Jumpin Jack

This is more like "I puked" but for information's sake he did just get done "pooing". He had just finished eating and I thought that we were in the clear with the spit up. Guess not. He probably gets his clothes changed on an average of 3 time per day--I guess I say, I SHOULD change him that much, but I get pretty tired of it so a lot of the time he stays in his pukey clothes, hence he smell like spit up most of the time. Boys are WAY messier than girls. Sofie just didn't get so stinky and dirty. Baths for him are mostly a nightly occurrence.

This is my Jumpin Jack. He will sit in this jolly jumper for an hour and bounce away! Sofie was never a big fan of it. I am glad I kept it cause he loves it! Also, the dog loves Jack, I think it is because of all his stinky boy smells! Very interesting for Syd.

Night Away

Ryan and I got to get away for a night and we went to Santa Fe which is a 3 hour drive from our house. We went there last when I was pregnant with Sofia and Ryan had a meeting --so I tagged along. We had wonderful meals and experienced the Opera. This time, he wasn't on call and we had really nothing planned, so we went for an over night without the kids for the fist time EVER (in 2 years). Micah (cah cah), stayed with Sofie and Jack, and I nervously, went away with my husband. The kids did great, I don't think they noticed. Jack actually slept til 7 am, which he is always up early when we are home. We had 7pm dinner reservations at our favorite Italian restaurant, they serve the BEST fois gras! So after our 3 hour dinner--haven't seen those in awhile, we walked around the wonderful art shops in the Santa Fe square, and went and listened to some music. We found this store that wasn't there 2 1/2 years ago, that is properly named after me. :) If any of your are Napoleon Dynamite fans please take note of the Inn name in the back ground. It is La Fonda --ie."la-fawn-dah" he he.
Enjoying some music and each other's company. During dinner, Ryan presented me with a wonderful present for Mother's Day. He picked out a wedding band that goes with my current set that is encrusted with Sapphires and Diamonds. What a really lovely surprise, I was crying in the restaurant and as I was looking at it I dropped it on the floor, under the table, somewhere, and the waiter had to come with a flash light and we found it. What a freakin commotion. Needless to say, he surprised me and Sapphires are my favorite, so he did well. I have to say it looks lovely with my wedding set. Spoils me rotten--as if a night of wonderful food and music weren't enough.
Here is a little bragging on Ryan. He made this piece and it is in our living room. He actually made it for our friends Dianna and Paul who live in Telluride--I will be sad to part with it. Ryan loves to use different mediums and textures. There are all kinds of stuff going on in this. What a talented guy right?
I think she learned this from somewhere??? I wonder??? Talking on the phone that is, not the shirt off part, she got that from Daddy. I got her up from her nap and she had her shirt off. Lately she has been waking up with various pieces of clothing removed. I dread when the diaper comes off.

I had a bridal shower here at my house for our baby sitter Micah, we are so blessed to have her. She has been the best thing since sliced bread for us as she comes in the mornings and lets me get stuff done, running, shopping, bill paying, blogging. She is getting married in June and Sofia get s to be a flower girl in her wedding, and I told her I wasn't going to guarantee any specific behavior. Sofie adores "Cah Cah" (she can't say Micah) and we adore her and her fiancee Adam. They are a perfect couple and have been so good to the kids.
This was supposed to be a girl shower but Jack was his usual charming self and hung with the babes in the living room.
Sorry I can't figure out how to turn this. This is our awesome girl, Micah, she is going to make a beautiful bride.
Our neighbors have a 3 month old his name is Will. He and Jack are fast becoming buddies.
Just the Boys

Sofie fell asleep in her high chair for the first time ever. She was worn out from going on rounds at the hospital with Daddy and then going to do some errands. Daddy wore her out!

Our really great friends, Becky and Virgil and their two kids Maddie and Noah came over for dinner last night. Sofie loves to pushed around in her baby stroller. She also has a HUGE crush on Noah. It is so funny to see her follow him around EVERYWHERE.
Daddy taking Sofie for a ride.
Sofie doesn't do anything without "baby"
