Our trip to Albuquerque!!

We got back from Albuquerque yesterday. Moses was such a trooper. He slept the way there and back, for the most part, and when he was awake he would just play with his hands (his new favorite activity). He handled the lack of routine a lot better than I did, too! He was sleeping 8-9 hours at night pre-trip and now he is back to being a 3 hour man, but I'm sure that will change in the next week or so. We got to see so many of our friends and family, and yet there were so many we didn't get to visit with. We need weeks, not days, to catch up with everyone!! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us!

Here are several pictures!

Moses and Granny getting acquainted. I told him she needed those tubes, but neither of them seemed to pay any attention to me!!


Moses and Aunti B. She is a lifesaver. She helped me with bath time that night and even showed up early Wednesday morning to help us get loaded up and on the road. And, of course, she re-stocked my coffee supply. We love Auntie B.

Moses seemed to enjoy his bath time. I rigged "Grandpa's" sink with a towel and some Burt's Bee's and it was almost as good as being at home!!

Nap time with Nana.

Grandma Charlotte stopped by for a visit. She used to take care of ME when I was little!

This picture is just ridiculous. Grandma has her two babies: Barney and Moses.

Nana bought Mo some little rattles for his hands!

You have no idea how hard it was to get this picture!!

What trip would be complete without seeing the Wallace's?? Kate was sweet enough to get up early to see us off. Kai was sleeping :)

Last stop of the trip was to see the Macivor family!! Moses seemed pretty happy to be around a man again! He was pretty happy just hanging out with Duncan.

A few things...

...that I love about being Moses' Mama.

• Sometimes when he is nursing he gets distracted and looks up at me with a gummy grin. Then he gets back to business. He wrinkles up his nose and makes snorting noises until he is eating again. Cracks me up everytime!
• Watching Miah be Mo's Daddy. The other day Mo was staring into space, playing with his fingers and I asked Miah what he thought Moses was thinking about. Without skipping a beat he said, "Advanced physics." Umm...
• When I get Moses up from a nap I undo his swaddle and let him stretch and wake up slowly. His little arms barely go above his head when he stretches and he makes such a silly face. I must get this on video. I want to remember it forever.
• When Moses sneezes he lets out a big "Achoo!!" and then half the time he goes "WHOA!". SO silly!!

He's awake...more to come :)

Here goes nothin'!!

So, the girl who "fears" going to Bible study is headed to Albuquerque tomorrow. That's right, me, Mo and 3 hours of open road. I'm hoping if I leave early enough he will sleep through the trip....
Wish me luck! I hope to see some of you while we're in town. It's a short trip, we're heading home on Wednesday, but Grandma will be so thrilled. Pictures to come!!

Silly lips..

We had a "bit" of a diaper blow-out today that led to a midday bath.

C'mon Ma! What's the hold up?

Sometimes he is so cute I have to take a picture as we're heading out the door...

Too funny...

This picture was taken at a job site that Jeremiah is working on. I went to check out their progress a couple of days before Moses was born. Something about a HUGE pregnant woman wearing a hard hat that matches her outfit is just hilarious...

So close...
