Dryden's 4 month stats...

Dryden is almost 5 months now, just one week shy.

His 4 month apt went great.  The day after his shots is always hard!  He cries all day long, poor boy!  Dryden weighed 16lbs and 14.5 oz!  He is a pound and a half more than Kalder was at the same age. Dryden is one chunky little baby....so dang cute!  His height was 25.98", which is also longer than Kalder by a half an inch.  Dryden is now in 9 month clothes crazy!  Time is going by too fast!  Besides Dryden out growing his reflux I'm not "waiting for the next stage" as I was with Kalder.

Brother love

The two boys are starting to interact more and more.  Kalder is paying more attention to Dryden now that he is playing.  Dryden watches Kalder everywhere he goes.  I love to watch them interact with one another!

This is my monster child :) love age 2

Dryden is now 3 months!

One adorable little dude

Summer fun for a week!

Ryan came home for a whole week!  I love the weeks we get to spend together when he is home.  This time we were able to go for a 10 mile hike with the two kids.  The boys did better than Ryan :)  We were also able to go for a bike ride in grand teton national park.  Kalder got to play in string lake...he saw ducks and got so excited!  Then he saw a little chipmunk and he tried to call for it to come like it was a dog.  He can be so cute, then a terror the next second! A different day we headed back to the grand teton national park and went for a hike.  We did a 5 mile loop, and once again Kalder was able to play in the water.  He loves the water.  We took him to the Rexburg water park as well, but he wasn't a fan of that.  I think there were just too many people, it was too overwhelming for him.  Either was we had a ton of fun in just one week!

Dryden 11 weeks

The second child...

My mom would always told me that you never take as many pictures with the second one as you do the first.  I didn't believe it until I had my second...I have so many pictures of Kalder I cant count them...as for Dryden there is definitely not as many so I made it a point to take some photos of him this last week.

Dryden is now 11 weeks.  Time goes by so fast.  Here are just a few pictures....

Kalder loves to sit by Dryden and hold him whenever he can!

My precious little guy.

All smiles!

Our first family hike

This picture was taken when Dryden was 3 weeks old.  My brother and Yesenia were up visiting.  We took a little hike and I mean little!  I was still recovering!  Dryden slept the whole time and Kalder rode in his stroller (we were on a bike path).  Cant wait to do some more hiking with these two boys when the weather cools down a bit.

Kalder and his Dog!

Kalder is a character!  He keeps me moving all day long!  His vocabulary has really taken off.  He puts two and three words together now.  Strawberries is his favorite word to say.  He is enjoying the challenging words these days!

Kalder lovey is a dog...which fits since he spends most of his time outside with his dog, Sierra.  Since I'm tending to Dryden a ton, Kalder has learned to play with Sierra while I feed and change Dryden.

Kalder is now 21 months.  He is listening better than he was at 18 months which is wonderful!  He is now jumping and dancing!  Love him!

Camping in a forest service cabin!

YAY!!!

Ryan came home for a whole week!  It had been over a month since we had seen him!  We were all so excited to see him.  We decided to rent a forest service cabin in the Salmon NF.  It was 2.5 hrs into the mtns on a dirt road...but SO worth it!

We saw an old mine.  Went on some gnarly dirt roads, played in the lake, played in the streams, went for a hike, and most importantly enjoyed each others company with out cell phones or other electronic interruptions!  

The bugs were bad...lots of mosquito's, so Dryden stayed inside most the time since we cant put bug repellent on him till he is 6 month old...so Ryan and I took turns with Kalder :)

Kalder loves the water...loves to be by it, but not in it!  He doesn't like how cold the mtn lakes and streams are...and I don't blame him!

Daddy and Kalder on the 4th of July!

Tired little man!

Our home for a week! No running water...but we had a propane stove!

Mama and her two boys!!  Love them so so much!

Isnt he just adorable!
