Happy Tet (Vietnamese New Year)

Grandma R wanted to make sure that Mailee was dressed appropriately to ring in the Vietnamese New Year that started January 26th. Mailee has celebrated the year of the Ox so far by having lots of play time.... she loves her activity mat, her swing, hanging w/Sahara and going for walks (even though she throws a fit when she first gets put in her car seat). She has also started to sit up in her bumbo seat.

Welcome Fletcher William Condon!!

Heather had her THIRD baby today... her 2nd baby boy! He came without her having to be induced and she only pushed for 8 minutes! I told her she needs to have children for a living! HA HA. Fletcher was a big boy... 8 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long... can't wait to hold him.

Mailee is 2 months old!

Wow...time is sure flying by... our little pumpkin is over two months old now! Every day since the day she was born has been wonderful and special. I wake up every morning anxious to see what the day will bring, as Mailee is such a joy to watch. I can't imagine my world without her in it now. Earlier this week we had her 2 month appointment and the doctor said that she was healthy and that we were very lucky parents to have a baby girl like her (who sleeps though the night allowing mommy and daddy to rest as well). She is a bit small (9 1bs 12 oz and 22 inches long) but hey.. I guess John and I aren't the biggest people either, so what do you expect? Doc says she is only in the 20th and 30th percentile... but she is healthy. :) Here is some video of her playing (I know grandma and grandpa R and auntie liz love to see this stuff) She is also smiling and cooing a lot... but I never have the camera near by when she is hamming it up. She is extra happy in the mornings...so I'll plan to catch a grin on camera soon.

Happy Birthday Carrie & Meredith!

A Birthday shout out to Carrie & Meredith as they celebrate their 33rd year! Love you guys!

Mailee meets her BFF Gracie

We headed to Virginia Beach to visit Kitty, Jeff and Gracie...Mailee dressed appropriately in her animal print! We had a great night with the Harpers - just like old times.... a little too much fun and a little too much wine... HA!
We miss you guys and love little Gracie!

Mailee meets all of our friends

Going home for the holidays gave us a chance to introduce our little pumpkin to so many of our close friends. She experienced our fav restaurant Rio Grande while we dined with the guys and even got to watch the bowl game with them too.
Grandma R opened up her house for a sip and see as well where she met all the girls.

Christmas 2008

Mailee's first Christmas was so much fun! We decided to brave a cross country plane ride with a 6 week old and it was all worth it.
