I am working on a post about Mikayla and her newest accomplishment, but here are a few of some recent ones:
Mikayla One week old
Mikayla 4.5 months old
A year ago my sister and I were both pregnant. She was very pregnant with her second child and I was just beginning my first pregnancy. Today my little (well not so little any more) nephew turns one. He is such a big boy and so full of life. I hope when Mikayla turns one she is just as full of life as Tanner! My sister is throwing a “Ball Themed” Birthday Party tomorrow because he loves balls so much. There will be a ball pit, round pumpkins for kids to paint and food in the shape of balls or circles (i.e. meatballs, circle sandwiches, grapes, melon balls, etc).
Happy Birthday little guy! I will see you at your “Ball Themed” Birthday Party tomorrow!
Tanner and family in his first day of life! Tanner and Tyson have changed so much in the last year!

In case you didn’t get the memo: Mikayla started rolling over! Here are some pictures to document the milestone.
Chilling on her back
Starting the roll
Rolling...
...rolling...
...still rolling...
...almost got it...
Made it!
She has rolled over both ways (front to back and back to front). She will be four months old on Friday. We head to the doctor on Thursday for shots, weight check, etc. I will keep you posted on her progress!
Another newbie is that she has figured out how to grab fer pacifier with her hands and pull it out. It is really fun to watch her try and figure out how to get it back in her mouth. She concentrates really hard, she even has her daddy’s “concentration face”! Every once in awhile she finds her mouth other times her eye or ear or you get the picture! Quite hysterical!
Here are some recent pictures of our sweet daughter! In case you haven’t heard she is rolling over now, both ways. The other day while I was at school Ben said she was rolling all over the place! She is now 3 and 1/2 months old…hard to believe!
Ben thinks it is fun to stick random things in her hands! She looks like her Pops here!
Playing in her exersaucer...she gains more and more control each day!
Carson and Callie chilling with Mikayla!
Mikayla likes to cook too...or rather be cooked! Another one of her daddy's funny picture ideas.
Sweet little baby girl!
Chilling in her cloth diaper...we love using cloth!
I made a quick trip to Somerset this week to see a dear friend from high school. While I was home I got to spend some time with my family. I decided it would be a good idea to try and get the three grandkids (Mikayla and my sisters boys, Tyson and Tanner) to take a picture. Here is what we ended up with…maybe we need the help of a professional!
Tyson had a hard time staying still and poor Mikayla still can't sit up on her own!
This was a good one of the boys, but Mikayla fell over!
Again, poor Mikayla...maybe we should try again when she is older!
Not too bad, except for Mikayla showing off her belly rolls!
This could be the best one yet!
Tanner got distracted by his dad's cell phone
Notice Tanner being held up by a mystery hand!
So we didn’t end up with any good pictures, but at least we had fun! What is the trick to getting three kids ages 2 and under to sit still long enough for a portrait??
