tummy time, not too crazy about this!

Maybe not so bad for a minute!

Let's Play!!!!

LP goes to AZ!

Our family flew to Arizona last week for a week in the sun! We flew in on Superbowl Sunday, met up with our friends and had a great night watching the game. LP was great on the flight there, but was fussy on the way home. Also, on the way there, delta lost all our luggage...but this time we actually had our carseat, so we were able to leave the airport without waiting for a new carseat. Ralph had to work most the week, so LP and I had some good bonding time!


We went on a tour of Taliesin west, Frank Lloyd Wright school of Architecture in Scottsdale, AZ.

What an amazing place!



We took LP to the Phoenix Zoo with our friends Steve and Nichole and their 2 boys, Josh and Jake

mommy, daddy and Michael

Could be a post card!

Jake

a little chilly in the morning!

The Carbajal's! Jake, Nichole, Josh and Steve

Both so cute!


We hiked Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale- Took about 2 hours round trip! Our first hike with LP, we definitely needed the fresh air, warm sun and exercise!

View from the midpoint!

LP is quite the little traveler...oh, where will we go next?????

New pics of our little guy

Jill from a nearby photo studio came over and took some professional pics of Michael and us. He was about 8 weeks old. We had a great time!

Finally got this to upload!!!

3 month check-up

Today was Michael's 3 month check up! He now weighs 12 lbs, 3 oz and is 24 in long. Everything checked out! He only got one shot today, cried a little, then fell asleep...which I was so happy for, as I forgot to bring his bottle...Oops!
This past week, little pea has been sleeping like a champ. This is the 6th night he has fallen asleep between 8-8:30 and slept thru to 7-8:00 ish. Every night he has only gotten up once to eat about 4-5am, for about 20 minutes. I finally have my routine down with all the bottles ready for when he stirs! My goal is 7pm-7am without waking up, so we will see if I can get there!
He is cooing a lot and yesterday we transferred a ring from the right hand to the left hand...although he didn't realize he did it, it was still cool to see. He is just growing and growing, and things are changing faster and faster.

Getting ready to see Dr. Desanto!

I love playing with my hands!

finding daddy's face

oh, so sweet! (and prickly)

Playing!!!

Today was a great day! LP slept a total of 11 hours last night...with 1/2 hour of feeding at 5:30am! He woke up this morning at 9am smiling and so happy.. It started snowing early, so daddy got packed and headed to the airport, en route to Houston, TX and mommy dropped LP off at grandma's and went to the gym! Michael took a 4 hour nap, 3-7pm, and he just fell asleep again.. I am a little nervous for tonight, maybe I should wake him....

Anyway, today was the first day he reached out for a toy, grabbed it and brought it to his mouth, it was a yellow ring, he didn't quite know what to make of it, he was cute...

Ralph and I have decided to go to Phoenix, AZ next week. Ralph will be working, so LP and I will relax in the sun (hopefully it will be sunny and warm). We have good friends there, Steve and Nichole, who we have not seen in a while, so we are really looking forward to this little trip...hopefully he will be good on the plane again!

little Michael in his crib with all his stuffed animals, so sweet! He LOVES his musical mobile!

I tried to upload 2 videos...but I couldn't figure it out, they are cute, I am going to keep working on it!
