Five weeks old

Here are a few pictures I took of Peter on Saturday. He is five weeks old, and weighs about 9lbs. and his close to 21" long. He has definitely grown since he was born, and becoming more alert and starting to coo to you.

The Month of April So Far

Between the Saturday Conference sessions it was nice enough to take the kids to the park to play. Here are a few photos of that hour.

Jeff giving Kaylie an under doggie.

Do the same to Daniel. Notice in one of the pictures Jeff's tongue sticking out. Whenever Jeff does anything active especially sports related it comes out. In a picture below you will see Daniel doing the same thing with his tongue.

Look at Daniel's tongue!!!

One night after FHE. Peter loves to be on his tummy.

A couple of pictures during Peter's first real bath.

So the other morning I was making breakfast when I looked out my kitchen window and saw a turkey. Before I new it close to a dozen turkey's were walking through out backyard heading for our drive way. The kids thought it was so neat to see a flock of turkey in our yard.

Here they are in the front yard at the end of the drive way in a single file line. Daniel wanted to get the car out and follow them. It is funny because we have now seen turkey's, a fox, a possum, and a weasel in our yard.

We got to celebrate Jeff's birthday last Monday night. I decided to put 42 candles on his cake and light them. I don't think I will be doing that next year. Half of them were almost gone by the time they were all lit.

And being Jeff, he wanted to keep the cake germ free so instead blowing out the candles he waved a folder and made a funny face, and I was actually able to catch it in just one shot. Happy Birthday honey!

Grandma Brenda's Visit

Grandma Brenda was able to come out just a few days after Peter was born to help for about a week. It was so great to have you. Thanks for all you did. The kids keep asking when you are coming out again. Here are some pictures from your visit.

First family photo. It only took a little over a week after Peter was born to get it taken.

One Week Old

These are a few of the pictures I took of Peter at a week old. I can't believe how the week has flown. Between sleepless nights and busy days, I can't imagine why time speeds by. He has put all the weight back on he lost in the hospital and is back up to 7lbs. 4 oz. He has such a sweet disposition and loves to cuddle into your neck. When he does he looks like a peanut.

Here are a couple of feet shots, and I liked how they looked in black in white. The one below is the one my mother in law likes better, and since I couldn't decide I put both up.

I love the smirky smile in this picture.

Soaking up the warmth of the sun.

Sunday--The day we came home from the hospital

Peter and I came home from the hospital on Sunday afternoon. I don't know who was more excited for us to come, the kids or Jeff. Sunday morning Jeff and the kids went to Gloversville to listen to Jeff give a talk as a High Councilman and then they came to get Peter and I. As soon as we got home the kids wanted to hold Peter and I took a couple of pictures, here are three of my favorites.

Daniel with his little brother. Peter looks so much like Daniels' pictures when he was this age.

Peter all snuggled up and sleeping in Kaylie's arms.

Kaylie and Peter waving hi to everyone. Hello world!!!

Peter Yeager's Arrival

Peter Watson Yeager arrived in the early morning hours of Friday March 11, 2011. Weighing in at 7 lbs. 4oz. and 17 1/2 inches long. Wednesday I started having back spasms on and off all day and didn't realize I was having back labor till Thursday morning. Then Thursday evening my water broke right before I was going to go out to dinner with a friend. By the time Peter was delivered I had experienced back labor, normal stomach labor, and thigh labor. Who knew you could have contractions in your thighs! Lets just say I was very greatful when Peter finally arrived.

Shortly after Peter was born.

The first photo with my new son.

First photo with Dad. Doesn't Jeff look well rested.

With each kid I have captured the first time Jeff has fallen asleep holding them . Jeff set a new record with Peter and falling asleep with him in his arms just a few hours after being born.
