The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

We visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum today. Phil's knee is still hurting him a lot, so he had to use a wheelchair! The museum was awesome, we all had a great time ... but Jennifer slept through the whole thing!


Going down the stairs instead of the ramp ... of course!

Our weekend...

We all had a great weekend with Jennifer's Great Grandpa visiting!

Great Grandpa

Jennifer's great grandpa is visiting this week ... she's having lots of fun with him so far!

Our new camera!

We haven't had much of a chance to play around with it yet, but I love it already!

10 days 'til Halloween

Jennifer woke up in such a good mood this morning, I decided to take a few pics in her kitty ears and cute jack-o-lantern pants for Halloween!

First Giggle!

On Sunday, Jennifer giggled for the first time (while she was awake)!! It was so cute, Phil and I couldn't believe it! She has been giggling in her sleep since she was born, but Sunday was the first time we've heard her giggle while she was awake. It was so cute I had to take some pictures to document!
Another big milestone we noticed just yesterday was that she has started reaching out for objects. She was reaching out and grabbing at one of the toys on her swing! And, even though it was on accident, she reached up and spun the little ball that hangs down from her Rainforest Gym and made the music play! Phil and I were so impressed, she's a genious! : )

Buckelew Farms Pumpkin Patch

We went with some friends to the Buckelew Farms Pumpkin Patch this afternoon. We had a great time, even if it wasn't the east coast style trip to the pumpkin patch that I was expecting. I wanted us all to dress cute to take a family picture, but it was so hot that I ended up having to take Jennifer's overalls off and just let her wear a onesie... I can't wait to be back on the east coast where the weather gets cool and the leaves change color! This pumpkin patch was in the middle of the desert! (Yes, Nana and Gramma, she's wearing SPF 50!)

Visiting Daddy at work

Phil's shop (he works on aircraft electronics) had a cookout on Friday and Jennifer had lots of fun getting to visit Daddy at work! I, of course, had a lot of fun showing her off : )

Sundays

Sundays are Jennifer's mornings with Daddy! She gets up around 7 and she and Phil go to our favorite coffee shop, Crave, and bring home coffee and breakfast. Then they start watching football ... that's usually where Jennifer falls back to sleep!

2 months old today!

Phil and I can't believe Jennifer is already 2 months old! Her personality shows through more and more everyday, she is such a smiley chatterbox and really enjoys her bathtime!

Playtime!

Jennifer has been getting really active! She likes playing on the floor with some of her toys. I lay her on my yoga mat with a blanket and it's perfect on our tile floor. She's getting better and better at holding her head up while she's on her tummy!



I tried to keep her from becoming a passie baby, but she fought me and won ... she loves her passie!

She played so hard that she fell asleep!

Our First Playdate!

We had our first playdate with Curtis and Christian! Jennifer fell asleep at first, but once she woke up she couldn't take her eyes off of Curtis - he entertained her the whole time!



Jennifer also enjoyed "chatting" with Christian. He's 6 months old and they were gabbing it up!

Home Remedies

No more home remedies any time soon! I read in What to Expect the First Year that a little Vaseline rubbed onto a baby's scalp gets rid of cradle cap... it's also extremely hard to wash out! Vaseline was stuck in Jennifer's hair and it took me no less than 45 minutes to wash out, and I had to use Ivory dish soap!
