Family Time

This last week I spent some time with my totally awesome sister-in-laws. We went to Thanksgiving Point for their two dollar Tuesday, and it was SO crowded... we ended up spending all our time at the petting zoo.

Porscha finally decided to wake up when we went on the wagon ride. Here she is with her Aunt Lily.


She doesn't look too excited about this wagon ride, but since it was free we just had to do it.


Lily got the camera and had a photo shoot with Porscha in her car seat. She is such a fun baby!


And here we are with Aunt Mercedes, Cousin Gabe, and one of the animals at the petting zoo. She wasn't too excited about that cow... it went to lick her but I got my arm in the way just in time. I can't say the same for Gabe; he got licked on the face... twice :)


Here is Porscha chillin with her dad. She loves to spend time with him!


She has discovered her hands! I am so happy that she has found them, but they seem to always be in her mouth... I tell her several times a day that the binki goes in the mouth, not the hand (wouldn't it be nice if she could understand?)

August 2009

So many things have happened this week. On Sunday Matt blessed our baby. It was a beautiful blessing and we had a great time sharing the experience with our friends and family. Her dress was made by Matt's mom and Porscha looked beautiful in it.



We also went camping this week, which was a totally different experience than camping without a baby. We had a great time and hopefully we'll be able to do it again!


Porscha was 23 inches long in this picture... that's a really big leaf.


Here we are by the creek that ran next to our campsite. She kept staring at the leaves.


She loved that stick. Matt got it for her on one of their nature walks. She had a hard time just sitting at the campsite and so we would have to get up every so often and walk around with her. It made eating together difficult.


Here she is staring at the camp fire we made. She was like that for the longest time. So it turns out that fire entertains her... if only we had known this sooner :)

Life as a mom

Our little girl keeps me busy all day long... and then into the night. She is so much fun and I love being her mom! Thankfully she is still happy and healthy.


One of her favorite things to do is, of course, sleep. It amazes me how she can sleep anywhere; if only I could do that.


Her other favorite thing is taking a bath. It will be even more fun when she is old enough to play with her bath toys, but until then I have fun playing with them for her :)
