Almost 2 months!

Hi All,
It's already the end of August so I knew I needed to get an update and some more pictures out there. We had another great month...I can't believe I have to go back to work in just 4 weeks! So Lidia continues to surprise and amaze us! She is sleeping around 6 hours from around Midnight to 6 am and last night she slept 8 hours!!! It's been great...I'm sure I am cursing any future nights sleep. She loves to be swaddled and put in her swing and we love that we can get some decent sleep most nights. She is smiling up a storm...more for daddy than me and we are waiting on a giggle. Occasionally she will "laugh" in her sleep....we hope these are very happy dreams and sometime soon she will do it while awake.

This month has been a busy one. Lidia and I have started baby yoga with Camilla and Oliver, we love getting out and learning a few things to help her stretch. And I don't mind if it helps me continue shedding those pesky extra baby pounds! Amy Landry and the kids came in town for a week and we went to the pool and the zoo. Lidia decided she was too cool to get wet...so she chilled in her stroller while others enjoyed the water.


This was Lidia's second trip to the zoo...although this is how she looked most of the time we were there:


Here is another set of pictures Scott took I hope you enjoy them...they make me laugh!

Family Trip

Hi all! We successfully made it to and from the family vacation at Boyne Mountain. Oh what a trip it was! Scott was inventive and downloaded a MP3 of a vaccum cleaner running and bought a speaker...this helped soothe Lidia most of the way there and back, at night, in her stroller and pretty much any other time she needed it the entire weekend! It was great!
The weekend was full of firsts for Lidia...first time at the beach, in a bikini, dipping her toes in the lake. She even attended her first Kid Rock Concert! Ok so she didn't have a ticket, and well neither did we or anyone else in our family...but the concert was about 100 yards or so from our condo, so we were able to hear it without trying too hard. We actually sat behind the stage and listened for a while. Some of the more daring family members went up the hill and listend from above. It was quite a weekend! We even got to see Joel, Jennifer and Caitlyn for dinner. Caitlyn convinced Scott to ride the chair lift with her and to dance.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
