Surprise surprise.. i'm behind on blogging again! Here goes:
On February 7th Vanessa turned 1 month old. She weighed in at 10 lbs 3 oz and was already 21.7 inches. She is growing so well, and even starting to get some chunks, she just might take after her big brother after all! She still sleeps most of the day, and when she is awake, she is very easy going, really only fusses and cries when she is having her diaper changed or the usual, hungry, sleepy, poopy or cold (she is very temperamental about temperature). Here are the pictures I snapped of her at 1 month:
She has smiled a few times, but it is stull pretty sporadic and almost accidental, except when she is sleeping, which I can almost always get her to smile by talking to her.. that's what I did here :-)
Like a little doll!
LOVE this little cashmere outfit!
Yeah.. she woke up... it's still pretty rare to have her awake... so we enjoy it when we get it
Her eyes are getting lighter blue every day! Orange hair, blue eyes...go Broncos! Connor may be a Huskie like his daddy, but she'll be a Bronco like mommy :-)
Funny story about Connor recently. We were in Boise and when we went by the BSU stadium Connor asked "whats that?" I said "it's where the Broncos play football, say GO BRONCOS" his response... exact words: "no mommy, go Huskies"..... Jeremy was very proud in that moment!!
My good friend Lisa wanted to have a baby shower for me, but because we didn't know what we were having, and because I felt weird having a shower before the baby was born anyway, plus we wanted Jeremy's mom to be included (since she was gone the month of January) we waited until she was a little over a month old. We had the shower at my house because several of my friends hadn't seen it yet. Several of my friends even came from out of town, it was a WONDERFUL shower, and we were given several very generous and adorable gifts!
Baby Shower Pictures:
Everyone wanted to get there hands on her...but nobody wanted to let her go, so it basically took boldness to get to hold her.. it was fun to watch how people just adored her!
The decorations were adorable!
Between everyone's kids and the adults..... it was a full house, but that is what we designed it for...
Onsie guest book!
Party favors...
Connor was a big help, especially with the gifts for him!
Watching the gifts be opened
I LOVED everything.. and I got a really good variety of sizes and types of outfits and gifts
It was a tea party :-)

My best friend Suzanne from Seattle came for the shower. Her and the kids stayed for the shower Saturday, while Jeremy and Shane went North to Oroville to be with a bunch of the other guys.. they had a demolition derby where they got to drive cars needing to be junked up in the hills, they raced them, ran over large rocks, etc.... they had a great time being "boys again". We had a great weekend together.. so did the kids :-)
The kids always get along great... here they are playing with Connors SAND!
Jeremy's cousin Angela and her family also came for the weekend, they stayed with Nancy, but Sunday we had everyone to our house for lunch after meeting.

Besties with our babies! I have a picture like this when we just had the two kids.. amazing how fast things can change! It feels like just yesterday we were single gals living together in college.... now when we get together, we are lucky if we can have a complete conversation without someone needing us! It's crazy, but awesome :-)
All of us... if any of us have any more kids we won't have any way to hold them!!
We went to Boise for the long weekend in February so Nicole's Dad, Brother and Grandparents on both sides and even a few extras..could meet Vanessa. It was a fast weekend, but very nice to see everyone!

Jeremy's cousin Dean is living in Meridian, going to lineman school, so he came over for dinner Sunday evening, it is very obvious in this photo where Vanessa gets the red.. it is definitely strong on Jeremy's side of the family :-)
I couldn't help myself when I say Papa and Connor both "working" on their IPads :-)
Precious!
On our way out of town we stopped by the shop to say bye to Papa and Uncle Brian...
Brian held her a bunch, but this is the best photo... She LOVES Uncle Brian.. he seems to be getting the most smiles so far!
I should have put her hood on too :-)
It was very nice to go home, I will traveling to Hawaii with the 2 kids to meet up with my family in just a few weeks. I hope traveling alone with 2 goes well! I'm just glad i'll have help on both ends!
