whirl wind

This summer has been a whirl wind of adventure...to say the least. Let me explain.

I graduated.
The next day we droved across the country to Pittsburgh.
Then a few weeks later I flew back to Utah.
Then a couple weeks later I had her...Trace came home for a few days.
Then I went to Arizona with my parents.
I went back and forth from Show Low to Heber to have fun with family.
I went camping.
I got really sick.
Then I flew to Provo to get some doctor check ups.
Then I drove back down to Arizona...across the beautiful rez.
Now I'm packing my bags to fly to Pittsburgh tomorrow.
It will be so nice to be back to normality. Don't get me wrong. It's been so nice spending time with family and having them help me with the kids. I feel so blessed to have such amazing and supportive parents. Brody has enjoyed all the extra attention. He sucks it up like a dry sponge.
As for Dot...she gaining weight and growing and has enjoyed being held every second of the day. She's in the 1 percentile for her weight and 3 percent for her height. Petite...but getting some chub on her.
As for Brody...he'll be happy to be with his Poppi again and back to a normal schedule and a set home. I am pretty sure he's sick of moving around and going to and fro. He is a little extra clingy and always wants his mamma...and to sit right next to me when I'm feeding Dot- just to make sure I'm doing it right.

Aw little Dot. It is SOO refreshing to see another little healthy baby that doesn't have to top the charts in the 99th percentiles! Collin has always gone strong in the 3% range. Of course, Dot is a girl so it's easier for her to be tiny. But at least Collin can marry her in 24 years and won't have to worry about finding a wife that's the same size or smaller than him. ha ha. ok, ok, I'll let the kids grow up and have fun before I start trying to marry them off.

She is a cutie though. And so is Brody. I love that he supervises everything. What a good big bro!
