New glamour shots!

I took some new pictures today - its fun to see him changing.

I think these turned out pretty good.

Tuacahn Christmas!

We went to the Tuacahn theatre of arts for a nativity production. We went with Adam and Kiora and the fam! It was a great time and the nativity was really cool!This is a picture of Dustin and Ori while we were walking around looking at the lights - they were really pretty and Ori was mesmerized.
This is the nativity before it started, however the pic is a little fuzzy (I am not sure why) but you get the idea, it was really pretty.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We went down to Gammy's house to visit, while we were there we saw Adam's family and it was a ton of fun.

This is Zane holding Ori in his Thanksgiving outfit that Lori got us. I think its so cute, and Zane did great with him.
This one is so cute because Ori is smiling - We had so much fun during thanksgiving!
This is another picture I took this week before we left for Thanksgiving vacation. Ori was just out of his bath and he was smiling on the couch - I had to get it on camera.

Orion Is Three Months Old!

On Saturday Nov. 18 we went to Grandpa Scotts house for a early Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great time, we all had so much fun! After eating we all needed a nap! Of course, Ori was the only one who took one haha.

This is Grandpa holding Ori ... it was so cute, he kept making cute little sleepy noises during his nap. It was nice to be together.

This is my brother Eric holding Ori for the first time. Ori felt quite comfortable as you can see :)

Ori is now three months old! His three month mark was on the 16th. I cant believe how the time has gone by. Sadly, on his three month birthday he was sick with a horrible cold. Last tuesday Dustin came home from work sick! Poor Ori caught it and was feeling pretty yucky on thursday. I gave him a little bit of medicine and he was able to sleep, he is feeling much better now, I am happy for that.

Press play to view video...

This is Ori yesterday playing with his toys, he just started trying to touch them this week. However, he is kinda tired by the time I decided to get him on video. We then put him in his swing (his favorite thing) and he watched me clean the room.
He is so fun.

Daddy's place...

Last night I was hanging up some clothes and Ori was hangin out with me, I thought it was so cute how comfortable he looked in dads place in our bed, haha.

He is so sleepy at this time, but he refused to go to sleep. So, instead he watched me fold and hang clothes while fighting closing his eyes.

Time with Jill and Nan

Last week we went to dinner at Dustin's aunt Jill's house to visit family. Dustin's grandma Nan finally got to hold Orion. I just found a couple of pictures so I wanted to through them on here so everyone could see. He was a little fussy because he had just had his shots that Friday. :(

Fun with baby...

I was so excited to get some real pictures of Orion when we were rid of the oxygen. So here are a few of the pictures I was able to get. As you can see he gained a lot of weight after we took the oxygen off, he looks so much more healthy in these pictues, and he was starting to smile. He is 7 weeks here and weighed 10lbs. I took these in the morning when he is the most happy.

Family pictures...

During the confrence weekend just after Ori had his oxygen removed, we decided to take a fall drive through the Alpine Loop. It was a beautiful day and we were able to get some fun pictures, our first family pictures.

Sitting with the Dog...

After we took the oxygen off, Ori grew like crazy!! It was amazing how much he changed that next week! He began to hold his head up better, and start to follow things with his eyes. It was so cute how comfortable he became. The pictures here are on our couch. Ori likes to sit here, all propped up so he can look around. He is sitting with our dog Ender, in one of these pictures it looks like Ori is crying but he is really just yawning. Ender became very protective of Ori this week, he would become a nanny of sorts and get worried when Ori would cry or coo. It was very cute.

Finally!! No Oxygen!!

On Sept. 15, 2006, we were given the 'go ahead' to take Ori off of the oxygen and apnea monitor. We were SO excited. He hated having it taped to his face, and he kept ripping it off. When we got to take it off for good, we breathed a huge sigh of relief. He felt so much better.

We also celebrated our one year wedding anniversary during this time with our new baby.( haha) We stayed in the University Marriott for the weekend and had a great time!

Talking to Daddy...

This is Orion listening to Daddy talk, I thought it was so cute how fixated on Dustin he is, so I snapped a few pictures!!

His Cradle

These are some pictures of Ori in the cradle Grandpa made for him. It was made from the same plans that my grandfather used to make my cradle for my mother. It is such a beautiful gift. I cried when he showed it to us. Orion loves it, he sleeps in it every night next to our bed.

First Bath!

These are pictures of Ori's first bath, he was so little and cute. He had a lot of hair when he was born then he lost it. He was so little then, his diaper looks too big for him lol. He is a very serious baby boy.

Orion comes home!!

Orion got to come home Aug. 23, 2006. We were so happy to have him home finally after such a rough start. Gammy was home to give us a wonderful welcome, with a way cute sign! We came home with oxygen and an apnea monitor. So, those are the tubes in the pictures. It also kept us from going many places, as the oxygen tank was quite large and hard to wheel around. It was kinda nice though, because I got to sit on the couch and just hold him and enjoy being a mother!
(Though as you can see in the picture, mom is very tired lol).
