Visits & Visitors

October brought visitors from near and far. Kevin's sister Donna made a trip from San Francisco and Kevin and I had our first date night while Donna spent some time with Leo.
Donna brought Leo a new toy, it's a dog that barks, pants and makes several exclamations (Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)

My parents made a Saturday visit from Twin Falls. We enjoyed an afternoon with them and then Kev had to make a trip to a Doc in the box after lunch because he had an allergic reaction to something he ate!
And I made a trip to Twin Falls. Leo finally got to meet his cousin Chloe and Aunt Lisa!

Leo enjoyed a bath at G. Emmie's and Pappa... he splashed his feet!

And he even got his usual warm towel wrap-up at the end!

Leo had some good "hanging" time... good stuff.

Leo's first camping trip

Before I went back to work we took our first family camping trip. We went along the Owyhee river, Kevin got in some fishing, Honda some swimming, Pixie time treading water, Leo and Mom enjoyed the fresh air!








And when we told Leo it was time to pack up and head home....

Updates!

Leo is officially 9 weeks old today! He went to the doc yesterday for his 2 month checkup. He is 23-3/4" long and weighs 12.6#, the doc's word was "textbook" growth. Leo also had is first round of immunizations and handled them like a champ!

Here is a photo montage update of the first 3 weeks in September.

Bath Time

We have it mastered!






All Clean and snuggled up... such a sweet boy!

Favorite places

One of Leo's favorite places is the changing table. Of course that is after the diaper change... He will coo and smile, look up at the fish mobile hanging above him and in general just be content. It is very sweet... check out the clip!

One Month

Last week Leo was officially one month old! He started smiling (not as a result of gas) coo-ing in new tones, and had a visit from both sets of Grandparents! He and I also made our first solo trip to the grocery store, it was a success.

JoAnn and Joe visited Tuesday and Wednesday before continuing their vacation in Jackson Hole & Yellowstone. Kevin and Joe made a fantastic sushi dinner - Joe is a natural roll maker! This was my first sushi dinner since pregnancy and I loved every bite!
And Mary and Steve came up for the weekend while Kevin was at his brother's bachelor party in Las Vegas. We enjoyed a trip to the Boise Downtown Saturday market with Robin and Sydney...
Also, on Saturday made a trip to BabysRUs to get Leo an activity mat, which he loves! And my Dad picked up Leo another Harley Davidson outfit from the Harley store...

My Dad and I took a nice long walk on Sunday morning while my Mom watched Leo - and cleaned the house. So helpful and very much appreciated! My parents headed back to Twin Falls Sunday afternoon and about an hour later I picked up Kevin from the airport.

Kevin's trip to Vegas was fun - gambling, poolside fun, dance clubs and cocktails - and in two weeks he'll be headed to Ohio for Ryan and Melanie's wedding!!! Sunday evening JoAnn and Joe returned from their trip. They had a great time, went rafting, took a Tram tour, and had an adventure in Yellowstone National Park. We enjoyed dinner together full of summer veggies, and they flew out Monday at noon.

3 Weeks

Leo is three weeks old! Wow. I say wow a lot these days... wow, I'm tired... wow, Leo is so precious... wow, the day has flown by... wow, another diaper change?... wow, were Kevin and I always this wiped out at 6:00pm... I could go on but you get the picture.



Took Leo for a weight check at the doc this week, he is now 8 lbs 8 oz - growing! New this week we introduced tummy time, which Leo seems to be ok with. We had a visit this week from Amy and her two sons David and Jack yesterday. It was a lot of fun and Leo will have to older playmates to run around and get into serious boy trouble with when he is old enough!


(This is a pic of Leo lounging on his changing table)

And while Leo was taking a nap I took the opportunity to get some things done. When I came to check on him, he had a snuggle partner... seriously folks this was not staged!


This however was somewhat staged... Pixie was checking out what Leo was up to and I had her lay down next to him. Leo look up at her and just stared, of course I had to grab my camera and snap a pic!
