Back to Work

My "summer vacation"... yeah right..... has finally come to an end. Sadly I returned to work this week, but it's OK Shannon had a great week with her grandmother so I had nothing to worry about. Plus Lauren got this great picture of Shannon for me of her smiling so I have it posted on my desktop at work. She starts daycare on Tuesday hopefully she will like it. Where does the time go?

My hand tastes great

Who knew that your hand could taste so good....

I love my exersaucer

So I finally took this out of the box on Friday. Boy there were a lot of parts : ) I bought one of these for my mom's house but it was already put together. That's OK Shannon and I got it done by the time Dale got home. We didn't even have any extra parts. She's still a little small for it so we put a towel in there to help prop her up and a telephone book under her feet but she loves it.

Shannon Says Hi

Hi everyone. We just wanted to take this opportunity to say hi. Shannon is getting a lot more interactive so we'll try to get her to smile here for you all soon.
We are going to try and post some more videos as this is a great way for all of you to get to see her. She's growing so fast it's unbelievable.

Swimming

Shannon is a fish and loves the bath so we thought we would give the pool a try. She loved it... or at least didn't scream at me hard to tell when they aren't smiling too much yet. Don't you just love her bathing suit?

First night in my crib

So Shannon has been getting a little cramped in her bassinet (see picture to the left) so we decided to give her crib a try last night. She's been taking naps in it so I put her down last night. She did great. I however was a nervous wreck, even though the crib is only about 10 steps away from my bed and Dale told me he didn't think I slept at all. She's getting so big!!! 7 weeks today. It's amazing they change every day. I promise to keep our blog updated better. Oh and Ashley I swear I'm not posing her arms like that she really does sleep with her hands up behind her head like that.

Happy Birthday Allie

Allie turned 2 and we celebrated with the Cogan's. Apparently Dale and Shannon celebrated themselves right out.
