3 MONTHS!!

Time passes too quickly it seems! Can you believe he is 3 months already?!

Stats: 

13 lbs!

He can do so many things and enjoys so many things!

 He learned to suck his thumb!

 Loves to be read to. (Don't judge the ragamuffin mom!)

 Is proficient at the piano already! He actually loves this play mat he got for Christmas.

 Loves his spinning toy.

 Hasn't quite figured out how to jump in his johnny jumper but he is getting there.

 He holds his head up super good.

 Loves to fly. He even has the right form!

He can sit up really good in his chair and has started to intentionally whack at the toy in front of him. Thus meaning his hand eye coordination is getting better. He smiles lots and coos lots and we enjoy him sooo much!

December Sum Up!

To say December was crazy would be an understatement! We were pretty much booked every weekend with something not to mention Christmas. But they were all wonderful things and it was so nice to be here close to be part of it all! 

Here we are at the temple for my sister Emma's Wedding! Hooray!

All us girls-sisters are wonderful don't you think?! 

All my Siblings! Minus one- my brother Michael. We missed him. 

 In the middle of December we celebrated the wedding of my younger sister Emma! We are so happy for her! Here is me and Emma and my sister Liz at the reception.

 Chase and baby Alvin. Alvin had a hard day poor kid.

 The next day we blessed Alvin. It was a special event for us and we continually are so amazed at this wonderful blessing of ours. Here are our families! His and mine below.

 Then a little later in the month we had our annual Christmas party with my extended family. Every year my grandpa reads the Christmas story.

 He was our favorite and bestest gift!

 After Christmas at our house we went to Poky to be with family. Christmas lunch at my parents and Christmas dinner at Chase's parents. He got to meet my Uncle Keven and Aunt Lorie for the first time! (Thats my mom on the left not my aunt just in case! )

 New Years Eve we spent at Chase's brother's in Twin Falls! Fun times! Here is Chase's brother Drake with his girlfriend Melanie!

 Playing a game that turned into a card throwing fest.

New Year's Eve...Alvin wanted to stay up for the fun too. 

 On New Years day we were so lucky to attend the baptism of our niece Sydney. Such a special little girl!

What a full time of year and a great start to a new one!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken about a month after Alvin was born. Of course by our talented Tasha! 

Newborn Pictures

Alvin had his first photo shoot just a few weeks after he was born! Our talented sister in law Tasha took them and we were soo happy! She did an amazing job as always! Alvin wasn't so happy at the time but we got some good ones...Just wanted to share a few! 

 Chase wanted one of his back wrinkles! So cute!

 I love this one!
