the BUMBO

I think this is one of the greatest inventions I've come across. Ary will sit for a little while all by herself in her Bumbo while we eat dinner or I'll put her on the counter while I load the dishwasher. The other day Jed brought banana bread to his mom's Sunday dinner, so Ary sat right next to the mixer the whole time he made the batter and watched the paddle spin around. He was able to get everything mixed and loaded into the tin while she sat there. We've held her so much that she thinks she has to be up in someone's arms all the time, so it's a feat in itself to get small things like this done without her having to be picked up!
I know people will say that we spoil her by holding her a lot, but my feeling is that it's not like we're going to have a whole bus-load of kids to do this all the time with, so I don't care if my baby wants to be walked and rocked around right now. This time is already going by so fast and pretty soon she won't need to be cuddled anymore:(.
We go tomorrow for her four month shots and check up. She is still changing so much so fast; we notice little things that are new almost every day. Her eyes are changing from that slate newborn color, I'm crossing my fingers they'll be green like mine:) and the hair she lost after the newborn stage is coming in lighter too. She definitely is starting to look like her own little self and not a generic baby anymore, yay!

Go Jazz!

Dr. Graf and co. were unable to attend the Nuggets game, so he generously offered his tickets to Mitzi. Well there were two sets so Jed and I got to go too! It was so fun. Dr. G's tickets are with the 100 club so we got to go upstairs and have a yummy buffet before the game, then sit on the THIRD ROW! It was so incredible to be that close to the players and be able to listen to them talk to each other. We all gawked at how huge they are up close and deciphered a few tattoos even:).



The "Birdman" as they call him was so funny. He thought so highly of himself when in reality we thought he looked like a big goofball. Check out the red wings on the back of his arms.


Well the Jazz won and we had such a good time! In my next life when I'm rich and famous I'll have season tickets like these every year;). We loved it! Thanks for sharing Dr. G!
