Granby, CO

We went on a ski trip last week to Granby CO.  with my family. The rest of the family drove to Granby but we weren't sure how Kaylin would do on a 14 hour drive. Justin really needed to be back on Wednesday for a meeting on Thursday and my parents and the kids weren't going to be home till late Thursday night. So we talked about flying there and back and my Grandpa offered to pay for our plane tickets. Thanks G'Pa!
We flew out of San Angelo on Saturday morning. We got up at 6:30 even though our plane didn't fly out until 10:30 but it worked! We got everything packed up and got to the airport by 9:30 made it through security and upstairs to the gate in plenty of time.
Kaylin slept the whole way to Dallas. I fed her in Dallas and then she slept the whole way to Denver! She was a great traveler. We got to Denver around 2:30 got our luggage and Uncle Billy and Aunt Penny picked us up and we headed for Granby.

 The next few days were filled with skiing and snowboarding and family time. Most of the group decided to snowboard and took lessons. Michael,  Matthew,  and Jimmie learned pretty quickly! Justin and Joy decided to snowboard but after having a hard time decided they would have much more fun skiing. After a few falls(or just hard skiing) the hot tub in our rooms felt pretty good.
.  Justin, Joy, Jimmie,  Michael,  Matthew and I started going down blues by the second day. Amy and Stella both started on the bunny slope but by the end of the trip came down the big mountain! Stella even went down a blue on the last day.  My mom, Annie, Aunt Penny and Grammy were awesome and watched Kaylin several times so I could go ski. Annie had fun playing dress up with Kaylin. 
We had a ton of fun and came home a little sore and tired :) 
Grandpa drove us back to Denver on Wednesday morning and we flew back to San Angelo. It took all day but was so much easier than driving. It was a fabulous trip!

Kaylin 1 Month



I cannot believe our sweet girl is a month old already! It seems like just a few days ago we brought her home from the hospital.

Weight: 8lb 3oz
Length: 22in
Head: 14 1/2in

Diet: Nurses every 2-3 hours day and night. Sometimes if she still seems hungry we feed her an ounce or two of pumped breastmilk. Spits up a lot! The more we burp her the less she spits up so we've started burping her a lot! 
I call this "Milk Coma"
Sleep: Sleeps very good at night, I usually have to wake her up to feed her. She sleeps in her rock n play bassinet beside our bed and we swaddle at night. Starting to be more and more awake during the day. Probably awake a total of 3 hours every day. 

Mood: She is a very happy baby, usually doesnt cry unless shes hungry. Smiles alot in her sleep, which is so sweet and has recently started making the cutest little squeals and coos

Activities: She likes tummy time but usually gets frustrated after a few minutes and starts grunting and wimpering until I pick her up. Today we got out her playmat and she loves it! Looks around at all the little animals

Clothes: Still wearing newborn clothes but some are getting snug. Wearing size NB diapers but about to switch to size 1. Tried wearing some of her little newborn shoes, but her feet are long and skinny so they are almost too long for the shoes but she can kick them right off.



Kaylin,
We love you so much and are so excited to watch you grow and change. You are the sweetest little thing, I cannot believe you are ours!
