What is she thinking?

I'm always wondering what is going on inside Diem's mind?
I like to put captions to her many facial expressions.

6 months

Believe it or not Diem is
One half year
Stats: 17 lbs. 5oz. 80%, 27 1/4 inches 96%
Diem is a happy, playful, drooly girl. She loves to eat fingers, toes, and baby food.
Her eye color is still a mystery and as you can see from the pictures
prefers a sideway view of the world.
We love, love, love this little girl.

2-PEAT

Braxton and Bret's football team won the championship!
They were so excited. Here is another father-son-ish picture to add to the scrapbook.

DM + LC = best buds

Diem and Elsie had their first of many hangouts.
They sure make a cute duo.

I think they like each other.

Gardner Village






I have been searching for a cardigan with a small floral print for myself.

I found one.
It just happened to be a little too small.
Oh well,
I have more fun dressing her.

DIEM'S Nemesis

Your first thought is probably nox noctis {night}.
But this is not a story about opposites. It is a bittersweet tale of Diem's clash with a tree.

Diem really likes the tree on her play mat. She enjoys the bright green color,the crinkly paper noise it makes, and its delicious taste {I assume this fact because it is always dripping with her drool}.









So why would something she loves so much be her nemesis?

Well, it is stitched to the play mat. And no matter how hard Diem tries {she is very persistent} the tree will not come along with her everywhere she rolls. This has caused her to express an emotion we have not yet seen-frustration. Oh boy, does she get mad. She squeals and cries, tries to eat it and pull it off, and squeals and cries some more.



{Tree, come over here I have to show you something really cool}


{You win this round, Tree.}

baby DiEm

We had a fun weekend in Las Vegas cheering on the Utes and hanging out with family. Thanks to Colin, Nancy and Elliott for letting us crash at their place. I showed no self control at H&M and bought way to much for Diem, I guess a girl can never have enough clothes. I forgot to pack the camera, along with many other things... so I don't have proof that our mini-vaca was fun filled you'll just have to trust me on that one.

And what can I say about Diem except she is the best. All you parents now how I feel. She is just busy being a cute, little baby. She rolls all over, plays with her toys, drools all over everything, tells very long and loud stories, laughs, sleeps well and eats well. She still looks like her daddy with her mom's eyebrows. We love our baby Diem.


I've been having a hard time capturing her smile in photos. When ever I get the camera out she is determined to find a way to grab it and stick it in her mouth.
"Get in my mouth, camera!"

Blessing Day




4 months

4 Month stats:
15 lbs 5 oz 76%
26 1/4 in 98%



This is the view we see most often- bald spot and bum.
Already for Braxton and Bret's football game.
Little League football is the best.


Diem loves being around her buddies Grady and Teagan. I can't wait until she can wrestle around with them.
Elliott came to visit. We can't wait to go visit her in a couple weeks.

Vegas baby.
