Max kisses!

I guess with a name like Max he won't do anything half way. It will be full force with all his might. He wrapped his arms around my neck so tight and latched on to my chin. I loved it! It was my first hug from him and it was a very serious kiss! I couldn't resist getting a photo of it.
But by the time I pulled him off the damage was done. He left his mark on me. I'm his mama and no one can doubt it :)


In other news, Lily adores her cousins and here is a shot of Lily and Ellie riding motorcycles on the boardwalk.
and who can resist a smiley boy!

Modest Mama & Kangaroo Carrier

I have started a little business. Recently I had a few people approach me about purchasing some of my creations. So I've begun to sell them and take orders for more.

I make nursing covers:
Modest Mama $20



and baby pouch slings:
Kangaroo Carrier $30





*These photos are a sampling of ones I have previously made
If you are interested in any please contact me. I'd love to sew it and get it out to you ASAP!

Below are a variety of fabrics I have as possible Modest Mama nursing covers.
There is an even wider selection for slings.

Three months old

My Mr. Max is almost 3 months old! I can hardly believe its been that long. It feels like I was just leaving the hospital with my new little man. He is amazingly strong! The pediatrician said at his 2 month check-up he's incredibly strong and physically capable for his age. He rolls over, pushes his chest and belly off the floor has amazing head control and loves to stand.

He smiles and has started to laugh when tickled. He can make his toys sing while on his mat that lays on the floor. I even caught him trying to turn toys on his jungle jumper. Honestly he's too young to sit in his jumper but he loves it!

He loves a very warm bath and his favorite time of day is just waking up or right before bed. He grins ear to ear right after sleeping. Then when I lay him on the changing table to dress him for bed he knows he has mama's full attention and soaks it all in. He has the most infectious smile and dimples. My Max loves me to kiss him and tickle his neck with my chin while kissing.

I've found myself wonder how much I really love my children and in those precious moments my heart is filled to bursting with the love I hold for them. Bed time is my favorite part of the day. Together we pray, we hug, kiss and snuggle. No matter what happened that day good or bad it all ends in love and affection for each other and for the Lord. I adore my family and am so blessed to be sealed for eternity with them.

With no further ado here are a few photos of my Max this past month. Enjoy!

the butterfly landed on Daddy
Little known fact: caterpillars prefer plastic




flight test

I made these wings for my little girl and she loves them. She tried to help make some with fabric scraps and told me she was making a "peanut butterfly" :)
trying to survive the rainy parade. she laid down in the wagon after a few blocks and refused to wave anymore. It was actually quite cute.

Family Vacation

We had an amazing vacation in Utah. We spent a whole month there moving around between different places for my family reunion and then settling back at David's parent's home in Enoch. It was wonderful and this is a sampling of our trip. I know its a lot of photos. I'm a visual person and this is my favorite way to capture memories. Believe me when I say this is a small portion of the photos I took :)
