Random happenings with my peeps

It has been quite the adjustment these last few weeks with two kids.  I am in awe of all you mothers who have multiple children, how do you do it?  I have mostly felt guilty about Cannon, and I feel like I'm always neglecting him now.  Luckily he is a pretty independent child, and is usually happy entertaining himself, but I still feel guilty.  Cannon has been so good with Lily.  He is so soft and gentle with her, and he really doesn't show signs of jeleousy.  Also, I'm very thankful that Lily is such a good baby!  She reminds me alot of what Cannon was like when he was a baby.  She hardly ever cries and is such a good sleeper.  I really hope this lasts, and it's not just her "newborn phase".  Anyways, life is good, and here is just a few pics of what we have been up to lately.

We went up to Silver Lake one night and walked around.  I think Lily enjoyed the fresh air, and Cannon always enjoys collecting rocks and sticks.

"You're smothering me Dad!"

My cute boy

Lily has become a lot more alert during the day

But as you can see it doesn't last very long..

And she's off to sleep again

Cannon makes me laugh everyday.  He has such a funny sense of humor

I LOVE THESE TWO!

Lillian Sage Bake

Lillian Sage Bake was born on Sunday August 15th. She was two weeks early, weighing only 5lb 14oz, and was 19 inches long. She is so precious and we are all so happy to have her here and part of our family.

The last picture of me pregnant. I was ready to get her out!


Right after she was born

She was so alert, just looking around the room at everything

Cannon was so sweet to her when he first met her

Cannon loves to hold his baby sister

Mesa meets Lily

She was laying on the bed and became unwrapped and this is how I found her sleeping, so cute!

Bug Obsession

Cannon has been obsessed with bugs lately. It's cute to see him so excited, but he doesn't understand that all insects are safe to touch, such as spiders and bees. He caught a bee the other day and got stung so hopefully he wont try that anymore. We went camping last weekend and he caught a grasshopper and was holding it in his hand forever, just admiring it (I think it was old or slightly injured because it wasn't very spry and active like most grasshoppers). We have those big June bugs in our yard this time of year and Cannon loves to pick them up and hold them. I just hope he doesn't pick up a black widow spider or something like that. I have tried talking to him about not touching spiders, but I also told him about bees too, and he still caught one and learned the hard way by getting stung. What am I going to do with this kid?
