First Month of Baby Time

Here are some photos of Win's first month of life. We had tons of help the first few weeks which helped SO much. Mostly helped with entertaining Poppy. I'm so grateful for great family and friends who help out and make life a little easier!

A few days after he was born my sister Emily and her cutie little boy Ferris came out along with my sister Kim. Reyn was out of town for over a week when he was first born so that really came in handy. The day they left Reyns mom Jill flew in and helped out for a week. So much fun having her. A week later my mom came in for a week with a broken femur and all. She couldn't get out much so I just used her as a sitter so I could get out with just Poppy or go out with Reyn. Yes!

The first photo is of Win at 3 weeks old at the Bronx Zoo. You may be asking yourself why I would take a 3 week old baby to a crowded zoo? I was asking myself the same thing. He's still alive so that's a good sign right?

Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween we stayed at a friends house in San Diego for the night. Poppy had picked out her costume a couple weeks before. She got a Woody costume. Picked it out all by herself. Walked down the isles of the Halloween store pointing at costumes saying, "Hmmm, No. Hmmm, N0." Then she saw Woody and said, "WOODY!"

The day of Halloween came and she had missed her nap because we were crossing the boarder. So, she was a little on edge to say the least. In the end, she didn' want to wear her costume so she became a bag lady. Pushing around a play grocery cart with all her junk in it. Couldn't have been better. She was pushing that thing around like a crazy person. Almost ramming people. The best part is she would "park" her cart at the end of the drive way and then walk up to the door, try and take about 4 or 5 candy bars and then strut her stuff back to her junk.

The only bummer part about halloween is the parents are the ones who end up eating all the candy. Well, I do anyway...

We ended up leaving half the candy and the plastic pumpkin at a hotel for the maid. Enjoy.

Disney Land

Mexico 2011

We took our annual Mexico trip to the Soffe's beach house in October. It was a much needed vacay since we couldn't really travel anywhere in the summer with baby coming. We had a blast and also blessed baby Win on the beach while there. My parents and brother and Girlfriend came to join in on the fun. We flew into LA, then rented a car and drove 3 hours down. Well, suppose to be 3 hours that turned into 6 hours with a few stops including trying to calm a screaming baby in a parking lot for an hour. The whole car seat thing is foreign to us. You mean you can't just pull the baby out while driving and sooth?? Darn.

We spent week and half in Mexico, Halloween in San Diego, and made a stop at Disney Land the day before we flew out. So fun. It was crazy seeing Disney Land as an adult and watching Poppy light up. The best. Having a new born at Disney Land with a cold, not sure if that was the best idea... but it all worked out. He did great. Here is a million photos of our trip. Sorry. I haven't even added the Disney Land photos yet. More to come. I'm bad at editing....

Uncle Bri Bri Our Friend Traci stopped in for a couple days.

I finally dumped all my iPhone pictures onto my computer. Here are a bunch from the past few months.

I took Poppy to the Zoo right before baby was born.

I Obviously was spoiling her because I was feeling guilty about having another baby We painted Poppy's room right before baby came This was taken of us at Shake Shack just hours before I went into Labor. Our last shot of just the two of us. That day we were running around all over the place. To the park, to lunch, grocery shopping, etc. Kicked Win right out of my belly. Day he was born. Just chillin. Poppy came to visit at the hospital. She did so great with the transition. Loves her brother so much. We lucked out. 1 week old First bath Missed her nap one day and this is what happened. At 5PM. Pretending to sleep in the Balls Heading to LA
