Mr. + Mrs. Claus


And since I might not blog again until February...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Life since Davis

Of coarse, life since Davis revolves around....DAVIS!


He...
loves being held and being the center of attention, good for my arms...bad for my back

has reflux and an intolerance to milk protein, explaining number one

is closing in on 13 lbs

is consistently sleeping 7 - 10 hour stretches at night, but not much during the day

smiles a lot, especially at women...he's a ladies man just like cole

has lost most of his newborn hair, but is already getting good regrowth. Ryan is jealous.



doesn't exactly love bath time, but gets it anyway because it makes him sleepy + smell good. And since I still bathe him in the kitchen, it gives me a chance to do dishes eat.


The kids haven't been totally forgotten. They are busy with school, soccer, fall enrichment, wii, angry birds, and friends. Um, definitely not in that order.

photo shoot rehearsal

To get ready for Sarah coming to Denver next week, I had a quick photo shoot with Davis today. Due to an unfortunate accident, our regular lens is broken and I only have a panoramic to work with. (and I'm still not sure that one, or the camera itself, are at 100%). So it's almost impossible for me to get a good in-focus picture these days. I really just wanted to play around with positioning and lighting, but ended up getting a coulple of cute ones. I can't wait for the real deal.

Big Week

Besides GETTING A NEW BROTHER, mclayne and cole also started school, were spoiled by gma and gpa for 10 days, and got to see Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. So between a hospital visit, orientation, school, trips to the park to catch minnows + crawdads, and a 1+1/2 hour drive to Colorado Springs(totally worth it) we were very busy. It was a fun week and we were sad to see Sweetie Grandma and Grandpa leave this morning.

Davis Mitchell Bergstrom
July 28th 6:29 pm
8 lbs 4 oz . 21 inches





At his 4 day check-up he weighed 7 lbs 14 oz. But I can tell he's putting on more weight now. We'll see on Thursday. He has put himself on a pretty consistent 4 hour schedule. I don't like having to wake him during the day to feed him, but I'll take it at night. He looks like a mix of mclayne and cole, and also looks a lot like me as a baby. Lucky guy!;)

Easter in St George

Finally. The post everyone has been waiting for. Our mini Easter vacation in St George on our way home from Disneyland. Now you can stop asking for pictures...here they are.

*I actually downloaded my dad's pictures from this week and found these too. Looks like my nesting/need for everything to be caught-up hasn't gone away yet!

37 weeks and 2 days

Can you tell I'm READY to get this started! Just 12 days (or less) to go. Since everything else has been different with this pregnancy, I figured why not do something else I've never done...
post pics of my big belly. I guess since this might be the last, I better capture it. So I snapped a few on my way to early morning yoga this morning.







With flash - didn't work but highlights the dirty mirror nicely.















No flash - better but a little blurry and my belly looks way smaller than it feels.













The best angle - especially since my face is covered!

The Fourth

We started the fourth this year with snaps and sparklers on Saturday night.
The combination of the the earplugmuffs and throwing action made for some entertaining shots of Cole.

We did the typical legal boring fireworks on Sunday night and had a ward breakfast Monday morning. I decided to paint our toenails before heading to the park, since we were a little lacking in the red department...




























What...suprised?! Well, those who really know Cole, know he appreciates the pretty things in life. He insisted on a pedicure of his own. I did draw the line when he asked for painted finger nails, too. Maybe I should invest in some gray or army green nail polish...I think it's a good thing this next one's a boy!

At around midnight last night...

Mclayne lost her first tooth! Even though she was BEYOND excited, she waited until I woke up at 6:30 to share the news...she's {usually} so nice to her pregnant momma. She was even more excited when she found out she could tell just about every friend she has {and adult she knows} at Jane's party today.

6:30 this morning...














all ready for the party...




at the party...
<-Notice anything in the second pic?
















yep, photo bomber strikes again.


Of course, Laynie made a video in honor of the exciting event...
