More Dawson Pictures

I have been such a slacker, I have had so many fun things going on but have not had a chance to update. Jaxon left for Tennessee on the 13th and that was not very fun. It is hard to see him go every summer but it is good he gets to see his mom and Nanny and Johnboy. He is finished with baseball and I will post some pics from that as soon as I find my camera. Here are some random pics of Dawson hope you enjoy them. He loves to smile now, even in his sleep
look how big he is getting! I love the milk belly in this pic!

he loves his daddy...

...and his mommy!

his first fohawk (fake mohawk)

I love this smile this was taken on the 10th of June!

New Mobile Pics

Here are some more recent pics of Dawson. The top one was taken yesterday and get older as you scroll down. (I know backwards huh) These were all taken from our cell phones so they are not the best, I still need to post the good ones we have but I have not gotten that far. I hope you enjoy them anyways.

Rusty is so good with Dawson, he protects him and loves him. It really is the sweetest thing you could ever see. Here he is asleep by him yesterday.
OH!

Dawson Sleeping with Grandpa Bruce, it is so tender! My parents are loving this whole grandparents thing!

He loves his vibrating chairs! Here he is enjoying it, one second before this picture he was screaming!

He loves to stick his tounge out, telling me he his hungry!

I love his expressions!

This is the day we brought him home. He has grown so much in the past month.

Here he is leaving the hospital. It was such a long stay we couldn't wait to take him home. Well we went to my parents house for extra help because I was still not feeling well, it was so nice to have the help.

Here is one of his first pictures. He is so adorable! A little bird-like but still adorable!

A Much Needed Family Update!

I know I have been slacking on the blog updating thing resently. Hey I have a newborn give me a break! Well I am teaching summer school now so I have more time on a computer to keep everyone updated. Can you believe I get paid to do this? Anywho, here is a quick update...
Jared is still working with the fire department, playing mens softball, helping coach Jaxon's baseball team and being daddy of the year. He helps me out as much as he can with Dawson and still manages to cook almost every night, HOORAY FOR MY GREAT HUSBAND!
Jaxon is playing baseball and doing a great job. He has improved so much this year! He has made some great plays and is so much fun to watch. He is also playing so much with his friends and enjoying every second of it. He has some really great friends, we are so thankful for that.
I am teaching summer school at the high school for a few hours everyday. They talked me into it by saying I could bring Dawson with me. So he hangs with me and it is working out better than I thought it would, he is such a great baby.
Dawson is growing so fast. It is amazing how fast he changes. He is looking and showing more personality everyday. He has grown so much, he is still so small but has put on some healthy weight! (Gotta love Mommas milk). He is our little angel, he is sleeping and eating well and so far has been a pretty easy baby.
I am sure most of you have heard that the delivery was a little scary so I want to clear some things up. Dawson was born with the umbilical cord around his neck and had a few other problems. He was struggling breathing and urinating, which they said were all complications of having the cord around his neck. He was in NICU for the first 24 hours, Jared was the only one who could see him. I couldn't even see him and that was very very hard. After delivery I hemmoraged and was bleeding out quick. I lost 2 Liters of blood very fast and almost had to have a transfusion, but luckily they stopped my bleeding fast enough. I didn't realize how serious my condition was until the next day. I was so lucky I was at Timpanogos hospital and not in Price, they were fantastic and had a fantastic staff that basically saved my life. I was very weak and tired for a long time after. Trying to take care of a brand new baby while feeling that way was not fun. I was also afraid I was not going to be able to breastfeed because the doctors didn't think I would even produce milk because of the condition I was in. But God helped out quick and everything was normal after about a week. I am still super tired and weak but I am getting better quick. I just am so blessed for so many things it is amazing. THanks for your prayers and thoughts we love you all!
I will post some updated pics tomorrow! I PROMISE!
