The kids

Lindon turned 5 months on February 2. He weighs 13 lbs 8 oz. He only gained 2 oz this month. He is 25 inches. I can't believe how big he is getting. It seems like just yesterday he was my little 5 lbs preemie baby. Time flies way too fast!


Claire LOVES her little brother SO much. She is SO protective. If someone walks out of the room with Lindon she tells Kevin or me to go get him, or if we are leaving and someone is holding him she will tell them to put him in his carseat NOW! HaHa. We pick on her sometimes and tell her that our time is up, that we only rented Lindon for 5 months and we have to bring him back to the hospital. She yells at us "NO! He's my little brother! We have to keep him. I love him!" I know we are mean to pick on her like that. I was giving Claire a bath the other day while Kev was holding Lindon in the living room. After a few minutes Kev walked in the bathroom without Lindon and Claire asked Kev where Lindon was. Kev told her he put him in the trash. Poor Claire busted into tears and begged Kev to take him out that she needed him! I know, once again we are mean parents... We don't pick on her all the time. Just sometimes.


Lindon can sit up now when propped just right. He loves it. He wants to be independent so bad. He's started a new thing where he blows out of his mouth and makes his lips flap. He thinks it's so funny.


Claire loves to sing and dance. I bought her a Little Mermaid microphone at Wal-Mart the other day. She brings it everywhere and sings along with it.


We are so blessed to have our children. I thank my Heavenly Father daily for the time I have to spend with them on this earth. I am so thankful for their laughter and smiles. They brighten my day!

Awwwwww! Those pictures of Lindon are so stinkin cute! I know I've said this before, but he's such a handsome little man! Claire is so cute too. I liked how she was singing for us at the playdate the other day. I think she's ready for American Idol. ;)
