...


Best buds...are we blessed or what?!?!




Natalie's reaction as Tyler is slipping out of her grip...this part is funny but then we had tears when he landed on the hardwoods...


Trying again...this time with an outfit change. Tyler's in the custom onesie from Todd, Nicola, & Gabrielle...


Fun with Dad! While Jon runs back and forth (with Natalie following each time he resets the camera timer), Mom desperately tries to calm Tyler down with more to eat...these pictures are much more appreciated when you know how hard he worked for them!






Content again with a full tummy...




If I HAD to choose a favorite favorite, this just might be the one!

Tyler at 2 months

Our little boy is growing up! We'll soon be taking his 3 month pictures, but here are favorites from the 2 month session in January. Currently he's still eating all the time and at least 12 pounds already! At his 8 week well-check, he was 65% for weight and 85% for height...what a different experience from Natalie!! For comparison, Natalie finally hit 12 pounds just before she was 6 months old! He's doing much better with his gas/screaming episodes...they've decreased a lot. He sometimes goes down on his own at night (around 10 pm) but lately is pretty active until closer to midnight. Once he's asleep for that first round, he gives me about 5 hours and then goes back to needing to eat every 2-3. Overall not bad. Life is pretty crazy and busy with 2 kids and the business (thankfully we are in the slow times as far as my time every day goes). We're currently enjoying a great visit with Jon's sister Julie (Aunt Lil) and one of her dogs, Treo. We'll have to post some of our snowshoeing pictures with her from this past weekend.

Too funny!


Super-baby!




"Okay guys, do you think we can be done soon?"
