Idaho, Pre-wedding Family time

Here are some shots from the week. Not too many, sorry I was busy with the stomach flu and then a bad head cold, oh and of course the 8 week old newborn....but here are some shots I did manage to capture of our time together. Besides the illness it was a great time with our Hart family.

Rye and Uncle Chaz

Rye and his girlfriend, Madelyn, Lynlea's neice.

Daddy and Aliya

Kaley and her boyfriend (we wish, because we love Rex's friend Dave ;)

 the Hart and Jayo clan. We've decided to adopt all of them and not just Lynlea, because we loved them so much...

the newly updated Hart clan! Welcome Lynlea!!

 Grandaddy and Aliya getting some snuggle time.

Mom had so much fun, she decided to stay...

Aliya: 2 1/2 months

Aliya turned 2 months while we were out in Idaho for Rex and Lynlea's wedding. More on that later. Here are some adorable pics of our little sweethart. She is such an easy-going baby. She is content to smile at whoever or whatever is around, play/gaze adoringly at her dangling playpen toys, snuggle with Dad and make silly faces, stare and laugh at Rye, or her favorite activity these days..chilling in her swing. She eats great, is sleeping between 5-7 hours at night and overall just showing us how amazing a baby can be. Her eyes are changing, they are somewhere in the gray/hazel area but we'll see where they end up.

 Here are some recent pics to love...

Oh, Aliya, we think you are just the greatest.

Fun with Gramma!

Aliya: 8 Weeks

Aliya girl, oh our sweet Aliya. 

Our little sweetie got her 2 month check up yesterday. She is weighing in at 11lbs and is 23".  She's a great sleeper (between 4.5 and 6.5 hours) at night. She's a super easy baby (thank you Lord!) She loves to be on her tummy, and is slowly enjoying some play time on her back in her play pen. She's giving us some great smiles (as evident below). She loves to look at her brother and her mommy and daddy. She really is super chill. It's great. We love it, and her. Especially her. ;) Here are some more recent pics...

6 Weeks!

6 weeks old today. My oh my. This little girl is growing and getting cooler and cooler every day. She's sleeping well, going on average 4.5 hours at night. She likes to snooze for big chunks and be awake for a chunk or 2 during the day...not quite a "baby wise" baby, but we keep trying. Ok I'm trying, she's resisting. ;)

At her 1 month checkup she was up to 9lbs and 8 oz, a whopping 2lbs 6oz above her last visit. This puts her in the 75%. She was 22 3/4" which is 95% for height. She's started smiling too...don't have a good picture of that yet. But here are a couple shots of her life these days.

Her first bottle with daddy...took to it like a pro, no big deal, totally unfazed.

Pic of the Day

Color coordinated family

After our first church outing as a family the other day, I realized that COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONALLY, we all matched. Honestly, it was unintentional, there's no way Trevor would have let us out of the house if it had been purposeful, or if he had noticed. ;)

Anyway, seemed like a good excuse for a mini photoshoot. I can't believe that Aliya is looking (somewhat) at the camera. Crazy Ok, well here's the result.
