Baby Photos

While we were in Idaho, we dug out some old family photos to compare and see who Nixon looks more like, his mom or dad. What do you think? We could see a little of both in him, but maybe a little more of Chase!



That's Janessa if you couldn't tell :)

This is Janessa with Ashlee, and their Aunt Wendy. I thought it was so cute how my hands and Nixon's were both clasped the same right after being born. Nixon is below..

Fourth Anniversary

We celebrated our four-year Anniversary on Aug. 9th! We went to dinner at Red Lobster and of course took our little tag-along :) Throughout the day, we talked about different things we remembered from our wedding day. We talked about how much we have grown as a couple, how much more in love we are today than the day we were married, and how much we have learned from each other. I feel so blessed to have already had 4 years with the love of my life.

Year number four has been a big one! We lived in Arkansas last summer, Chase started Dental School, I was pregnant, Primary President, we moved to Omaha, we had Nixon, and Chase started his second year of Dental School. It has been "the year of change," but all for the good. We are so excited to see what year number 5 has in store!

The pics below are of us when we were dating, almost 5 years ago!!



This is from our Honeymoon in Jackson Hole.

2 Months Old/Blessing Day

2 Months Old!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It seems like we were JUST at the hospital getting ready to have our little guy, but at the same time it feels like we have always had him.

Here are some highlights:

Weighing 12 lbs. and 23 inches long

Smiling more and more

Still loves to snuggle on people and take naps (he did this LOTS in Idaho :)

Loves his tubs

Still loves to be swaddled

Him and his paci get along pretty well :)

Losing some hair creating a distinct line across the back of his head :)

Still eating every 3 hours or so, 3.5 oz

Sleeps 7 hours, eats, and then goes back to sleep for another 2 (most nights)

Content and happy baby

Nixon was blessed in Idaho on July 24th, on exactly his 2 Month birthday. It was such a sweet experience and we are so grateful we were able to share it with our friends and families.
Here he is after a shower with his daddy getting ready for the big day
Grandma Elle and Nixon

What a handsome little bugger..

Trip to Idaho

This post is kind of a lengthy one! We were able to go to Idaho for 2 1/2 weeks, and we had lots of visiting friends and family to do. We got to "show off" Nixon to TONS of our friends and family and it was so great. Nixon was 2 months old when everyone FINALLY got to meet him.

The above picture is of Nixon on his first plane ride. He couldn't have done any better! He slept through take offs, and landings and just snuggled next to us for most of the trip.
Here he is meeting his Great Grandma Nye for the first time
And meeting his Auntie Bubba for the first time as well
