those. lips.

I can't get enough of them. I don't know where they came from, and so far they are unique to him. All I do know is they'll probably get him into trouble someday. The lips, the hair, his name = recipe for disaster. Thank goodness I still have a few years to prepare myself for those days...

i just love babies.

It's probably a good thing my body freaks out when i'm pregnant, otherwise I'd probably end up with 20 kids. And that's just so I could squish on 20 babies. But seriously, there is nothing quite so sweet as the first few months of a baby's life. And while Oskar is definitely a Harmon, he looks different than his brothers (Max and Nick looked so similar as newborns that the frist few months after Nick was born was like deja-vu to me and it freaked me out) so I am just eating him and his uniqueness up. Oskar is about 2 months old now and at his check-up he weighed in at 11 pounds 11 ounces, ending up in the 47th percentile for weight. I know that doesn't sound that big a deal to you, but since my other two babies were always in the 20-something percentile for weight Oskar is a chunker! Although I'm not that surprised since eating is pretty much all he does when he's awake. Besides look cute and let me take lots and lots of photos of him. (babies are the best to photograph, especially when they can't run away yet. And that is the reason why you see more photos of Oskar than the other two) Also, we're thinking there's a chance Oskar will be a ginger. Only time will tell, but we're hoping!

block leave 2012 part two: the petrified forest

things to note:
-we stayed the night in Holbrook AZ at an awesome KOA. Our first time camping in about 2 years.
-pictures do not do this place justice.
-Nick really likes his belly button.
-the picture of Nick and I and the one of Yula from behind were taken by Max.
-this day was our 8 year wedding anniversary!!
-after seeing us take an arms length picture of ourselves (in which I am out of focus) a kind stranger offered to take one for us.
-it. was. so. hot.
-we LOVE the cargo hauler on the back of our car. (since we now lost the trunk space to the dog)
-Rob loves cars.
-old route 66 cuts through the park so there was a little monument to it. I thought the entire road still existed, but only some parts do. The rest have been swallowed back up by it's surroundings. All that is left of this section are the out of use utility poles.

sunday best: pregnancy edition

As any (or at least most...) pregnant woman knows, the last few weeks of pregnancy are really rough on your self esteem. It's kind of hard to feel pretty or cute when you're getting swollen and humongous. So this outfit did the impossible; I didn't feel like a million bucks but I felt more attractive than normal:) It's the same dress as here, but with different accessories this time.

dress: Gap Maternity (thank heavens for that OCS ball so I could own this dress!)
shoes: Minnetonka Moccasins
belt: supposedly Guatemalan made; I got it at a touristy shop in Estes Park Colorado
necklace: bought on our trip to the Petrified Forest this summer; made by an artist local to that area!

And I'm pretty sure I was around 33 or 34 weeks here.

this is going to be the best weekend ever.

Yessiree, it sure is! Rob gets a four day weekend (woohoo!) AND it's General Conference weekend. So we've got lots of fun stuff planned, which may or may not include staying in our pj's ALL day Sunday while we watch conference on our good ol' computers. (technology is wonderful, I do not miss having to get dressed up and head to the stake center and sit in uncomfortable chairs in the dark for the two hour broadcast) Yup, we are going to take full advantage of not having to be anywhere for four days.

So while we're off having fun, you can look at this lovely picture of my boys basking in the sweet glow of the ipad.

Although I can assure you the will NOT be doing much of that this weekend. Not when daddy's home!
