First Halloween!

For Halloween we went over to our good friends the Carmacks and went around on our very first trick-or-treat walk in the stroller. Since we live in a retirement community with no other children we have to go to a kid neighborhood for such holidays. We all had a great time and Genevieve enjoyed some much needed socialization as did I. She was so cute with her skinny little legs in her striped tights! And the frogs won convincingly so a good day had by all. The last picture is with the Carmack kids Ayden (princess Leah) and Bennett (puppy). Shonn is extremely vigilant about grass upkeep and the grass was amazingly green! Hard to tell in the twilight, but it was almost like a carpet. I seriously need to invest in a better camera.

What We Have Been Up To

I realize it has been forever since I posted anything, but such is motherhood. I usually don't even find time to sleep. But, here a few pics from the last few weeks. Genevieve is growing steadily I think and survived her first round of shots. More of those to come unfortunately. Enjoy! I will post some more hopefully in the next few days:)

Visit from Aunt Mary who is a natural with babies.

Playing dress up with Aunt Mary and Aunt Kathy.

Awww, she looks so cute! Too bad she had a huge blowout all over her outfit about 20 minutes later:(

A visit with Uncle Bud. We stopped in Amarillo for 2 nights on our way to Colorado Springs and spent a day at Helen and Bud's. Genevieve loved to look at Uncle Bud.

Visiting with Aunt Helen.

Genevieve's new hat! Thanks to Mary and Gary England:)

Sleeping in at the Broadmoor. This is what the Broadmoor does to people.

Pretty scenery by the lake at the Broadmoor. We came here for my birthday and our anniversary. As you can see Genevieve is more interested in sleeping:)

Sweet hubby. I finally pried him out of his Broadmoor lair for a walk around the lake.

Beautiful September weather.

Update

Here are some recent pics of the little girl. She just started smiling the last 2 weeks which is adorable. She especially thinks her daddy is amusing. She went on a 10 hour car ride to Colorado with us and did great the whole week. She had her 2 month check up the other day and she is in the 97th percentile in height and 25th percentile in weight. But overall a healthy baby. We are enjoying our extended hours of sleep too. Starting to feel normal again!

Photoshoot with Daddy

Here are some pics from a photoshoot Alex had when Genevieve was about 9 days old. These are some of my favorites. What a handsome daddy and a sweet little girl!

Newby Pics

Here are some professional pictures we had made when she was 6 days old. The photographer came to the house and spent a few hours getting some great shots. Enjoy!

Faces

This is Morty the Moose her favorite toy right now. He is from Quebec, Canada and likes to sing New York New York and dance. She thinks he's pretty funny sometimes.

Cutest baby ever!

This is almost like baby fish mouth, but not quite. It is a pretty funny one though!

Miss squinchy face.

Giving the gangster chin to daddy, what up?

Spa

So here's our little princess. We have started giving her a bath and feeding her really well right before we put her down for the night so hopefully she will sleep for a long time and we can too! For some reason she is always really awake between 12 and 2 am and then when we put her down in her bed she fights sleep like crazy. Well tonight at her bath Alex was pouring water over her and she was just lounging and relaxing in her tub so quietly. She probably took at least a 20 minute bath, but we were laughing because it was like she was at a spa having servants pour water over her. You! Draw my bath. You! Make me some earl gray. You! Fight to the death! Sorry family guy quotes snuck in here somehow?!
