Home again

Well we are home from a busy week in Colorado. We went on a very steep hike with Dylan strapped into her baby biorn, played disc golf in Vale, attended a Rockies game, swam in a pool, and relaxed in general. None of us ever want to drive again! Dylan's binkie was my best friend on the trip, along with a hand held breast pump. Our baby was a trooper and barely fussed at all! In other news, Dylan rolled over for her first time. It was very exciting and we have been giving her more tummy time to practice her mad skills.

We made it!

We got into Edwards, CO last night at 11:00 and Dylan was awesome. She slept a lot of the way and when she was awake she was fine for the most part. The Dalles through most of Utah was awful as there is very little to see but once we got close to Colorado I felt a little more at home. We are very excited to get out and see the area over the week. I will try to write another update at some point this week.

Getting ready for a road trip.

We are a couple of days away from heading to Colorado with little Dylan. So far her longest trip is 3 hours to g and g's house so 17 hours might be pushing it. We are going to visit our friend Codi for the week and plan on doing some hiking and maybe some light camping. We will be sure to take plenty of pictures to put up on the blog. Wish us luck!

Dylan has been doing great since I went back to work 3 weeks ago (3Weeks!!!). The first week she was mad and looked at me with untrusting eyes when i returned home each night. Now she is a happy baby who still loves her boob but will take a bottle fine. Being back at work has been a little rough. I am only working 30 hours a week which is really nice although I miss her a lot while I am at work and am usually exhausted by the time I get home. I am trying to not work the 9-6 shift again because I would never see Dylan but my assistant teacher doesn't want to work that shift exclusively which makes things difficult. I might end up looking for a new job if I have to work that shift since Dylan is now my top priority. Hopefully it doesn't come to that since I love my job.

In other news... I forgot to add on my blog about Patrick's graduation all the new people Dylan was able to meet! Arlene, my boss when I worked at Munchies, was able to meet Dylan. Dylan can't wait to be old enough to eat Munchies' delicious nachos and milkshakes:)! Dylan also made a new baby friend-Jackson, who is Lacey's son.

Doctor visit

Dylan had her 2 month check up which included shots. Again the medieval doctors made my little girl cry but this time she turned super red and made some huge tears. I felt bad for the nurse who gets to make babies cry for a living, the only profession I can think of that is worse than that is a lawyer. Anywho, she now weighs in at 12 lbs 8oz and is a couple of inches taller. The funny thing is though that she is in the 70th percentile for weight but in the 40's for height and 39th for head size. I guess we have a short, small headed, chunky baby but she is an insanely cute short, small headed, chunky baby.
