“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Pics for Grandma's

Watching Sunday football w/ Dad


First hockey game here in Soldotna. Sorry his hands are in his face...that's where they usually are.
I bought him this snowsuit/bunting...but he's a little small for it still. I promise I got the 0-3 month size. I was going to put him in it for the hockey game, but it would have drowned him, so we just bundled him up instead.

My friend Laurie Wilkenson holding Lachlan. She is one of the "horse-people" I work and hang out with.

Dad gave him another mohawk, but you can't really see it. It was a cute pic of him though.

Margie Brown holding Lachlan. She thinks he's just the cutest thing, and has been waiting a long time to hold him.


This is after his bath...have you seen a more annoyed look from a baby?! He is NOT happy with me at this point. He wouldn't cry...just give me dirty looks. Too funny!!

His first real bath...not a sponge bath. He wasn't a huge fan, as you can tell from the pic above.

Showing off the t-shirt Grandma Price sent him for Halloween. The shirt is a preemie size and fits pretty well, but the pants are a little long for him.

Another pic of his Halloween shirt from Grandma Price. I just loved the look he had on his face.

This is how he spends some of his awake time...in the bouncy chair just hanging out.

Close-up of the cutest baby face in the whole world!
Trying to talk, but mostly just grunting. He's starting to get more vocal every day.



Here are some pics from the last 10 days. I need to apologize to the grandma's for not getting more photos up sooner. Sorry!!

He's been smiling more and "talking" more, which is so fun. He's sleeping 6 hours at night, which is wonderful! We are night people anyway, so we put him to bed between 12:30-1:30 am, and he sleeps until about 7-7:30 the next morning. He's eating really well, and is scheduled to have his one month appt. on Tuesday. We'll see then how much he's grown. I can't believe that tomorrow he'll be 4 weeks old! It's fun to see him develop, but I hate how fast the time is flying by. I've loved having a tiny newborn in our house...it's been pretty amazing.

Anyway...we are blessing him next Sunday, and his Grandma Pond (Grammy Jo), is flying up this coming Saturday to be here for the blessing and to hang out with her grandson for about 10 days.

I'll try to keep more pics coming a little more regularly, but I make no promises!

He is SOOOOOOOOOOO cute. I am glad to hear that he is sleeping better and doing good. It looks as if he has got the eating thing down. He will be chunky in no time. Just remember how little Braylee was now she is a chunk and 6 months old. They grow up way to fast. Any who he is adorable and can't wait to hold him. Ashley

I can't believe how much they change in such a time. I love the picture of him in his Halloween shirt. He looks like he is smiling! What a cutie!
