Rock camping in Fruita on the way to Crested Butte

POPsicle is 40!!!

John turned 40 last week and we got to spend 5 days in Crested Butte, CO with some of our favorite people to celebrate!

Rock met lots of fun new friends, played in the mountains, and learned how to sit up (for about 5 sec stints).   Below are some photos from the weekend- more will be posted once we download them from our camera.

New sitting skills!

Happy and handsome in his pjs.  (Rock got up around 6 am each day so he got lots of quality mom time before everyone else woke up)

Meeting Cassie and matts chicken!

Angels

Baby rock was up at 5:30 this am!  Mom and Dad weren't quite ready to start their days so Rock got some cuddle time in their big bed after his breakfast.  Cuddle time turned into nap time for the boys.  They look so sweet and innocent when they sleep!

Father's Day!

Selfie while we waited for dad to get up.

Breakfast with dad

Aunt Abby and Uncle Steve!

A few months ago, I learned the best news ever. My uncle Steve accepted a slot in the accelerated nursing program at the U, so he and my aunt Abby were moving to Salt Lake City! They showed up in early May, late in the night, and camped out in our basement for a couple weeks until they found their own place (just a 2 minute stroller ride from my house!), so I've been able to spend lots of time with them. I love it! I sometimes get confused because my Aunt looks alot like my mom, except without the delicious food supply. My uncle Steve takes me out onto the porch with him alot so that I can check out the happenings in the neighborhood (specifically the pretty girls that jog by). He's very proud of himself because he has yet to change any of my sticky diapers, but I'm secretly saving an extra special one for him.  Auntie Abby sometimes takes me to daycare and picks me up when she's not working, and sometimes I just hang out with them at our house while my mom and dad go on adventures or errands.

Walking to school! (a bit overdressed, but my mom insisted)

Mommy, is it safe to hang out with this guy??!

Pretty girl, one o'clock!

I love Trader Joe's almost as much as my auntie does!

Beer me!

Love my coworkers!

Some of you know that there has been quite the baby boom among the therapists I work with.  Between last June and this August 14 babies will be born!  

It has created a wonderful support system.  I honestly don't know how I would have survived pregnancy or my return to work without my co-workers!  It is nice to be surrounded by people who understand how hard it is to go to work on 4-5 hours of sleep and are excited to share photos and stories of their kids.

We recently gathered for an afternoon in the park, below is a photo of those who wee able to attend.  We are missing 3 babies (and their parents) and our two pregnant therapists! 

Rock star

Rock rolled over for the first time (that his parents were around to see) yesterday!  I have to give some credit to his new tummy time mirror.  The little dude loves to stare at himself, which makes tummy time much more tolerable......and happened to lead to rolling tummy > back.  It is fun to watch him grow and discover his world! 

Keeping an eye on the most handsome baby in the room. 

Smiles for mom!
