I like weekends

Oh...I love those dimples! I have never been so excited for a weekend (ok, that's not true, most of my life I have looked forward to weekends). I got spoiled last night (due to my request of course) and Chadd took the night shift. So I slept from 9pm until 6am uinterrupted, unless you count waking up at 12midnight and 3am because I heard Christopher crying!

All dressed up in my monkey outfit

I'm all dressed up in my monkey outfit. We have a big day. At 10am we went to mommy's work and she had her annual review with her boss. It went well, it's pretty much the same thing every year. Then we are waiting to go check out a potential daycare center in Wyoming at 230pm when daddy gets home. Don't I look cute? I think I'll take a nap now!

Too cute for words

2 week checkup went well

Everything was great at Christopher's 2 week checkup. He's weighs 9 pounds 0.6 ounces! Big boy! He eats a lot, that's for sure. He goes back at 2 months to get shots. I stopped by the lab and visited with my coworkers after his appointment. It was fun to show Christopher to everyone. We stayed for almost an hour. Then we went back to the clinic at 330 so Ashly could get some vaccines as well. Gee, you would think if I was on maternity leave I wouldn't spend so much time at Fairview! Speaking of work, I got the full 12 weeks off! Yeah! I'm very excited. I don't have to go back to work until May 4. Very grateful for that time I can spend with Christopher.



Ashly had an orthodontist appointment yesterday, so the three of us made the trek to there together. Christopher did well and slept the whole time. I'm getting more used to the running around with him. It helps if I feel ok and rested. Yesterday I did not. When we got home, Ashly watched him from 430-730 so I could sleep. It's awesome to have Ashly around! Then Chadd came home and helped too. It's nice relief after being alone all day with him. Although, I'm cherishing every moment I get to spend with him!

A fun weekend

Just hanging out with daddy! I think they are becoming good buddies! Tummy time is fun. Christopher can move his head back and forth. I go to the other side and talk to him until he moves his head the other way to my voice. Other than that, he's kinda stuck. We had a great weekend, the four of us. We ventured out to Target. I wanted my first trip to the store with Christopher to have some reinforcements so I wanted Chadd along. It went well, I think I'll be able to handle it! I just have to time it right between feedings so he's content.

The 7th graders helped put on the church service today. Ashly's job was to sing with the band "Testify" that sings and plays all the songs up front. She did a good job. I went to watch and left Christopher and Chadd at home so Vicki, Ray, Cindy, Mike and the kids could stop by and see him on their way to ski. Ashly went with them...she sure does love to that skiing thing.

Ashly is a great big sister

Ashly is doing such a great job helping with Christopher. She loves to hold him and rock him and feed him. You are such a big help, Ashly - and a very important part of our family to be the big sister. Christopher is going to look up to you, Ashly - and be your little buddy for the rest of your life! I have two pretty great kids, huh!!!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa

Thank you so much mom and dad for coming to help. I really appreciate all you did for us. You allowed Chadd to focus on work and me to get some naps in! Thanks for all the meals you prepared, helping with laundry and cleaning, and helping give rides to the clinic and for Ashly. We all had so much fun spending time with you and we miss you a lot today! Thank you again for being there for us!
