Smith, Smith, and More Smith

Smith is so dang cute. He's almost 4 months and is basically irresistible. We all just want to kiss him, squeeze him, and make him laugh all day. He's been sleeping through the night for a while now and still eats like a champ. Basically, I love this little guy more and more every second.

Giggly guy... What's better than a laughing baby?!? I love how Zane can't resist coming to help me laugh with Smith.  I also like his baby voice with him at the end saying "Gigglepuss."  I don't know where he got that. :)

Emmy loves feeding Smith.  Sometimes I even find her feeding him an empty bottle while he's laying on the floor playing.  I love how she's so focused in this picture and then in the video below it she's not really paying attention.  Smith is patient with her.

Happy guy!  The other night, he layed by me and talked to me for an entire hour!  It was the best.

Here are two videos of tons of talking. Love it!






He can sit up in toys now but doesn't love them yet

He's starting to lift his legs up and flip them over to the side.  This day we thought he was getting close to rolling over, but he still hasn't.

He does like being on his tummy - for a few minutes at least.

He also loves laying on my knees and looking down at me.  I do get drooled on a lot but it's worth it to see his sweet face.

One more random video.  I can always get a smile out of Smith when I show him himself in the mirror.

Smith is doing so well. Since he's been off his oxygen he's been the happiest little guy. He's been thriving and is now sleeping really well too.
He's starting to scream more when he's happy, dislike his carseat more, grab toys, hair, anything in front of him, roll to his side and rotate around, laugh super hard, and snuggle with his blanket.
Emmy loves sharing her toys with Smith.

Zane and Emerson love playing with Smith. They hang out with him all the time.
Judi, my aunt, took the kids to an indoor amusement park. As you can imagine they had an awesome time. Both kids wanted to try every ride. Zane spent a lot of his time analyzing how the rides worked - he's always thinking and trying to figure things out!


Silly girl


Random pics just hanging out

We got to go to the Museum of Nature and Science with my friend Katy and her boys. They got to do some hands on activities and also got to see some really cool stuff.
Zane was uncovering a fossil
We also got to meet Sue the T-Rex. They loved the dinosaurs and Emmy even asked if she could get into the are with the T-Rex to get closer. Sorry about the tiny pic.
Nancy, Zack's mom, got us this super hero shirt for Smith. It's so cute - Zane and Emmy called him Super Smith all day.
We celebrated Zane's half birthday at school since his July4th bday hits outside of school. He got to hold the earth and travel around the candle (which represented the sun) to show how many years old he is. He was also excited to hand out cupcakes to his friends.
I can't believe this is Zane's last semester of preschool. We just registered him for Kindergarten next year...CRAZY!
Emmy got to join the celebration. She LOVED being part of the group and getting a chance to play with the kids. She will be ready for preschool next year for sure!
Another picture of Smith with his buddy Miller. They're growing fast - already 3 months old.

Miff (Emmy's version of Smith)

It's just getting easy to make Smith smile and laugh now. He's ticklish all over and is starting to respond with real belly laughs. He also smiles and talks back to all of us all the time - especially Zane!

This video is pretty long but I promise it get better starting about half way in. The last half has some smiles, talking, and laughs.



Just trying out some new sounds with his mouth, nothing too exciting, but cute.

Zoo Lights

We love going to the Zoo Lights every year. This year we went on a pretty warm night and everyone was happy pretty much the whole time so it was a success.
The whole fam
(Here's a picture of the four of us without Smith last year).


They loved this spiderweb.
Their favorite part is usually the rainforest.

Brothers...
This girl likes to wink.
