Cold Spring

These are pictures I took on April 8th. We still had snow on and off for about another week and then a lot of rain and cold after that. Actually, we've only had about three or four days of pleasant weather with sunshine in that last four or five months. It's been a long winter. But we took advantage of this late snow and had some fun building snow forts and throwing snowballs at each other.

First Bath

We didn't give Jonah his first bath until last Saturday, April 2nd. We always just wait with our babies until the cord comes completely off and the circumcision is healed, since they don't really get dirty.

Here he is, getting washed by Mama.

When Westley was in the NICU after he was born, the nurses showed us how to wash his hair and face after he was bathed and wrapped in a warm towel, so that's how we've done it with all our babies. Corey likes to do that part, and the babies always love how soothing it is to get their hair washed like that.

We made his first bath a whole family affair--the kids looked on while Corey and I did the bathing. They were very excited about it and interested in how it was all done.

Another New Playmate

See the tennis ball in Jonah's bouncy seat? Snoopy is eager to have another new friend to play ball with him! He seems to realize that this is another baby that will grow into a kid that he can play with.



Or maybe Snoopy just couldn't find anyone else willing to throw his ball to him.

Daddy and Jonah

I just love how Corey loves to hold and feed and cuddle with our newborn babies. He is such a great dad!

Springtime in Utah

On Friday, April 1st, we had a beautiful day--temps in the 70s, only slightly breezy--so we took a walk (the whole family, Jonah in the infant seat/stroller) to the nearby park and got some much needed sunshine.


On Sunday, April 3rd, we woke up to this:

And the weather has been pretty cold ever since. Still waiting to thaw out here. Gotta love spring in Utah.

New Entertainment

The kids are just loving baby Jonah and just watching him keeps them entertained. In fact, it's a job to keep them from him--we've had to set rules that they can't bother him when he is sleeping and eating, which is, of course, most of the time. They are completely enamored with him though.



And why not? After all, look how cute he is!

Visit from Grandparents

After Jonah was born, we had visits from Aunt Jamie and Nana and then from Grandpa and Grandma. Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures, but we did get a couple pictures of Grandpa with the grandkids.
