3 Months!

Shawn is 3 months old today! He is growing so fast and weighs in at almost 14 pounds now. I can't believe how fast the time is flying. He's getting cuter and cuter every day.




That face! 
Not so sure about this new toy...
He rolled over right after I took this!

Life Lately

Our family has experienced a lot of changes lately! I've been meaning to blog for a while but it took me a week to figure out how to put the pictures from my phone onto the laptop. I have over 500 pictures of Shawn. Can you say obsessed mommy? Can't believe he'll be 3 months old on Monday!

In April, Ben graduated! (It's about time!)
B.S. in History Education



He still has to complete his student teaching this fall, but since we won't be returning to Rexburg he was able to participate in the graduation ceremony. 

My family came for the graduation. It was great to see everyone and celebrate Ben's accomplishments! Here is Shawn with his great great grandma Ruth (yes, two greats!)



Two days later, we moved! Ben got a summer job so we headed to my hometown of Richland, Washington. He's working here:


We are grateful for the employment but we don't see much of him. He works 12 hour days. Factor in the 30 minute commute each way and sleeping, he's only home with us for about 2 hours a day. He has to work the next 8 straight days before he has another day off. 

I'm lucky enough to get to spend my days (and many nights...) playing with this little munchkin!


He's growing so fast and reaching so many new milestones. 
On May 5, he was blessed at church. I was afraid he'd cry, but he slept through his whole blessing. We were lucky to have so many family members there to support him. I loved his bow tie!


He went to his Aunt Kelsey's softball game. He loved being outside!


He can grip his toys and has started to put them in his mouth. 


He loves to have his tongue out like a little puppy.


He loves to sit up. He often tries to sit up on his own but he's just not quite strong enough!


Shawn loves to play with his Uncle Keegan.



Bath time is his favorite time!



This kid seriously likes to watch tv. His favorites are Mickey Mouse and Sesame Street.



He had his first play date. My friend Lindsay Simmons came over with her daughter Hailey. She's about a month younger than Shawn. She makes Shawn look so huge!


He's a future music prodigy.


Loves his daddy.




We love our little guy!
