3 Months

I'm a little behind. I swear there aren't enough hours in the day anymore. But I am loving being a mom! It is the best job ever. So let me rewind and give you Draek's 2 month stats.

2 Months

12 lb. 5 oz. (75%)

25 in. long (100+%)

Holding his head up really good

Loves being outside

Loves baths

Not a fan of the pacifier

Doesn't like naps

Has the cutest smile :)

3 Months

Between 13-14 lb.

26 in. long

Loves his jumper

Will not take a pacifier

Loves outside 

Loves going on runs with Mom

Is officially in 3-6 month clothes

Is totally a Momma's boy (but I can't really complain about that)

Likes dogs, especially Grandma Larsen's dog Sparkles

Loves singing primary songs with Mom

He sure knows how to get sympathy from Grandma :)

As for me, I've been keeping busy. My sister Kelcie and I ran the ColorRun 5k in Rexburg over the 4th of July weekend and had so much fun! We ran it in about 35 minutes which was under our goal of 45 and got nice and colorful along the way. Yay us!

It was great to get back and start running again. I'm training up for a 10k in September and a half marathon in November. I'm giving myself lots of time to train and work up to it :) But I'm way excited to have found a good hobby. Oh and I'm SO grateful for a husband who woke up early on a Saturday, drove to Rexburg, and took care of Draek so I could run. He's the best!

We're just feeling so grateful to be parents to such a cute and (mostly) happy little boy. He sure keeps us busy and we are so blessed!

9 months later...

So I know it's been a while and things have changed just a little bit :) So I'd like to introduce:

Jesse Draek Larsen

Born April 9, 2013

7 lb. 15 oz.

He is such a good little boy and we can't imagine life without him now. The past month has been so much fun learning and adjusting to being parents. I feel so blessed to be a mom. 

When he was just 6 days old we were brave and went to a newborn photo shoot. Here are a few pictures from the shoot. (Thanks to Caralee Case for her awesome photos! www.caraleecasephotography.com)

 I'm so happy with how they turned out. It was so great to capture him while he was so small. Right now he's only 5 weeks old, but already he's so much bigger. So here's some stats on him today.

 He is 10 lb. 6 oz.

Loves to swing

Likes going on walks with mommy (we're training for a 10k)

Is starting to smile

Sleeps between 5-7 hours at night (YES!)

Loves to snuggle

 And is super good at holding up his head.

Again, I feel so blessed to be the mom to Draek and wife to Jesse. I have the best boys in my life and I am so lucky to have them!
