comparisons at bath time

Since I have the same bath for all my kids I thought these pictures are pretty good comparisons.  They are all at different ages (between 2 and 4 months). 

I put Dane in the middle of the boys and girls.

Noah's papers

I have been meaning to post about this for about a year - but kept forgetting to take pictures.  Last year we stopped having screen time on weekdays (BEST DECISION EVER!).  Noah had to come up with some new hobbies.  One thing about Noah - what ever he does, he does it ALL THE WAY - that is a nice way of saying he becomes obsessed :)

It started with origami - specifically star wars origami.  He would spend hours and hours making origami.  His teacher gave him a whole other desk and then a box under his desk just to keep his papers in and at home he had a whole box full.  It was pretty adorable.  He loved them.  He doesn't do it much any more - but he has kept his favorites.

After origami he went on to create comics.  He has invented many different characters and he puts up posters and flyers around our house announcing when he has finished a comic so we can come "buy" it - he has a store in his room.  He works on them all the time.  It is pretty precious.  

Baby Dane (picture overload!)

I didn't get newborn pictures of Dane for a few reasons.  Jess Curren has taken all of my newborn pictures (for free) and she is traveling around the country. Sad.  I tried calling around and everyone was too expensive.  I was going to do it anyways but it got to be too overwhelming.  They all just wanted to come to my house and do it on my bed.  That was overwhelming.  Then... if I was going to pay someone I wanted shots with Jason and me, all the kids, family pictures, etc.  That got WAY too overwhelming.  So I thought - I just need 1 or 2 good ones to put on the wall.  I will try taking some and if I get 1 or 2 good ones then I won't pay anyone.  If I don't... then I will.  

I got my 1 or 2 good ones.  A lot of them are the same picture with different filters.  Enjoy

I wish he didn't have his binkey (have I mentioned I HATE this kind of binkey - but his suck is wrong so he needs it for tongue exercise) 

I can't pick my favorite!!
