GO BABY GO

long time, no post.... 

I have been wanting to update for a LONG time.  We have just been so busy and I feel that I have to get some other things done before I allow myself time for writing for my blog.

Jacy is now 8 weeks old.  She is awesome.  She is the best baby ever. In fact, sometimes she is a little too good.  She sleeps all night and it stresses me out. I set an alarm to get up with her but at 3am I have started to turn off the alarm without really waking up.  I should just quit worrying so much about her food intake.  She currently weighs 13.5 pounds.  She is super cute and happy all the time. I should just be thankful.

I love them

We have also gone out of town the past two weekends.  That means that I spend 2 days preparing to leave the house, we are gone for the weekend, and then I spend 2 days recovering from the trip. That means in the past two weeks we have had 1 day a week where we can relax and follow our typical routine. This has made for a busy and slightly insane mama.

We had a great time in St.Louis and Kansas City.  The past two weeks had lots of firsts for Jacy.

• She went to a Mexican restaurant - with no pants on. PARTAAAAY
• She went to Grandma and Grandpa Rowbottom's house.
• She met Deo and Grandpa James. She also met Aunt Kari and Uncle Dave.  Along with a bunch of cousins and friends. 
• She was very spoiled by her aunts.  She was held the ENTIRE weekend and I only changed her diaper in the middle of the night.  Her aunts REALLY love her. 
• She went to her first Royals game.  It was awesome.  She was such a good girl.  
• She saw fireworks for the first time.  It was a BIG HIT!!!  She was very wide eyed and didn't even jump.  She seemed to really love it.  We have already had some talks about how fire is not safe.
• She met a bunch of Josh's family members.  They threw her a welcome to the family party. It was very sweet.  She now has more clothes than we know what to do with!
• I am sure there are more but I can't think right now. 

She is a very loved little girl.

We are also preparing for a trip to Tennessee to see one of our good friends get married.  This will be an great time and we are excited to go. A 10 hour car ride with a 2 month old might be tricky.  I am planning on updating everyone after this experience. I am glad that we have done a few smaller trips before attempting a big one.  I have learned a lot about traveling with our new, larger family. Now I need a nap!!!

These guys get no love anymore. Poor pugs...
