As many of you know, Jeffrey and I met on St. Patrick's Day. Today Jeffrey and I have officially known each other for two years, and what a wonderful two years they have been! No one else could make me happier than Jeffrey does. For his two year gift I made him this movie, and maybe by watching it you can see why Jeffrey makes my life so wonderful!
So this is my first week at home alone with Knightley. I love it! Being a mom is great, though I admit it is harder then I thought it would be, mainly because Knightley hates going to sleep though he is really tired. The other sad part is that Jeffrey gets home really late from work between 6:30 and 7:30. But at least he doesn't have to be at work till 9:00. But we are both super happy. Jeff still likes his new job and I love my new job :).
So, Jeffrey got a new job working up in Draper for Investools. They offer individual investor education, and that is what Jeffrey will be selling to people who call in asking more about it. He started it this week and is really enjoying it, plus the commute isn't too bad at all.
Since Knightley has been about 5 weeks old he started what I believe is called 'social smiling.' Meaning that when someone smiles at him, he smiles back. Well, he is one smiley baby. He is right around two and a half months and he smiles constantly. He gets smiling so much that he acts like he is about ready to explode with happiness (since he can't quite laugh yet). It is the cutest thing in the world, so we had to take a photo shoot.
We just got home and he was Mr. Smiley (he has his mom's cute dimples)
He loves it when you play with his hands and feet.
The cutest little boy in the world(we surveyed 2 people and that's what they said)
My mom came in town a couple weeks ago and the motel she was staying at had an indoor swimming pool so we decided to take Knightley for his first swimming lessons. He rather enjoyed himself. He has always liked water and he did the same thing he does when he takes a bath; He just sits there relaxing.
Just chillin.'
His beautiful mom.
And Super dadWe love our new apartment! Below you can see our new couches a excellent craigslist purchase, well at least we think so. And our nice big living room. It is great for playing the wii :)
And this is Knightley's room. One of his walls is cinder block so we decided to cover it up with Fabric. We stole the idea from our friends the Guinns. You just need lots of liquid starch and will some pressing work the fabric just sticks. And when we leave someday we will just pull it all off (Cool huh!) We think it turned out good. Hopefully Knightley will like it!
This year for Christmas we went to Texas. It was really cool because it was the first time everyone (all the siblings and their spouses, and their babies) have been together. It was tons of fun! To sum up the vacation in one sentence; We played games and ate and played games and ate and played games and slept, then repeat (for 2 weeks). Since a picture says a thousand words, I'll let them do the rest of the talking.
On our way down to Texas we routed our plane through Arizona so Grandma could see her great grandson.
Once arriving in Texas, Nana couldn't let her newest little grand baby out of her sight. They bonded on the couch like this many times.
Needless to say, Emperor Knightley was one spoiled kid for his first Christmas.
Ashton is either genuinely concerned for his younger cousin, or he just wants his bottle.
The tree was a massive 11ft foot tall behemoth!
Knightley's 1st Christmas, so cute.
Christmas Eve dinner. Mmm boy!
For Christmas Eve we all play Christmas songs on our instruments. This is the first time ALL of us are playing together. David-Clarinet, Jeffrey-Alto Sax, Trevin-Trumpet, Ashley-French Horn, Cody-Trombone, Chanelle-Flute.
Christmas Day! Stocking goodies are on the table.
