I Took My Baby Home

it's official i am a stay at home mom.
here are some reasons why:

- i wear the same shirt all week, even though its covered in spit and puke
- i talk in a voice that is 3 octaves to high, and everything has a rhyme (one of my favorites being "ready spaghetti" and "don't be a saddish radish"
- i regularly don't brush my teeth till 11 am
-i take early morning walks and wear ankle weights

Colorado Bound

Peter caught himself a baby bear cub in Colorado.

No its a baby.
However, this baby got really good at playing dead in her bear
suit just in case of a real bear attack.

Wolf Creek Pass with Grandma and Aunt Lynda,
and hiking the falls with dad.

Peter aka "Rock Pushing Pete" really got the job done out at Nanny's burial site. The cemetery was beautiful and very rustic. Once it was all said and done, everyone was really proud of how it looked, especially Papa. Scout is already developing a love of the woods like her parents.

The bakery in Pagosa Springs is definitely something to write home about. This, of course, is made obvious by Peter's strange expression in this picture with his breakfast sandwich.

Needless to say, after our trip, Peter and I have decided to become snowbirds by the time he turns 35 and own some property somewhere in Colorado.

At the end of the day Scout quickly fell asleep with her old friend Jem.

Lawdy, Miss Clawdy

I never thought I would be the one to post tons of baby photos. I thought I would have tons of other things to post blogs about I thought I was more
interesting than that....but I'm not.

How can you not post photos when your baby makes faces like this.

Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?

Im an inexperienced mom i know but i felt terrible today at the mall when i had to wrap my baby up like this...

because underneath she looked like this.

I just thought i would check if she needed a diaper change there was a pea green poo explosion everywhere all over her clothes...everywhere. I felt so bad, we walked around the mall like this until we could find some new clothes.

Thankfully not too many people noticed.

Swimming Song

Happy 4th of July! Check out this girl swim. Scout is really upset she has to miss the girls trip to Mexico next weekend now that she has a killer summer beach bod. That unsightly umbilical cord was really getting in the way of her rockin' a bikini this summer.

Wes and Peter got really ambitious and made fried chicken and hot wings, I can't think of anything more patriotic.

Just my milk drunk baby.

Sleep Late, My Lady Friend

i thought people were kidding when they said all babies do is sleep and eat and surprisingly scout is sticking to the mold (for now anyway).

scout getting her nails cut by one of my seasoned sisters, i thought i might cut off her fingers. summer you did a fine job.

everyone loves a baby. it's nice having so many people around to take care of my baby. i'm pretty sure will likes her the most, finally someone smaller than him.

here is one of my favorite pictures, showing off the fact that scout is already papa pete's little girl.
we are so glad she is here.
we love you scoonts!

Scout-a-rama

After 15 hours off laboring our stubborn girl decided she was too tired to finish what she started so the doctors had to take her c-section. Just like her mom she had the cord wrapped around her neck. She hung in there like a champ and we ended up with a beautiful baby.

8 lbs 6 oz and 22 inches long, I was shocked. We are still trying to figure out where all of her features come from. She has her dads furrowed brow and her moms chin, but beyond that we can't decide.

Grandma Dee was first to meet Scout this morning and Scout was so wide awake and happy. The girl keeps her eyes open the whole time she is awake, such a mature baby.
