Favorite Toy

We figured out what Johanna's favorite toy is... She loves this toy mat, it makes her smile every time!

My New Niece Sophia

Yesterday at 11:37 pm my niece Sophia was born. Mom and Baby are doing fine. She is 8 lbs 12 oz and 20"! Boy, look at all that hair! She looks just like her Daddy, especially her mouth!

Growing bigger by the day

I can't believe how much Johanna has grown in her first 11 weeks of life. Last check up she was 12 pounds and that was three weeks ago! I am guessing she is close 14 pounds now. She has the most adorable chubby little cheeks. She is smiling ALL the time now especially when we talk to her. She loves listening to us read her a book and she loves when I sing her Pat-a-Cake. I can't imagine life without my baby-girl and I'll miss her so much when I have to go back to work :( That will be hard but I think I'll get a web-cam so I can check in on her during the day. I think that will make it easier on me...

Baby's first Christmas

Johanna came away from her first Christmas with a whole lot of loot and case of constipation! We are guessing the constipation came from traveling and messing with her schedule. She is better now and pooping nicely. The things I get excited about nowadays...

Other than that Christmas was fun. Christmas day was spend at my parent's house and then we were off for Johanna's first road trip to Hoxie to celebrate Christmas with Dustin's family. She got so many toys and clothes! We are do thankful for everyones' generosity. Not that we could convince either grandparents to stop buying her stuff if we tried. We also celebrated Dustin's mom LaRene's wedding while we were in Hoxie. Congratulations to her! Here are some pics form my parent's house and the trip to Hoxie
