Oh happy day!

After weeks without a hairdryer my pain has ended!! Do you know how annoying it is to not be able to dry your hair every morning?? Take my word for it. Painful. My hairdryer kicked the bucket a couple weeks back and I couldn't go back to the store it came from because a) I'm not a professional stylist and b) it's been over a month since my sister bought it for me --I had to mail it back to the manufacturer with a check and the hope that someday they'll send it back to me fixed. I don't even know what happened to the dang thing--just stopped working one day. But today I got a BRAND NEW ONE in the mail!! No explanation as to what happened to my old one, however, which makes me a little sad. Aaaaanyway, I can have regular hair again. So Hooray!

Some fun photos from this past weekend

four generations sort of....

destry with his cousins (second cousins I guess) Jaci and Natalie. Arms contributed by Taffee and Kolt

These were all taken in Green River for Kolt's grandparents Hatt's 60th anniversary. There were a ton of people and it was pretty fun. Destry behaved the whole time and made the drive to and from pretty good too. Both times he only woke up 15 minutes before we got there. Much better than kobe....

Good News

Destry's terrible baby acne is getting better! There is a reason why I haven't been posting pics this week. I'm not documenting my poor baby's ugly period. :( But this morning it's looking waaaaaaay better--less 15-year-old-boy and more normal-baby-acne. It was seriously way bad, I've never seen it like he had. So soon we'll be back to normal and the camera can come out of hiding once more.

Tub time!!

This isn't his first bath...sadly I was the only one around and I forgot the camera. But we can pretend these are the real deal! Destry really likes the bath tub. At first he got a little mad but that lasted all of three seconds. Thats when he realized that it was nice and warm. He actually fell asleep!

snoozing away....

all wrapped up and good to go! He even pooped in his towel riiight after this pic. Nice.

100th post. what an accomplishment

He's a smiley kid--just like his daddy!

p.s. sorry it's kinda blurry...my camera doesn't like taking pictures without the flash but I want my child to be able to see in the future.

A story and then some news

I usually go to bed before Kolt does and last night was no different. When he came to bed he kissed me good night and went to pull me closer to him (insert "awww"). To this I replied, "Don't! I'm in the middle of feeding [destry]!" Which Kolt then responded, "What??"

At this point in my complete and utter exhaustion I opened my eyes to look down at the baby and discovered that there really was no baby in my arms. Talk about trippy. It was a weird feeling--I would've bet money that I was holding my child.

For all the readers who are freaking out about now wondering where I dropped my baby off in my bed, relax. Turns out Destry was safe in his bassinet right where I left him an hour earlier. I was totally dreaming about feeding my child. We both got a good chuckle out of it, which is pretty hard to do since I was an hour into my sleep cycle when Kolt woke me up. Usually that's when you get angry Laura.

Just goes to show how much I'm feeding this kid.

Another clue to the frequency in the feeding....he weighed in at 9 lbs 6 oz today at the doctors for his two week check up. And is 20 3/4" long. If you're keeping score that's an entire pound gained and two + inches. geeze louise. This kid loves to eat. So he's in the 75% for weight--height and head circumference he's 50%. He's got a normal head size so that's nice. Just a fatty :)

so cute

The quality is pretty bad but that's because I had to scan it from a print-out from Kolt's mom. But it's still cute so i figured I'd share it with the class.

And for those who don't know, this is Kolt and Destry with Kolt's cousin Taffee and her baby Jaci.
