Big kids play dress-up

Timothy tries to evade the camera. Let him know his Mommy is a "mamarazzi!"

Ashton found his old Halloween costume and has worn it everyday!

Violet gets some dress-up action too, thanks to one of Matt's aunts!

Of course we have to watch Toy Story 1, 2 and/or 3 everyday now too!

Popsicle fun in the sun!

Ashton meets messy popsicle!
 It's been a hot week here in Fresno. After dinner, the kids enjoyed some fun time in the water and some yummy popsicles!
Violet is introduced to messy popsicles... and says "chee" for the camera!


The kids "cheese" for the camera!

My pretty girl before the mess attacks!

Timothy's 1st week

Sleeping soundly

More sleeping... after a long night of being awake!

He finally wakes up!

Attempting to focus my eyes

He was awake for about 30 minutes. His longest stretch yet! Thankfully the big kids were out with Nana and Papa so Mommy and Timothy got some good bonding time!

Introducing Timothy Dominic!

Ashton loves his new baby brother!

Timothy Dominic was born July 21st at 4:51pm. He weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and was 20 inches long. He came just 2 weeks earlier than predicted. Mommy was okay with it. Unfortunately, Dad was unable to Skype in to witness the birth.

Both kids were down for naps so I was able to get in a quick photo session.




Who doesn't love baby yawns!?



As close as it gets to Violet loving her baby brother!

Ashton loves to hold his baby brother! Counting his toes!


Wrinkly feet and toes!

1. Mimi or Momma
2. Daddy
3. Nana
4. Papa
5. Hi-lo (hello)
6. Bye
7. Ni-night
8. Tantu (thank you)
9. Ball -- one of her favorite things right now!
I'm sure I'll think of more!

Signs: more, finished, all done!
