One month later

One of several at-home weigh-ins with the midwife.  This was June 22, so Stephen was 6 days old.  Scrawny little legs!  Now he is a month old, and he's definitely put on some pudge!

Another shot at 6 days old... his hair seems a bit darker than Peter's at birth, so perhaps all four of our kids will have different hair colours

 Little peanut!

Nate had a week at home with just Mom, Dad, and Stephen and enjoyed the extra attention

Having a water fight with Daddy... poor kid, I think the hose pressure was turned down so he didn't stand a chance!

 Mom and Stephen

We went to see the tall ships at Port Dalhousie on the last Saturday in June.  The kids were so excited to go on a "pirate ship"

 Happy kids!

Good morning, boys!

 

 Poor baby had to put up with Mom painting his feet and making footprints

Sweetly sleeping

 

 

 On the weekend of Stephen's baptism, Grandma, Aunt Karen, Aunt Andrea and Derek came to sleep over.  The kids enjoyed sparklers in the evening

 

 

 Baptism family picture

This baptism gown has a history in my Mom's family - starting in 1917 with the baptism of the first child of Klaas and Antje Eleveld-Fernhout in Holland.  Stephen was the 31st baby to wear it

 

 My family of pirates - we made pirate earrings one afternoon, and when Daddy came home he made his own earrings out of fridge magnets.  Life is never dull!

Nate and his new room-mate (well, in a little while anyways)

The kids wearing their Spiderman shirts from Aunt Dell and Uncle Tim.  I was being spyed on by three "SPY-dermen"
