Race and Polk City Rockets!

Adrian's 1st race of 2013 @ Earth Day in Valley Junction. The picture isn't the best but Adrian in wearing the yellow shirt on the left burning past the competition. Grandma Harden is trailing in the back for extra support and encouragement. 

Pre-race snack :)

 This Sat. was Adrian's 1st tee ball game. I will get some action shots at the next game but we took this one before we headed to Bondurant. It was very cute and all the girls did great. The cutest thing during the game was when Adrian stopped a grounder and threw it to 1st base and looked over at Mitch and gave him a thumbs up :) Sweetest thing ever seeing that smile and little thumb sticking up!

Week 3 Update

Yesterday was Lawson's 3 Week B-day!!! He has changed so much and is growing so fast. Last week he had his 2 week appt which went great. Here are some of his stats: Weight: 9lbs (59%); Height: 22 inches (96%). His stats are pretty close to Adrians, but weighs a little more then she did. Three nights ago I started having him sleep in his big crib which has been going pretty well. He wakes up twice to nurse but other then that he does pretty good.  

I snapped some photos of Lawson this morning! 

The photos went from alert Lawson, yawning, tired, and lastly upset all within 30 seconds :)

Mom's cue that the photo session is over :)

2013 Spring School Pictures

Adrian had her school pictures taken April 2nd, which turned out good for as hectic as it was that morning. We had to have her dropped off by 7am to get downtown by 7:30 for my C-section that morning. School pics have come a long way since I was in kid.  They have fun backgrounds and photo props now :)

Lawson Michael Noel

Lawson arrived one week ago from today! Below are some of his stats:

Birthdate: 4-2-2013

Time: 9:59am

Weight: 8lbs. 3oz.

Length: 20in.

Lawson has been a great little baby. He rarely cries and seems like a pretty laid back little boy. We are getting settled in good at home and I am looking forward to the next several weeks I will have with Lawson. I return to work June 19th, taking a total of 11 weeks of maternity leave.

 This is my attempt at taking "semi-professional" pics since we didn't buy the ones at hospital.

 It isn't easy getting a newborn positioned for a picture while staying asleep.
