Cousin Time!

Since I am on maternity leave, I thought it would be fun to get away and take advantage of the time I have off of work. Blaine and I originally wanted to take a little family vacation somewhere together, but somehow ended up on separate flights, going to separate destinations. While Cannon and I are in Oregon spending time with my family for a few days, Blaine is in Washington, spending time with his family and fishing for the same amount of time. One of the stops we have made since we have arrived in Oregon was to see Blaine's brother Brett, and his cute little family. Cannon met his only cousin, Mercy, for the first time today! Blaine's brother Brett, and his wife Rachel, had Mercy about one month after Cannon was born. Even though Cannon is only one month older than Mercy, he looks gigantic in comparison! :) I could not believe how much bigger Cannon was and that he was that size just weeks ago. Time sure flies! Cannon is definitely growing like a weed. I weighed him yesterday and he is already 12 lbs 9 oz! This means that he has gained almost five pounds in less than two months since his birth. Yikes! Anyway, here are some pictures of Cannon's "cousin time" with baby Mercy...

Smiley Little Guy

Over the last week or so, Cannon has started to smile and coo. No longer are his smiles only from the result of gas, or at the onset of fussing. Cannon has little moments throughout each day where he will just start to smile and coo at you. It is the cutest thing! Here are some pictures of his "real" smile, as well as the "fake" ones he likes to make when gas and fussing are involved :)...

White Onesie

I don't know what it is about babies in onesies, especially white ones, but they are super cute in them! Since Cannon is already starting to show some of his cute baby fat rolls, I couldn't resist taking many pictures of him in one of his little white onesies. Here he is at one month...
