Family Pictures Take 2, December 19, 2010

We were working on a project for Mart's dad for Christmas and needed updated sibling pictures. We decided since he was in town that we should just go all out and have updated family pictures with everybody. We had originally planned to have them taken outside but when we got out of church it was raining so we scratched that idea and did them in my living room instead. My tiny little house was not made to host a photo shoot with that many people, but they turned out pretty decent considering!

Family Pictures Take 1, Dec. 4, 2010

We needed to update our family pictures now that my sweet baby finally joined us, so Traves came over and took some updated Christmas family pictures.

They turned out really good! Thanks Traves!

My Christmas tree. It should totally be a model tree in a magazine. :)

Ethan the stink bug!

The other night we must have worn Ethan right out. He went really quiet so we went to check on him and this is what we found:



I've never seen him sleep sitting upright before!!

This is what happens when he goes totally crazy and Dad is the one awake with him in the mornings. :)


And ... this is what happens when we let him choose what he wants to wear. He ends up in jeans, a long sleep red shirt with skulls, a super large bright blue astro boy shirt and ... one sock. That's my boy. :)


We also found him fast asleep like this ...

Ethan and Lincoln

Ethan totally loves his little brother. He always comes to help me when I change his bum, he gets me diapers and wipes and throws it away. He also tries to give Lincoln a binki when he's sad and loves to hug and kiss him. What a sweetheart!

Lincoln also loves his older brother. He always stares at Ethan so intently when he's around.

I sure love my boys!!

Lincoln picture overload!

My sweet little boy is growing like a weed! This is just a post with an overload of updated pictures. He's getting so big!

1 1/2 months (I missed the 1 month mark..whoops! Surgery does that to you...)


Smiley baby!




I thought he was little...until baby Tyler came along! Lincoln hanging out with his brand new cousin.


Snoozing with his Grandpa


2 months old already?!?

We can't get into the doctor until he's nearly 3 months so I won't have all the stats, but when we weighed him ourselves, he weighed in at 11 lbs 9 oz.

Shower

Lincoln isn't a huge fan of baths. I think it's because he gets cold because he's not completely surrounded by water. My sweet baby boy LOVES to take showers with his dad. I think it's because there is a constant flow of warm water and it's all steamy so he's warm the entire time.






Happy boy!

Baby Tyler

After much suffering, Kace finally had her sweet baby boy. He came out looking like the incredible hulk! :) Kace was such a trooper, a nearly 9lb baby with just iv meds. Way to go!!

Tyler Austin Collins

8lb 14oz, 21 inches
Super sweet!

Ryan calls me a baby hog. He's not joking. :)



Proud tired mama


Proud dad


Tyler totally inherited his moms HUGE mouth!


I can't get over how big he is! .... Okay, he doesn't look big compared to my now super huge 2 month old, but he's big for a newborn!


Sweet boy. Welcome to the world!!

P.S. I'm going to be your favorite. :)
