R & R in Las Vegas

Rick and I got away for a few days in Las Vegas-we had a nice time-went to a show had a few nice dinners, days at the pool, and most inportant a few night sleep! Thanks to our parents who watched Duke while we were away. It felt so good to get sleep.

End of Summer! What a crazy one it has been....

Duke loves bath time!

This mat has been the best!

Ready for my close-up...

I think my kid is the cutest thing ever...

He will be sitting up on his own in no time

Duke's close-up-look at those pretty eyes.

He still is more into the pack then his stroller so this is how we go for our walks at night.

Summer is almost over, Rick goes back to work in a few weeks and I have started back working at OCDE. Duke will be 12 weeks on Friday. Things are starting to get a little easier, still not getting a lot of sleep but he is starting to take longer naps during the day and sleeping for longer periods of time at night in between feedings. We have switched him to a new formula since I think the other one might have been upsetting his stomach. He is so cute and changes everyday.

Duke's had a few visitors...

Jen and Luke came for a visit and brought there daughters Kaia and Sailor-here Kaia is holding

Duke!
Lisa and Duke at our Beach day last Friday.

Jessica and Duke

My cousin came to stay with us for a few days 2 weeks ago-here are her and Duke hangin out..

Playing away...

This activity mat was a great gift-he plays on it several times a day-he giggles and hit the toys above-he loves the yellow fish and has long conversations with him-would love to know what he is saying...hahaha

Duke in the big boy recliner...

He is starting to enjoy sitting up-we put him in the recliner and he passed right out! Too cute...

Some Pics from the past week...

I love my little man...

How I have been spending my summer...

Love the hand on the knee pose...

Could I be any cuter?

All smiles...

Hanging on mommy's lap...

So tired....

Beyond Tired....

Duke's 2 Month Check-Up.....

On the way to the Dr.

Duke After his shots...

We went to the Dr. yesterday and Duke is now 13.2 pounds and 23.75 inches long. Wow-he has grown so much this past few months...he is so cute! He also had to get 3 shots and he handled it like a pro-a little crying but overall he did great. The Dr. was very impressed that he can hold his head up so high and for so long-she said he is very strong and looks great and healthy. We go back at 4 months for the next check-up.

He is taking more now during the day then he was-last night we fed him at midnight and he slept till 5:45am...which is great! Rick and I are feeling pretty sleep deprived and if he can start this new pattern of 12-6am that would be great! who said sleep is overrated? I would have to disagree....haha-But our little man is worth it!

Summer is flying by and I can't believe it is almost August-wow, what a crazy time-days and weeks are going so fast...
