Colorado...

So deige and I took our first airplane flight to colorado in february. it was so much fun! we had a blast! my parents had so much fun with us and we with them. it was really really nice and refreshing for us to get away. and he did SOOOO well on the airplane! he loved it, actually. stayed awake the entire time, talking to people around us! very sweet.

we were able to surprise deige's godmother Molly while we were there. she is my best friend in the entire world and we had been missing eachother like crazy! she kept saying, while micah's in samoa, you should come here... well, i planned on that without telling her. so, on monday morning, we showed up at her work with flowers and balloons. it was so fun! i've never really kept a good secret before. i am the girl who tells people what their christmas gifts and birthday presents are before they open them! naughty! so, it was a big deal for me to have actually surprised her! the look on her face was CLASSIC! she was truly surprised. and it made my day! =) i cried the second i saw her. it was so much fun!

i spent a lot of time with my mama, too, on this trip. she took the week off of work so that we could hang out. she played this game called "open the envelope"...=) well, i don't know if that's what it was called, but...that's what we did! =) she had an envelope for every day of the week. and in the morning, deige was allowed to pick an envelope out of her hands. whatever envelope he chose, we opened. so, one day it had $50 in it, and so that's what we were "allowed" to spend that day. =) so fun! one day had a shopping spree for deigey in it! so fun! we went to castlerock where the outlet malls are and had a hay day! =) so much fun! he got an ENTIRE summer wardrobe! it was so much fun! my parents really spoiled him, and me! =)

we had a lot of fun....thanks, mom and dad! (nana and papa!) and molly. =) can't wait to see you all again asap! xoxoxo

belly laughs

so, deige LOVES when his daddy, or mommy, kiss on his belly. he thinks it is the funniest thing in the world!!! so cute! so sweet! the best sound in the world is my baby laughing. xoxox

yay for new bottles

i used to use the avent bottles. the 4 ozers...they were good. but the new ones i use are GREAT!!! any new moms or moms to be need to buy these! they are called "the breastflow technology bottles" by the first years company. i bought mine at target. they are awesome, and they litterally look like a breast. they have two layers of nipple and the outer part is soft and forms to their mouth. deige has never taken a bottle so well as he did today! so sweet. i love love love this bottle! i swear by this bottle! you should ALL trust me on this and get them for your little ones. so worth it~! =)

okay! that's all for now...

daddy is in samoa!

so this week has been different only because micah is in samoa. i really miss him. i get lonely for him. its not that i'm lonely in general, its that i'm lonely for him. he is my world! definitely makes me appreciate all micah does around here. like, the laundry. =) micah does ALL the laundry and i take that for granted. but its so nice and helps me out so much. its been hard juggling all the household duties plus deige and ava. but, its not too much longer. he will be home in a little less than 2 weeks. it will be fun to have him home. i'm hoping to get deige crawling by the time he returns. we'll see if i can do it! xxoo

yay! good work, baby!!!!

first day at zoo

we took deigey to the santa ana zoo on friday last week. so fun! my parents were in town so they were able to go with us. deigey didn't really notice many of the animals. but, he loved being outside. we walked and walked and he did so well. he loves the outdoors. its so fun to take him places. we walk all the time. which is good for me too! and good for ava, our dog! =) today we walked to blockbuster. which is pretty far! anyway, this is baby at the zoo! xoxo
