Straight Hair

I straighten my hair once and awhile and this time McKinna wanted her hair straight too. She looks so big.

9 Months

Jamison has been crawling all over for the past 6 weeks. He also pulls himself to standing. He is such a boy. He already goes for his sisters hair, face, ears etc just to get her attention and I think to annoy her. He is still such a happy and good-natured boy. He always has a smile for mom, sister and dad and usually any strangers that smile at him.

Pictures

This was a fun photo session. The kids were both really happy. McKinna is 3 and 4 months and Jamison is 7 1/2 months in these photos.

Fun

My Mom, Dad, and sister Teri took a trip up to Yellowstone Park for a day while we were visiting Daddy in Idaho Falls while he's working. Grandma bought this hat for her and she wouldn't take it off.



McKinna really enjoyed playing with Cannon over the Independance Day weekend. She asked if he could come back and play for several days after he left.



McKinna loves that all of us have "Bronco Stuff."

6 Months Old

Jamison is scooting backward and wiggling forward. He gets frustrated right now because I know he wants to keep up with McKinna.

Big Girl

McKinna has always been such a water baby. She will pour cold water on her head and laugh. We got her a small pool and she loves to sit with mommy in it and sing songs.



McKinna has been such a big helper since Jamison joined our family. She likes to help cook and clean. Even though it takes longer for mommy I know that it makes her happy to help.

5 Months Old

Jamison is wanting to be such a big boy already. He loves this toy because he sees and hears McKinna play with it often.




He has taken to cereal really well. He just likes to eat in general.



Jamison is all over the floor and loves to use his voice. He still is such a happy and smiley baby. McKinna loves to make him laugh.

4 Months Old

Jamison is doing so well. He giggles and smiles so much. He is such a content baby. This month he learned to roll over, grab his feet, grab his toys, blanket and binkie, and holds his head up with little to no wobbles. He has been such a pleasant baby. We love having him here.

3 Year Old Girl

McKinna turned 3 on April 13. We had a yellow party and invited a few friends. I can't believe she's 3 already. She is acting so big.
She still loves her little brother and kisses and "zurburts" him. She wants him to do more so he can play but she is being patient.

3 Months old

Jamison turned 3 months on Monday March 30. I can't believe how fast it went. McKinna is still so sweet with her brother. Now that he smiles and is a little more active, she enjoys having him around even more. Jamison is such a happy baby. He smiles so often and has started to giggle in the past few weeks. Jeremy and I are so happy to have such great kids.

Big Sister

McKinna loves to be involved in everything that has to do with Jamison. Since he takes a bottle so well we let her feed and burp him. I love that she loves her brother.

Silly Girl

McKinna says this is a "McKinna sandwich".

New Beds

McKinna was sleeping in the toddler version of the crib we bought her. Since Jamison will be out of our room soon and will need the crib, we got her a new "Princess bed". We were a little worried about the change, but as you can see she is very happy.







I think McKinna enjoyed this more than Jamison. He does seem to like having a little more room. He gets stuck sometimes in his bassinet. Just a few more weeks and this will be his permanent sleeping space. It makes me sad that he's growing so fast but excited that Jeremy will have our room back... sort of.

First Pictures

I love these pictures because he looks so precious (which he is of course). He looks so much like McKinna.
I was shocked he stayed awake for the whole session.

Jamison's Blessing

He looked so sweet and I couldn't believe we got this great of a picture. On her blessing day, McKinna was asleep for most of her photos.


McKinna had to be included in the photo shoot of Jamison. She wanted her picture taken on the blanket with him. She was trying to look like Jamison, hence the "far off look".

Proud Parents

This is our first family portrait. I realized we didn't have one, even from the hospital. It's weird how much you forget when it's your second child.

It was so fun having both of our families come up for the blessing. McKinna has been in heaven with all the people coming to "play with her." I've (and Jeremy too) have been so happy with her adjustment to adding a new brother. We have been blessed.

Life at Home with Two Kids

Well, a month has passed and we are settling into life with two kids. We were worried that McKinna would resent Jamison for taking up our time, but she loves him and can't walk past without kissing him on the forehead. She did see that he received lots of presents and new clothes. So, she decided to try on some of his clothes.

McKinna in Jamison's Clothes

Our favorite outfit she put together is this one.

Frodo McKinna

She does act like a baby to get attention and pretends to cry like Jamison to get what she wants.

Baby Mckinna

McKinna does do some sweet things for Jamison. I (Jeremy) had the kids alone and went upstairs to grab something. When I got downstairs I found that McKinna had given Jamison his stuffed animals for company while I was away.

Jamison with His Stuffed Animals

All in all life with our two kids is great. Here are some random pictures of life in the Love home.
