Ronan at 5-6 months:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loves seeing himself in the mirror.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mastered the bumbo, rolls over, sits on his own and is trying to crawl; he has the leg motion down, but doesn't quite get the arms moving, which usually results in his face scooting across the floor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is quite the eater....loves everything so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His favorite treats are popsicles and any scoop of smoothie someone is willing to share.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Smiles at everyone, but reserves his biggest smile for his brother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jumping keeps him happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's a fan of the water, but only lasts as long as he wants to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His hair is constantly curly because he is constantly sweaty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is almost too heavy to carry in his car seat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No teeth yet, but hopefully we will spy one soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are still debating on who he looks like, but I think we have come to the conclusion that he might not look like either of us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has great hand-eye coordination and has started bringing food to his mouth; he will either be great at sports or a really good eater....lets hope both.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, we love this big, blue eyed, smiling boy!</div>

Alta has really taken off with her photography and i love so many of her shots. These are my favorite recent photos she has taken. These are just at the local beach about a mile away, and having the three of them here with me after being by myself for half a year has really been a great change. The boys have both changed a lot since i last saw them, and both these boys have a good amount of daredevil in them. That makes dad smile and mom a little worried, but overall with our family finally back together we are all so happy. On a side note i (Thomas) would like to thank everyone who helped my family get through our time apart this last year while i was in school.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You know I
was thinking about it, and I think I will be a little sappy today. Alta
always posts pictures of our boys and says such nice things about them. I love
that, but very rarely do we get to see pictures of the one behind the camera,
and I would love to say some nice things about her because she really
means the world to me. Today I am writing an Alta Marie post, which I am
sure will be modified or removed when she sees it. Hopefully not before anyone and everyone
reading this comments not on my botched writing, but on how special Alta really
is and how beautiful she looks in these photographs. I am hijacking the
blog a bit because I have never posted before, but Alta and I have
been apart for almost four months now and I think it is really starting to
take its toll on all of us, including the boys. It doesn't help that
things seem to keep getting more complicated as she preps to come back to the
island next month, but through it all the real backbone to our little family
has been my wife Alta. She will never tell you that, and you
will have a tough time convincing her to agree that she is a
talented, beautiful, and remarkable woman and mother. Her desire
for perfection and her humility wont let her ever gives in to
arrogance or even accepting whole-heartedly the compliments she receives.
That is just one of the million things which I love about her, And
there really might be a million things I love about her. She is that
great. I think the space apart, and the separate continents, and time
zones and even way of life we experience living apart has slowly made us all go
a little upside down. I know it has made me a bit batty and Alta is raising two
kids on her own. I can only imagine how difficult that is. Despite that Alta
Marie is still who we all turn to in our family for peace and for love and
direction. I know she is the only one who can turn my aggression and
impatience into kind actions and thoughtfulness. It is the same with our
boys. Those boys like to push Alta’s buttons with dad far away and she
has to play mom and dad, and being the tough parent all the time gets difficult, but she does it with grace and style and humor, which make
it so our boys love her so much. They may act tough and pretend like mom isn’t who
they want for their bath some nights, but mom is who they want for the real important
things; like when they get hurt, or want to learn, or be loved, or when they are having a tough
day. I know that Alta has created a
relationship with our boys so that they will come to her now and forever for
help and advice and love. Yes they are still little boys, who will be stubborn
like their dad, but Alta handles them and teaches them amazingly. I don’t
know many 12 month olds that can make the sounds of 15 different animals.
Or many 18 month olds that are potty trained, or 16 month olds that know
all their abc's both big and small case. Yes they may have gotten a
little bit of dad’s smarts and genes in there. But dad only has a little
bit of smarts to give. The rest comes totally from their mother. She
is smart, dedicated and an amazing teacher. Our family it is what it is
because of her. She is amazing with our children and with me. Thanks
to her we are all better people, and we all know our ABC's, both big and small
case. Alta tends to get down on herself for a lot of things. She always
wants to continue to be the best at what she does and she always wants to
perfect what she does. In doing this naturally she compares herself to
others. We all know that comparison can be hard and sometimes unproductive because there will always
be someone with more experience or different circumstances. Comparing
usually isn’t good, but I am guilty of doing it too sometimes. I compare Alta
to others a lot because in my eyes now and forever no one else will ever
compare to her. She is one of a kind, and I’m beyond blessed to have that
one special Alta in my life as my wife and as the mother of my children.
She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and she is a wonderful
and loving mother and wife. Times are a little tough being apart, but
that trial and the difficulties we face apart will be over soon. Luckily the
talents, beauty, love, and humor Alta has will be around forever. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ronan at 4 months......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is happy as ever, with ever growing dimples.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His feet are more interesting than any toy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has been sleeping like a champ, which I really appreciate!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is super coordinated; grabbing anything within reach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He might be teething....who knows, but there are constantly fingers or fists in his mouth and a whole lot of drooling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This boy might be ready for some rice cereal; at least it seems like it, the way he watches me eat.....he wants a taste of some real food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not rolling over yet, but rolls from side to side when he is on his back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is way too strong for how little he is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wants all the attention; when all eyes aren't on him....he will get them back with a scream or two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can't believe how old he is already, two more months and he will be half a year....wow!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ronan is the best, just like his older brother!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He is a bit of a drooler..... I will take that any day over spit-up...which he has yet to do (knock on wood!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He weighs in at 14 solid pounds and is going through clothes faster than we probably hoped.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">At two months.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ronan is starting to show a little personality and there is no better way to describe it, but by using a word we picked up in England. "Cheeky". It's so true though, Ronan is a "cheeky," little baby. His smile tells it all; he thinks he is hilarious.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He definitely has his dad's body type, very long and broad. There are no rolls to be found, but when you pick this boy up he is SOLID. He is much bigger than Krew was at this age, but "fat," doesn't describe him...he really is just solid.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately he has been a great sleeper; sometimes 6-7 hours at night and lots of naps during the day. No real sleep schedule yet, but we are getting there.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hand chewing is a new obsession. I've seen him fit his whole fist in his mouth at one point...pretty impressive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ronan is still a chunkster when it comes to eating; still cries when you don't get him food fast enough and can't seem to stay quiet when he does eat....he's always gulping and gasping.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You can already tell that Ronan wants to be best buds with Krewzer. He is absolutely mesmerized with Krew. I can't wait to see these two grow up together.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not only is he smiling a ton, but he is starting to find his voice. He coos all the time and has some of the funnest facial expressions.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As for Krew, he is still the cutest, smartest and funniest little 2 year old I know. Loves dirt and rocks. Wrestling and running (chasing). Cars and Play-dough. Strawberries and treats (of course). I can't believe he is going to be 2 and a half next month...time is flying by!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It was such a nice Sunday filled with family, friends and good food. We are very grateful to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to raise our family in the Gospel. It's days like these that remind us how truly blessed we really are. I really do love us. Life is good. These are just a few shots that we rattled off during the busy day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lnRhnpxafAI/T0XQKMsXqsI/AAAAAAAAB3U/nPXHuADatZk/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;">One month....yep a month....a whole month has gone by since Ronan was born. Can you believe it?? I am not sure how I feel about it; there are some mixed emotions. Part of me feels like he is way older than a month; probably because we spent most of the month out and about with dad before he left; I mean he has already been to Berkeley several times and made his way into the city as well....how many newborns can say they've done that. Then a part of me feels like he is still so little; the every 2-3 hour feedings at night are a great reminder that he really is only a month old. No matter how I feel about it though, a month has gone by and I can't wait for what is to come.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">at one month Ronan loves...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">his milk; he will let you know when you are not getting it into him fast enough</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">his brother; whenever Krew is near, Ronan is sure to turn toward his voice</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to be talked to; he is his most alert when someone takes the time to conversate</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the camera; Ronan was born to be a model - he already knows how to make love to the camera with his deep blue eyes, which makes his mom happy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to be held; he sleeps his best when wrapped up in the arms of another</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">his baths; he falls asleep in his bath every time without fail, then coupled with a warm towel and a space heater, this boy is heaven</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ronan really is a great baby; I have said it before, but we are blessed to have two great boys. As for Krew, he is such a good big brother. He loves giving his "baby broder" kisses and asks about "Baby Ronan" right when he wakes up in the morning. Having a little brother has transformed Krew into "all boy." Lately he has been all about jumping, running, dirt, rocks and play fighting with his toys. With Ronan's eating habits and Krew's new found love of fighting.....Ronan might just turn out to be a monster...haha!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am excited to see how these two turn out....As for now I will cherish the little things each month while they are still little</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Lauren is super talented....at everything, it is almost sick how talented she is and how quickly she picks things up, like photography for example. She just recently got a new camera and has already been asked to do engagements, a wedding, family and senior portraits.....so I was lucky enough to have her take some family shots before Ronan was born and then have her capture some in the hospital the next day. You should all check out her blog.....it is thelaurenstyle.blogspot.com. The link below goes to the hospital pictures, but search around because some of our family photo shoot is on there as well....oh and did I mention that she is super talented; she is usually my go to girl when it comes to fashion, hair, make-up, products, you name it, she knows it so you should start following her because you will definitely learn a thing or two!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">20 1/2 in</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We welcomed Ronan into our family just over a week ago (can't believe a week has already gone by) and we are loving every second. Of course it is an adjustment, not only to have a newborn, but to now have two kids, however I think we are pretty blessed to have two amazing little boys. This little guy wasn't suppose to come until January 25, or 21 or sometime in February, according to some ultrasounds.....who knows....apparently the doctors weren't too sure either. Around 37 weeks the doctor ordered a non-stress because there were concerns that Ronan was too small. The tests showed an active baby and a good amount of amniotic fluid, so there was no need for an emergency induction.....the doctor just said the baby would probably be small, around 5 lbs. She also stressed that we would need to rush to the hospital when the time came because I was already pretty far along (4-5 cm dilated, and 50%+ effaced). So we went on our way a little nervous, but very excited to meet the little guy. The Thursday before Ronan was born, I woke up feeling really dizzy and light headed, which is not too big of a deal considering I have super low blood pressure during pregnancy, but I also didn't feel Ronan move as much as usual, so we called the doctor with our concerns. That night we went to Walnut Creek's labor and delivery to have another non-stress test. Again everything checked out, but there was still worry about him being a small baby. The doctor said I was definitely dilated to a 5 and 80% effaced and thought I would deliver before the weekend was over. She went ahead and scheduled an induction for Sunday morning because I as so far along and the baby was small, but she had her doubts about me making it until then. Welp, I did. We had our bags packed and walked calmly into labor and delivery Sunday morning to check in. And after 7 attempts at an I.V. (apparently I have tricky veins), I started the induction process with pitocin. Then some waiting, a little bit of pain, two attempts at an epidural (yep apparently my spine is tricky too), then some more waiting, we were ready to go. I told the nurse I felt some pressure and was ready to push. She checked me, saw some dark hair and got the doctor in there....we were ready to meet Ronan. Thomas scrubbed up to deliver the baby (the doctors asked if he wanted to deliver Ronan, knowing he was in medical school and very interested in the whole process) and then four sets of pushes, 7 1/2 minutes later , Ronan was here (and definitely not as little as the doctors thought....who knows where he was hiding). Just like with Krew's delivery, this was another peaceful and calm experience. I am so grateful for educated doctors, kind nurses, pain relieving medication!!!, a loving husband, a supportive family and now two beautiful children.<br />

And the fact that he is announcing our baby number two (who should be here soon) makes it extra special to me. Here's to 2011; it was a good year for our family: we lived in a different country, got to travel all over Europe, announce another baby into the Bills Family, and Thomas finished the first year of medical school successfully....couldn't ask for a better year!!! Can't wait to see what 2012 brings!</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><em style="background-color: white; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; ">This photo was entered into the I Heart Faces photo challenge this week.

The super hero photo of Krew was chosen as one of the "Top 10 Cutest Kids of 2011" for I Heart Faces. I had no idea they were doing "Top 10" categories to close out 2011, so it was a pleasant surprise to see Krew's photo up on the website. It has given me a little more motivation to keep taking photos, although I think this big belly of mine has slowed me down a bit. I am excited to keep capturing Krew and soon add this little guy into the mix.Thomas, Alta and Krewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08713470352317840132noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222104340712788410.post-13196336375209161832012-01-06T21:24:00.000-08:002012-01-06T21:24:42.851-08:00cleaning up christmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Putting away glass ornaments isn't the most ideal task for a two year old so I tried to keep Krew busy playing with some extra christmas lights while everyone else cleaned up christmas. I wanted to take the photos a little later in the evening so that the lights shined a bit brighter, but Krew was so happy to be playing, I just had to snap a few. It was a good way to finish packing up christmas. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I really do. Christmas always reminds me of how special they are to me and I cannot wait to add another boy to this family. My due date has been moved up a few days earlier and this next Bills boy may be here sooner than we thought. We don’t have a name yet but this next little guy looks just like Krew in the ultrasounds, "Whipple genes are strong" according to Thomas. This Christmas in California has really brought our family together and it will be sad to have Thomas leave for school shortly after this next baby. But in the mean time its moments like this when he is here that I love to capture and look at over and over again. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
