Wes and Sadie at 7 weeks old
Smiles by Wesley
It is so fun to have them smiling so much now!
Sadie also smiles a lot, but not on the day the pictures were taken
Nope, I couldn't get one smile out of this girl
I know I favor my own children- but I think he is simply adorable!
I have a size 10 foot, though now it seems to be more of a 10 1/2 or 11- and that is Wesley's foot at 7 weeks- just for scale- so I can remember how little they were at this age.
Sadie's little foot next to mine- so strange to think that one day she might ask to borrow my shoes!
Justin and Amanda came the first weekend in September and this is Justin being silly. That morning he was teasing Amanda while she was holding Sadie and Amanda said, "your Uncle Justin is crazy" and Sadie gave her the biggest smile!
Just to show how well they are developing their motor skills- they both have a great grasping reflex and shirt collars are the preferred item to grasp lately- gratefully my hair is not such a preferred item for now.
Amanda realized that his onesie has an AC DC tie- a gift from a friend.
Amanda is a terrific aunt- both babies were so happy to be help by her and sadly right after this picture was taken there was a diaper incident and they have now marked her as their own- I really hope those marks washed out though!
These pictures were taken by Amanda one morning while I had a doctor's appointment- I think they are wonderful.
They are laying on the quilt she made for Sadie- I wish I knew her secret for having them look in the same direction at the same time- she really has a natural ability with photography.
Getting ready for the blessing pictures. We had planned on blessing the babies later on in September and then in a matter of a few days all of our plans changed in regard to when I would return to work, Buck being in school, then Amanda and Justin decided to come into town for Labor Day and so with less than a weeks notice we planned the event. I shouldn't say planned- I called my sister-in-law Charla who planned everything and hosted the luncheon at her home and Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Don came from Flagstaff and Randall came with 4 of his kids- Amber was at home with sick kids, Marcia and Caleb came and Ron and Kim Morgan and family were there too. It was a wonderful day.

Our Family
Sadie's pirate eye! Ahoy Matey! She was cooing and making so many sounds while I was trying to take these pictures. I can see why people love to have a video camera and yet I am not sure anyone else would find as much joy in watching the videos as Buck and myself.
