Seattle Bound!

This morning we headed off to Seattle! It was your first airplane ride and you did great. Mommy, Grandma Terri and you headed from ONT to OAK and you slept the whole way. Once we got to Oakland we had to switch planes and we were back up in the air. This time you didnt sleep but we were able to entertain you and keep you happy the entire flight.

Once we got our luggage, Grandma's cousin Marta came to pick us up from the airport. We went back to her house and had a wondeful lunch with homemade soup and some of the best bread I ever had! After we rested and ate we headed out into Seattle, dispite the rain we had a excellent time! We drove through Fremont and saw some funky and electic pieces of art. We stopped and braved the weather at the locks and fish ladder, no fish this time of year :( We drove through several other great sites including Univeristy of Washington and Gas Works park. I would love to take pictures of you there, next time we are up and the weather is good! We came back to Marta and Randi's house for a yummy dinner and an early night, we were tired from all of our travels.

Your 1st day at the park

The weather was so nice today! Ms. Nancy took you guys to the park and you got to go on a swing for the first time.She sent me a picture on my phone, I was happy you were having such a good time but sad because I was at work and missing it!

When Daddy changed you this morning before he left for work he forgot to snap your outfit together before he put your pants on, so he snapped it over your pants. You looked so funny, it looked like you were ready for gymnastics! It takes a lot for me to laugh at 5:30 in the morning and this did it.

Neighborhood Watch Meeting

Tonight we hosted a neighborhood watch meeting. We had 9 households come to talk about neighborhood watch. Plus it was a good excuse to get the house clean! It was nice to have everyone over and we enjoyed a nice fire (from Daddy) and some yummy brownies (from Nancy).

1st time in a high chair

You are so strong Genevieve and sitting up so well we tried out your high chair tonight for the first time. You looked so cute sitting in your chair. You were so happy to be sitting at the table with us while we ate dinner. Even though it means your not little any more it was fun to see you in your high chair. I was thinking about how much fun you and me will have exploring solid foods and eating together as you sit in your chair. For the first time I wasn't sad anymore that you weren't little and excited about you growing bigger. Baby steps for mommy....

Ms. Nancy sent me this picture of you today when I was at work. You are having a good time playing with your friend! I love the smile on your face, it looks like you are having so much fun!! Her text said "They are playing really well together. Hope your having a nice day" I love photos of you during the day, makes my work day go by so much faster!

How do you break out?!?!?

Genevieve I have no idea how you manage to break out of your wrap. You are velcroed in but somehow you manage to twist and slide your arm right out of the wrap. Then you start waving it around, end up hitting yourself in the face and wake yourself up! What a silly little baby...

The importance of nursing...

One of my favorite quotes I came across on Facebook: 

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution."~Christine Northrup M.D.

 This one came on my MilkMaid Tea from Earth Mama Angel Baby

"I look down into your eyes and feel you tugging at my breast but it feels like you're tugging at my heart"
