Happy Baby

We have nothing new to blog about so We thought we would share the most recent Pictures of our Baby D! Other than Both of us back to work full time, Dorian going to day care every day, nothing exciting happening in Alamogordo New Mexico!

Halloween is coming up so we will have more to blog about then! Dorian has her costume and is ready to show it off for you all!!

This is Dorian Watching Baby Einstein...We watch the Mozart and Bach one every night before she gets a bath...she really loves the music and colors! I'm not sure if she can actually see what is on the screen yet, but it keeps her attention for the full 27 minutes, so I'm assuming she likes it!

This is our Baby D getting all bundled up to go to Day Care! I thought she looked really cute in a hat, and she is always super happy at 6am, so prime time photo opportunities for me in the mornings! ha ha ha

But it is getting cold here in the mornings, so it was time to break out the hats, booties, and gloves! So more really cute pictures to come!

She is 11 weeks in all of these pictures! Getting soooo BIG! Dorian just had her 2 month appointment checkup last week and weighs in at 13 lbs and 2 oz's! She is 24inches long and is in the 97th percentile for both height and weight! Doctor says she is doing real well! She can hold her head up on her own and has learned to talk ALOT! We can't wait for everyone to see her again!

Dorian Meets her Family

A couple weeks after Dorian was born both our family's (not at the same time) flew down to New Mexico to meet the newest memeber to our family!


First my parents came! My grandmother, mom, and sister all came to see Baby D! We had a great time! My mom was a little bit of a baby hog, ha ha ha, but she occasionally let my sister and grandma hold her! We spent the week sitting by the pool relaxing, shopping at the exchange on base, touring white sands desert, and cooking food, drinking wine, and relaxing! My mom gave Dorian her first bath in the sink, and my grandma held her to keep her warm! It was great having them all here to help and support us with our new family! We love and miss you! Can't wait to see you all at Christmas!

A couple weeks later Niles' mother and father came to see us!!! So we knew more fun was to be had! They couldn't take their eyes off of her! We spent the week eating authentic Mexican food, jumping sand dunes, driving through the mountains, and taking long walks and playing cards! Niles' mom rocked Dorian to sleep and sang her songs while grandpa made her smile all of the time! It was truly a blessing to have you in our home! I can't wait to have you back again!

I'm so glad Dorian got to meet her family!!! I am so happy you are all apart of her and our lives!! We love you!!!

Oktoberfest Weekend!

Last week Niles and I's best friends flew from PA to see us in New Mexico!  We hadn't seen them since Easter, so we were super anxious to see them!!!  Summer and I have been best friends since the fourth grade and Niles and Derek have been best friends since grade school!!!  I can't remember a time that Summer and I were not there for each other or doing something wacky and off the wall!! We took dance together and cheerleading, and helped each other through our life crisis' in college! So when I moved across the US to New Mexico I was completely lost with out her!  I'm sure Niles felt the same when he had to leave Derek!  They went to Highschool together and even went to College in the same town of Wiliamsport! And they truly did everything together (that is how I met niles in the first place, was through derek!)Finally, they both got some time off work to come see us, and just so happened to be on the same weekend!  It worked out great!  We all got to go to Oktoberfest together!  Oktoberfest is the German celebration, and since the Germans share our military base in NM they specially ship in food and beer for all to enjoy!  It was definitly and experience, truly a piece of their culture!  We took summer and derek to white sands desert to see the sand dunes and sun set over the sand/mountians and they got to see their little niece Dorian!  Truley a wonderful time we had when they were here!  Such a great time that it was almost impossible to take them to the airport and see them leave!! It meant to much to us that you both came to new mexico!!! Words can't describe how much we miss you and can't wait to see you both again!! Thank you again for coming and staying with us in our sand box! We love you both!!

My Trip to Florida!

Last week Dorian and I made the semi-long flight to Florida to see Aunt Renee and Uncle Steve, Uncle Brian, Poppop, Cousins Ben, Kyle and Will! We had lots of fun and were so super sad to leave at the end of the week!

We got to see Uncle Steve's new/used jeep! We went for ice cream with kyle on his special day with mommy~we got to go to the beach and see water, waves, sea shells, and Renee learn to surf on her new board! We played baseball, and went to the park!

We miss everyone already soooooooo much and can't wait to see everyone again for Christmas! Here are some of the memories from the past week that I captured! Pictures can only say so much, but our time in Florida was a memorable and heart-warming trip I will cherish forever! Thank you Aunt Renee and Uncle Steve for having us! We love you all!
