2nd Big trip to Youray, Durango, Telluride with Mima and Papa Olander

2009-07-29T15:03:00.000-07:00

My Dad and stepmom came to visit... Davin did excellent at 2 months for 4 long days in the car road-tripping. We had such a great time driving over the million dollar highway... gorgeous!

This is how Josh does Diaper Time!!!

Lots more smiles everyday from Davin!!!

1st big road trip to Laramie, WY for a wedding

2009-07-29T14:50:00.000-07:00

I dressed my boys alike for a friend's wedding we went to in Laramie. They both look so good in green!

Cousin Time

2009-07-29T14:41:00.000-07:00

Davin's cousins Trace and Taylor each visited Nana and Papa this summer at separate times... for 2 weeks. Davin loved their attention... Trace read him a goodnight story and gave him bunny ears, and Taylor boogy danced and made him laugh... they were both a big help... Davin still gets a little cross-eyed at 8 weeks trying to focus

Sleep.. what's that????????

2009-07-29T14:35:00.000-07:00

Here is the best wild man picture! Almost like he's saying... Ha ha ha mom... no more sleep for you for years! He helps me do laundry too... what a guy :)

BATH TIME!!!

2009-07-29T14:28:00.000-07:00

Davin loves the water! But that's no surprise.. he was born into a family of fish swimmers... I've taken him to the pool about 3 times... one time lasted 10 minutes at about 9 weeks WOW! So excited to visit Grandma Connie's house so he can swim with us in the pool I grew up in :)

Big Eyes and Chubby Cheeks like Mama!

The Crochet Dutch Kid!

2009-06-27T13:24:00.000-07:00

I love these photos! I couldn't stop laughing for hours.. a very nice woman from church made this outfit for Davin.. I am into homemade gifts, and just learned to crochet (a very simple scarf) this last winter, and just loved this gift. Davin however had some differing opinions... LOL! He looks like he's going in for a mug shot... like "take me now" and then after all the funny faces.. he finally gave up and fell cozy asleep for about 2 hours.

Mr. Anti-Pacifier Baby

2009-06-27T13:15:00.000-07:00

I tried giving him a pacifier at about 4 weeks, he grabbed it with his hand, yanked it out, and started complaining... now 7 weeks he still only takes it if he's really tired.

1st picnic on the way to Youray with Mama and Nana

The Louder and bumpier the better!

2009-06-26T21:13:00.001-07:00

When Davin is fussy and needs some help resting... we play it LOUD! He likes music, vacuums, lawmowers, moving in the car, and bumpy stroller rides... When the car stops or the pavement gets smooth for the stroller he starts to gripe!

Church Friends

2009-06-26T20:58:00.000-07:00

These are our friends Bethany and Josh... yup another Josh.. Lol! We met them at church, and enjoyed preparing to be parents together. We all have a lot in common, and enjoy our time together. The first Sunday back to church together both babies started crying and needing a diaper change... the congregation thought it was so hilarious that the DADS were the ones to walk out with the babies while the moms stayed and listened to the speaker!

Baby Davin has made it home!

2009-06-23T11:05:00.000-07:00

Wow! What an incredible experience... I was in labor for 27 hours... quite the long-haul. Josh was by my side walking the halls, holding trash cans while I "progressed". I took about 4 hot baths, and 3 showers within the 27 hours to help ease some of the contraction sensations. Grandma Connie made it just in time to help with the hardest part during transition... she held my head and breathed with me while Josh put counterpressure on my back... then 20 minutes of pushing and whalla! My baby was in my arms nursing at his own will within 5 minutes. I am so thankful for a healthy baby, loving support, and the chance to experience a natural labor. When Davin was first put into my arms I annouced, "This was so worth it... I'd do it all over again!" Everyone in the room looked and me and laughed... I paused, and sanely said, "In like 3 years!"

My mother-in-law Patty thought this was soooo funny!

Spring Baby is Blossoming!!!

2009-03-03T09:12:00.000-08:00

The weather has been phenomenal lately... sunshine mid 50s... absolutely beautiful. I have been able to take some really good long walks, bike rides to church with Josh, and enjoy hanging our laundry outside again. Baby Davin Noah is so responsive to his Daddy's touch. Any time Josh comes over to talk to Davin, kiss my belly, or place his warm hand on my skin... Davin will start squirming with delight! Josh and I get such a "kick" out of this... well okay maybe literally only I do, but it's so fun anyway.

Our Livingston family is settling into the Grand Junction, CO area...
