Bike Night

As you can tell by Lee this is an old post. This was the very first bike night this year.

Monday night is bike night and it has also become our date night. I look forward to Mondays with my husband more then any other night of the week. Lee was so good the whole time we were there. He was happily passed around to lots of tough looking bikers but fell asleep as soon as he was put into my arms. That is until all the bikes revved up to leave, that is when he opened one eye to look around and then broke out in a huge smile. Boy are we in trouble!

Nightly walks

About 5 nights a week Jonathan and I load up the boy and go for a walk. This has become one of my favorite activities.

Rolling over

This is the surprised look on my son's face after his very first roll from back to tummy. Almost as soon as he rolled over he flipped himself back to his back. Then he was kind enough to do it again so that I could record it. If you go to youtube and search mandjowen you will find that video.

I'm not ready for my son to be mobile but I guess I don't have a choice =)

Hiking with the baby.

On Thursday Lee and I went for a hike with 2 other moms and babies. In total we had 3 moms, 3 babies and 4 dogs. We did the hike called mushroom rock up by Carbondale. It was my first hike since Lee was born. We hiked about 3 miles with lots of stops.

It was a great learning experience. Here is what I learned: make sure the binkie is on a leash or I'm going to be eating a lot of dirt. Lee needs a hat that fits or it will just spin and make him angry. Take at least 1 diaper because you know someone is going to poop. A hot baby = angry baby. Wet wipes are the greatest invention known to man. Hiking wears Momma out but not baby so don't expect a nap as soon as you're home.

Overall it was a great time and we will be doing it again next Thursday.

Happy Birthday Heidie!

Heidie's birthday was Sunday. We threw her a surprise party Saturday. It was a whole lot of fun blindfolding her and driving her around. Lee was a great help with stalling not only did he have to be changed 3 times before we could leave but he also forgot his bottle, then his pacifier. He was such a good baby. He was passed around all night and smiled beautifully whenever someone new held him. He stole the spotlight! I have such a great kid!

Flowers for Tata and Mimi

Here are flowers for 2 of the most important women ever. Thank you to both of you for being such great examples. I appreciate the love and support you have shown us. I am a a better mother because of what great mothers you have been. I love you and am so grateful that I have both of you.

I am going to add picture and a little caption and that is it. We will see how it goes. Oh and I love comments so the more encouragement from ya'll the better.
