Traits of Por

some firsts

We've started Raya on solids, she's pretty good about it actually:

 

and random.. I made this hat for Levi:

I made an ear flap hat for Seth, but haven't taken a picture... lets see, and swimming lessons! Levi's first time, and Seth's first time without parental assistance -- they're both getting so big:

they're brothers, can't you tell?

 

And.. last but not least, Raya's first swimsuit :) She's unbearably cute in it.  This picture does not do her justice!

4 Months!

Height: 25" -- 75%

F.O.C: 42 cm -- 75%

Weight: 17 lbs 13 oz -- 100%

Raya's thriving.

She had her baby's blessing this month as well:

Jeff getting her ready.  It wasn't a big surprise, there was a lot about "joy" in her blessing.

She continues to get smilier and smilier.  Raya is extremely spoiled and her cheeks get lots of pinches, squishy faces, and kisses. It's hard not to adore Raya.

I also turned 26th last weekend.  I had a moment where I finally realized I was an adult.

I had a really good birthday weekend

and for good blog measure here's some pictures of the boys and my failed attempts to get a "good" picture of them:

They wouldn't smile for anything!

this is as close as I got.

Raya's Tutu

I'm happy to say that this only took me five minutes: touched up the eyes and darkened lips. this could become very addicting...

I've conquered ... or at least assaulted "layers"

My first photoshop! Yay for me! I'm tired! ... and I'm not going to say how long it took either :P **hint, I touched up the eyes.

Trying out the new camera

The snow was slush, but since Jeff was home we went out anyways. I love this: This little guy is fearless when it comes to some things! He rolled down half of the hill. I love Seth's smile... Packing it up, heading home for hot chocolate. I think my camera and I will be friends, now only if photoshop and I were on friendlier terms. And a couple of firsts: Raya's first tea party! Seth's first bike ride!
