A 2 month old and a 40 year old

On Sunday, it was Cobey's 40th birthday and Rohn turned 2 months old. We had a great time Saturday celebrating with family and friends at the 10th Annual Purcell Mountain Jamboree. All of his 5 brothers and their families (which includes 7 of the next generation) were in attendance. Even my parents were there. It took all night but they finally got my mom to perform up on stage (of course that was after Keeg and I had gone to sleep). Everyone had a good time, including the man now climbing down the other side of the hill ;)

The Williamson men playing some tunes!

All the younguns.  Arianna had already left for Silverwood.

Once again, Blue leads a rough life.

"Professional style" Photos

I decided to try and take some professional style photos this past weekend.  So in 5 minutes, since both the boys were in a good humor and cooperative, I threw together the "set" and got them in the nicest clothes I could find (i.e. clean and somewhat coordinated).  Here's a sample.

(tried to get a picture of big brother giving baby brother a kiss but most time big bro blocked baby's face.  This is an after shot)

Classic sleeping baby photos.

He decided to go play basketball right after...but he had to have his basketball jersey on!

In full admiration of the great basketball hoop!

Just rollin' with the kitty

Either we've got a big cat or a little baby....though Rohn has grown quite a bit lately.

Just making faces for the camera!

Keegan went to naptime without his boogie legs on and I found him with them on a little while later!

A one month old and a 28 year old

Rohn is now 1 month old!  I can't believe it's already been a month.  He has grown a lot.  He is starting to stay awake longer and enjoy his time awake better (i.e. he doesn't scream the entire time). 

Keegan absolutely loves being a big brother. Everytime Rohn cries, Keegan comes over and gives him a kiss and, more often than not, Rohn stops crying and looks at Keegan.  When Rohn and I go pick Keegan up from daycare, the first thing (as usual) he says is "MOMMY'S HERE!"  followed very quickly by "Go see baby brother!" and he runs over to him.

I have a week and a half left on my maternity leave and I'm getting quite nervous to returning to normal life.  Everything's been quite managable while I've been home taking care of Rohn, resting and doing chores when I can and Cobey not having to work overtime.  But soon it will get truly crazy around here.  We'll both be back to work, sleep deprived and fire season is arriving fast.  OI!

In other news, it was my birthday on Wednesday and it was easily one of the best birthday's ever.  First, Cobey and Keegan stayed home for the day.  Cobey let me sleep in and made me breakfast.  When I got up, very refreshed and rested, Keegan (with no coaching by Cobey, except for telling him it was mommy's birthday) came over and stacked 7 column blocks next to me.  Sang "Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you" and blew out the "candles" (the columns).  Cobey said get ready to go for my surprise.  I put on a new dress that I got from Cobey while I was pregnant (but couldn't wear it then).  I didn't know what the surprise was until I walked into the building (and even then it took me a few seconds to figure it out)....he got me an hour massage!!!  I do have to say I think I did a pretty good job of just going along with it.  Just ask Cobey, I'm horrible with surprises; I'm always trying to figure it out and that usual ends up ruining it.  It was my first one and it was great and VERY much needed.  He took the two boys down the park and I got to relax and enjoy!  Then, that evening, he sent me out the door to hang out with some of my girl friends, Lisa and Alex, for dinner and dessert!  Then we returned to Lisa's house, where Cobey and Lisa's husband, Jake, were hanging out with the five boys (our two and their three)!!!  We finished the great day with a couple episodes of Battlestar Galactica!!!  Thanks Cobey and friends for a great birthday!

He likes sleeping with an arm or two by his head.

My birthday candles!

Awake and actually not crying or eating!!

Pencil thin cream cheese mustache!

3 weeks

Yesterday was Rohn's estimated due date, June 11th.  And today Rohn turns 3 weeks old.  He's finally (unfortunately) starting to act like a newborn and instead of sleeping 4-5 hours in the night he's only sleeping 2-3 before he decides he wants to eat.  He is also spending more of his time awake and aware, which still only amounts to probably 4-5 hours of the 'day', he likes to sleep.

Here are some pictures of him and Keegan over the weeks.

Love this onsie from Grandma McCoy!

Sleeping so peacefully!

Not being so peaceful.  Sporting his new wool diaper cover from Aunt Sharie!

Giving me a skeptical look.  We get them a lot from him.

"Cheese!"  Keegan loves to pose for the camera!

More sleeping

And while he sleeps I practice a little guitar.

Look at all of us matching (Keegan, Rohn, Mom,...the 'new' 4 wheeler for training our dogteam)

Welcome Rohn!!!

On Tuesday we had our second son.  Rohn (pronounced Roan) was 3 weeks early, but that's considered full-term, and is healthy as an ox!  Likes include eating and sleeping.  Dislikes: being set down and diaper changes.

Keegan was a little shy/unsure about baby brother at first.  Now he mostly just ignores him and carries on his day like it never happened.  Though he is very concerned when baby brother does not have the stuffed doggie with him that Keegan gave him as a gift.

My Little Bruiser

I was recently going through some pictures of Keegan and came across this "old" favorite with Aunt Alece. I love this one because he's got this look like, "Don't you mess with Aunt Lecey and I" But I hadn't noticed, until this time, that he's making the fist-into-other-hand-(I'll mess you up)gesture. Oh so funny!
