Paging Dr. Knox

 As a birthday gift for Ryan, I decided to outfit his office with a fresh crop of pictures of the boys.  Now that he has two offices, I had even more pictures to come up with.  Luckily, I have over 7,000 pictures on my computer.  The challenge was narrowing them down.

When Carter was a little over two years old, he played dress up in his doctor outfit.  Of course, I had my camera ready, and posted this entry.  We received an adorable outfit for Knox from our friends and Ryan wanted to be sure that he had photos of him.  That left Cannon, I needed some of him too.  I don't want to  give him any reason to pull the middle child card when he is older.  Luckily, Cannon came through too.  He came in wearing a knight helment and a stethoscope (all his idea) ready to "examine" baby Knox.  Those pictures are here.

 But now on to Knox.  He was much more still than Carter or Cannon.




This will make his dad proud

He just asked me if I had my headphones on.




Now he is just showing off.

A balmy winter afternoon

It's the end of February and the youngest boys and I are enjoying this 80 degree afternoon on the porch. I just love our front porch, but I love these guys even more.

4 weeks old today!




Baby Knox is four weeks old today! I'm not sure how much he weighs, but he feels a lot heavier than he did two weeks ago. He loves to sleep more during the daytime than he does at night. But, we are working on that. He's beginning to enjoy a bath more, and is staying awake for longer periods of time during the day. There's not much time to rest when you're the third child as we've been on the go for basketball games, Valentines parties, and trips to the park. Luckily, so far, he's a great traveler. His big brothers are doing well. They love to help. Knox came to Carter's Valentine's party yesterday. Carter was so proud to show off his little brother. It was also fun to see how excited his friends were that Carter had a new baby brother. Mom did fine too, she just told the kids not to touch the baby. :-). Carter also loves to hold Knox. Canon is very enthusiastic about his little brother. He cheers and claps when Knox is awake, and last to give him kisses when he's asleep. Canon always asks if he can pet Knox like a puppy dog.

Sweet snuggler

---catching up on a few pre-Knox posts-- Cannon is so snugly with the baby.







He also liked the pigs at the stock show. Please don't comment on any similarities. :)
