Firsts

So we were a bit out of commission for a little while because the power cord to Wes' computer, where we store all of the pictures, basically burned itself out (literally went up in smoke) so now that we're back, here is a little catch up.


For Mother's Day Wes got me a Swiffer! This may not be too exciting for anyone else, but I HATE mopping the floors and we had to leave our old one in VA because we didn't have room for it, so I was pretty pleased to see that little ditty by my bed in the morning.

The best part of the day though was this great video that Wes made documenting my "mother" experiences so far. I'm posting it because I think it's great although I am well aware that there are more than a few unflattering pictures of me, but I'll get over it as long as everyone remembers I was way preggo. He's a sweet and thoughtful husband, he put it to a song that reminded me of our little "baby journey" when I first heard it, what a doll.




Haley also laughed for the first time on Mother's Day, I don't have a video but I have witnesses. That was one of the best gifts ever.

She also rolled over for the first time last week! That one I do have on video but it's on our video camera and I don't know how to get it off so until then, that's where it will stay and maybe we'll try to get her to do it again.

She also got her first cold, see picture.


She also just continued to look really really cute, see picture.


This is just because I think it's a little funny. Haley still gets swaddled when she sleeps and it's been pretty hot here in TX and being the thrifty kids that we are, we like to work off of fans as much as possible. Here is our attempt at the benefits of the swaddle without being covered in a blanket. Kind of does the trick even if it does look like a punishment.
