Baby City

The past year it seemed like everyone had a baby. Every June some of our ward moves away so the Taggarts had the great idea to take a picture of all of the babies born within the year. Here there are thirteen of us, but really there were four babies missing. And I'll add that everyone in the picture except the last person on the right were born within an eight month time span. There were a lot of pregnant ladies running around our ward.


And I just love this picture. After we held the babies for a picture we put them on the ground by themselves for a shot or two. If you click on the picture you will see that almost all of the babies started crying. Not Penn, he was his usual happy self.

Helmet Head

Penn got his helmet on Friday afternoon and we are slowly wearing it more everyday. He'll most likely have to have it on for two months. The first day he didn't mind it at all but the last couple of days you can tell he's getting more irritated with it. Hopefully when we aren't putting it on and taking it off so much he will just get used to it.
I feel sorry for the little guy. These helmets are hot and the physical therapist says that no matter what he will sweat a lot and just to expect sweat dripping from his head.
I do have to say he is the cutest little thing I've ever seen in a helmet.

The Zoo

On Monday the weather was great so we headed to the zoo with some friends.


I love how this picture captures Penn's total admiration for Darwin. He loves him. Also, you can see Penn's flat head. The doctor this week said he needs a helmet, so in two weeks my boy will be sportin a big chunk of plastic. The doctor pointed out that it may actually protect him from his brother for awhile. So there's a bonus.
Brent has been calling him 'Flathead' the last few days. Poor kid.

This picture shows Darwin's new haircut courtesy of his dad. We're hoping it grows out soon:)

Fun Song

Six months of fun

My little boy turns six months in a few days and I can hardly believe it. I'm pretty sure I'm the luckiest mom around. This guy makes me smile everyday.

What a difference a haircut can make

These pictures were taken within a week of each other. He looks so grown up now.

I recently found this picture that Darwin took on Brent's iphone. I love everything about it from the ABC blanket his great-grandmother made him to the pen markings on his shoes. It perfectly describes what was going on in this period of our lives.
