Back to Work

I have started back at work. Gen has started Day care. Both are going quite well. Gen sleeps a lot of the day during Day Care, but she is little so that is to be expected. I am enjoying being back at work, but still trying to figure out the new schedule. Below are the latest pics and one old one I forgot to include earlier.

The Proud Papa in the Operating Room

Of course I had to introduce the overalls early

Wow, her eyes are really blue here!

We went to a wedding last weekend, great opportunity for a family pic.

Just chillin' in the crib

Got my Wubanub!Gen's eyes get so wide when she is standing.

Trip

Well we never made it to South Carolina due to a mix up with our tickets through Travelocity. We were at least able to salvage part of our trip and get down to Tampa. Here are the pics.

She did great on the plane!

It's funny how Gen likes to hold on the the straps of her carseat like they are overalls.

She loves to stand. We only provide balance.

On to South Carolina and Florida!

We are looking forward to our little jaunt to S. Carolina and Florida this upcoming weekend. It should be crazy busy and just crazy since we will be traveling with our little one for the first time. In other news Chad and I have started laying Genevieve down to sleep in her crib and so far we have had some success with this (keep your fingers crossed) and I have had two nights in a row of 6 hours of sleep. Woo hoo! I was getting a little stressed out over things and what we should and shouldn't do. Chad finally told me, "Dixie, step away from the books!" Genevieve has started grunting and cooing as well as smiling which makes for some great pics. Below you will find some of my favorite pics of Genevieve.

Shhhhh Don't wake the baby (or Genevieve)

The Fourth Of July

OK so I know I said I would blog my birth story but I am still waiting for my follow up meeting with my Doula. I am wanting Chad and her to recount the events because I don't remember the timeline for everything. We had lots of fun at John and Debbie Francis' house at Lake Tapps for the 4th of July. Here are some pics from the event.
