It's been so much fun to see him be so sweet with Lila. He's never once done anything to hurt her on purpose, and while we know that can't last long (or he wouldn't rightfully be a big brother) we're eating it up while it lasts. We're so excited to see them grow up together!





The holding process. It starts out by Van looking all innocent and reaching out his arms toward the baby while saying "me hold it," quickly followed be the look of triumph for getting to hold her.

Then he'll usually plant a kiss on her head and it's soooo cute. But then he promptly decides he's done about 2 seconds later, and it looks like he hasn't tactfully learned how to express that yet, because he just suddenly drops flat onto his back and starts wriggling out from under her in order to escape.

love this boy.


the crazy sleep smile

life with 2 kids. Looks like we're about to become master multi-taskers by default.


doing what newborns do best...and we're always game for any excuse to get some extra shut-eye.







One of our favorite photos ever. This is Van yelling "i doked!" (meaning = I'm stoked!")

Loving these updates! And I LOVE your place! Orange chair?! Hello, darling.
Congrats on the new baby, she's adorable!
I was hoping we'd all see her soon! And she doesn't disappoint...what a beautiful baby! Having a girl is so fun and even more fun is seeing your first child with a sibling. Looks like Van is mastering his big brother duties. Glad everything went well. And I can sympathize with your bloated feet...I had cankles to boot with Max. It sucks! Glad they're back to normal!
OK, your baby, she's cute. Her name, it rocks. Your house, it aint looking like a basement. Your orange accent chair, I want one.
Soooo many good photos!! One of my faves is the one of Jon on the couch. Your kids' lives are very well documented! I have to wonder.... how many pictures do you guys take in a month? ;)
You guys have some cute kids! Good work there. We can't wait to see you next week!!

Yeah! I have been looking forward to this update and little lila is so so precious! I love the pictures of you with your two little sweethearts! I am so happy for you. Congratulations and please keep the pictures coming, it is so fun to see how they grow! :) We just found out a few weeks ago we are having a girl too and it is fun to see Van as the "big brother." I am looking forward to that with Jackson and hoping it goes well, too.
