The Wingers Go To Oregon

So as most of you know, Aunt Jenny’s son, Justin was married on August 6th.  We traveled to Oregon to celebrate the occasion and hang with the family.  We were able to visit some vineyards and other attractions in the Salem area.  The weather was AMAZING…a crisp 50-ish degrees in the morning with the high’s never topping 85.  It was HEAVEN for Daddy!  Amelia took her first flight and did beautifully!  She was such a trooper the whole 10 days for being very much out of her element!  Mommy survived the flights…not so gracefully, but no panic attack!  We had a small setback…a stomach bug ran rampant through the house contaminating all but 7 of the 13 people in the house.  Amelia was one of the lucky ones!  Mommy and Daddy weren’t so lucky!  We got to spend time with Aunt Jenny and the whole Comeaux clan.  The wedding was beautiful!  Such a great venue and atmosphere…and the bride and groom were so sweet!  We made it home Monday night…just in time for Momma to go back to work on Tuesday.  Happy New School Year!  Enjoy the photos!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you look very close there is a black spec in the middle of the picture in the tree!  It is a Bald Eagle!!  Our camera lens could not zoom that far to get a closer view.

We finally know where our Christmas Tree comes from!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. with The Neighbors

We were lucky enough to see Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. with our old neighbors, Jeff and Simone. Amelia and Colin hung out while we enjoyed the rain and music!

Discoveries…

Each day it seems as if Amelia makes new discoveries in her little world.  Her most recent discoveries…her hands.  She looks at them in awe several times a day.  They are great to knaw on, suck, and wave not- so- gracefully in the air.  I love to watch her flutter them in front of her face.  She is so entertained by them!  She also enjoys the grasping feature of these two amazing appendages!  She loves to grab and hold on TIGHT!!   Love those hands!

She is also discovering her voice and the multitude of sounds it is able to make.  Of course she is silent when I try to film her so there is no viable proof of this except eyewitness…however it is the funniest thing to hear, and quite sweet if I may say so myself!

3 Months Already!!

I feel like a broken record when I say this, but I cannot believe how fast my little girl is growing!  Yesterday, her daddy and I weighed her and measured her, as we have done for her 1 month and 2 month milestones and we are still in shock!  She weighs 12 pounds 9 ounces and is 23 inches long!  She is “fully interactive” now—she smiles, tries to laugh but can’t get it out, and coos when she is talked to.  She is starting to grab at things, not just bat them, and kicks up a storm!  It is so amazing to watch her and know that we didn’t even know her at this time last year!  She is such a sweet baby and truly is the greatest thing that has happened to Andrew and I…aside from Elmo and Zoe, that is!   ;)

Fourth of July

Amelia was not very cooperative, but I did get a few pictures of her in her patriotic outfit.  She looked super cute, until she made her own fireworks and Momma had to change her outfit…

A shout out to Aunt Jenny!

Aunt Jenny, who lives on the other side of the country, has made it a tradition to send her newest nieces and nephews a “Birth Box”.  It is a box FULL of fun surprises for the new baby…and you guessed it!  Amelia got her Birth Box!  We were so impressed with (and extremely grateful for) Aunt Jenny’s craft, we had to take pictures!!  Thank you so much Aunt Jenny and Uncle Bill!  We love you and cannot wait to visit!
