It's a boy... again!





I am going to give this blogging thing a try. Not really sure where to start...
On July 4th 2006 we had our third baby boy, Dallin Nicholas West. He is a little sweetie. I use the word 'little' lightly. He is pushing 20lbs and only 4 months old! He weighed 7lbs 6oz at birth and is just growing like a weed. Kyle and Nathan are pretty adjusted to their new little brother. They love to make him laugh. They think it is so cool when Dallin has a nasty blowout and laugh so hard. Dallin can roll over from front to back and back to front now. He is a super mellow baby, which I am very thankful. Dallin loves to suck his little thumb, which Dan and I think is so cute.
Nathan is 3 now and my little helper. He stays home with me and keeps himself busy. He is my independent boy. He has a very vivid imagination and likes to paint, build with blocks, play dinosaurs, dress up in costumes, and help me with anything I am doing. Nathan does not let any family member leave the house without hugs and kisses. He will chase us down the driveway yelling 'wait, hugs and kisses' if you try to sneak out. Nathan is a sweet boy with a heart of gold.
Kyle is our outgoing 5 year old. He goes to school for half the day and is doing well with it. He loves to ride his bike, play soccer, skateboard, and play baseball. Kyle was lucky to inherit his daddy's' coordination. This summer Kyle learned how to swim and is quite the little fish. Kyle is a natural leader and is always surprising us with his insight.
Dan is doing great... handsome and fun as ever. He is still working at CSA and loving it. His current obsession is the 'Nikon D200' camera. (--moment of silence--) In our house, we must pause for a moment of silence after 'her' name is spoken. He has been thinking of trying some photography work on the side and would like a more professional camera. I guess we will have to see if he has been naughty or nice when Santa makes his rounds this year.
This is all I have time for. I will try to post again after Thanksgiving....
