Happy Times
A has two very happy times during the day....right at
7am and again around 5pm.....otherwise she tends to spend her days sleeping, eating, and trying to get someone to entertain her.

The Science of Folding........
I can't help but laugh every time E changes a diaper of A's......the diaper is so perfectly folded at the end - like a gift perhaps....ready for disposal.
I guess that is a sign of diaper changing perfection that comes with changing more than 300 diapers since A came into our lives.

Pants too TIGHT?
You wouldn't know it from the picture....but I've had quite a fussy day....My Mom finally realized why....these darn jeans were too tight for my ever growing belly....Mom and Dad said they know what that's like!!!

How to Get a Sunday Morning Bath!
1. Don't have a bowel movement for over a day.
2. Blow out your bottoms -
3. Cry until your parents pick you up....cause they don't know why you are crying.
4. Let your Dad discover for himself that your entire back side is wet...all the way through to your PJ's.
5. Bath time achieved.

Yummy!?
If you take note of my bottom it says YUMMY! My parents don't seem to think my bottom is very YUMMY at times!
Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day...I got this great outfit from my Grandpa E yesterday and it already fits! Mom says I am growing like a weed...cause this is a 3/6 month outfit and I'm only 5 1/2 weeks old.

Play Time
A is just starting to enjoying this play mat. We thought it was a good change from the ceiling fan she loves!

So Warm I could.......
Once she is warm again and dried off...she tends to relax...so much so that she just pee's right through the clean towel.
Bath Time
A has come to really enjoy bath time - with 2 exceptions. 1 - getting her faced washed. 2- getting out!

Bed of Choice
A has decided that this is her bed of choice....at this point we'll take it if it means we get even a few hours of shut eye!
Sleepy
Sleep days....sleepless nights! A has decided that this is the order she prefers much to her parents dislike!

Happy
A is flashing more signs of a personality everyday. Although her most consistent expression is that of deep thought, she displays a smile on occasion. One thing is for sure, she is quite curious. Her eyes are constantly scanning her surroundings. Even-though she is starting to respond to voices and her name, it is usually just a quick glance before continuing to take in her surroundings.
Stripes
This is one of A's favorite outfits (read that as "her parents favorite outfits") and we think she looks mighty cute in it.
Telling It Like It Is
As many new parents know, A's shirt tells the truth and nothing but the truth! Sleep is a precious commodity for the parents of a newborn...especially the mother. We wait in anticipation for one blessed event...a full nights rest!

Passed Out
This was dad's feeble attempt to burp A. This seemed to be the order for the day...sleep. Let's just hope the trend continues through the night!

No More Photos
This is the reaction I got when continuing to take pictures of A. Apparently she's had enough!

Familiar Expression
This is an expression that A's cousin O used to make when he was an infant. Must run in the family!
Ride Home
Who couldn't love this face??? This was the reaction we got on our second attempt to put her in her car seat. Let's just say the first attempt wasn't as cute.
Our Favorite Time
When A wakes up from her nap this is what we see. She will make funny faces and show us the first glimpses of what her facial expressions will be. We have come to enjoy this time of peaceful bliss.

Daddy's Hairline
A came out with a partial head of hair!! Although the color is different, she shares her fathers hairline...poor kid! Let's just hope that hers will fill in, unlike her Dads!
Hours Old
Everyone, say "Hello" to A! She, mom and dad are doing great! Here A is a few hours old and preparing for her first bath. Mom and Dad couldn't be prouder of their new daughter. Grandma and Grandpa D have been fully won over! More to come...

Mug Shot
Thankfully, this is a good mug shot. I am relieved and thankful that the PE has been passed and I never have to take that dreadful test again! I owe a good deal to S who banished me to the babies room to study some nights and weekends!

Post-Christmas
Call us Scrooges, but since the weather was sooo nice (mid to upper 60's) we decided to take down all of our Christmas decorations. Everything has been packed away for its eleven month rest. We do this hoping that the baby comes next week!

I'm Dreaming of a White...Halloween??
This is what we woke up to this morning. Here it was only 1-2", but north of us and in the upper elevations of the hills they saw a bit more. The schools in Spearfish and Belle Fourche (~50 miles away) were closed today. Unfortunately for S, Rapid City schools were open and on-time.

It's Done!
Tuesday night we finished up the nursery! The hours of hard work paid off and both of us are happy with the outcome. S is quite the decorator, E is the manual labor! Thankfully the decorator does a great job and is happy with the result, so the manual labor doesn't have to do anymore!

Fall Foliage
Today we drove into the Spearfish Canyon to enjoy the colors that were at their peak. The cool tempatures over the past week have provided a gorgeous scenery, signaling the start of our fall season.
The Green Room + PINK
Let Phase II begin. E the trooper he is....is still painting! The tedious pink stripe around the room has begun.

The Green Room
Phase I of the nursery is complete. Much to the relief of E there will not be any stenciling. More to come.....

New Wheels
The reality that a new family member will be arriving before we know it was reinforced by the new set of wheels we now have! Monday evening was spent assembling our daughters new chariot...er stroller and marveling at the features and superb engineering. Maybe just E on that last part.
On a related note, today the much anticipated bedding arrived for the crib. That means one thing...E will be painting this weekend. In order to make sure E wasn't caught off guard, S made sure to mention that stenciling may be involved. Of course, it is all worth it!

It's A Girl!!
Yesterday we learned that we are going to be the parents of a little baby girl!! As you can imagine we are both excited and happy that everything is progressing nicely and the baby is healthy. It is amazing to see the ultrasound and look at the babies development.
S is happy because she gets to keep and use the cute girl clothes she bought. I couldn't keep the smile off of my face yesterday! Yesterday was also S's birthday...what a birthday present!

Bundle of Joy
In an attempt to downsize our office to make room for the nursery, we decided to buy a computer that would fit better in with the guest bed. I am sure that many of my friends will be shocked to look and see that it is a MAC! Now that we have it and are getting used to how it operates, we are quite happy with our decision.
I'm just worried that I'll want to buy a VW Bug next. The little Apple sticker we got just doesn't look right in the rear window of a Nissan Sentra.

Finished Product
Last weekend we finally finished shoveling rock...all 8 cubic yards of it. Unfortunately, we are about 5-10 shovels full short in the front yard island. We made sure the bare part is on the house side so no one would ever know.
Now we are satisfied with what we accomplished for this summer season and are ready to relax and enjoy the yard!
