The D-Backs' Newest Fan!

Today we brought Davin on his longest road trip so far to Phoenix for Fandimonium weekend at Chase Field. We had season tickets to the D-Backs this year, but didn't really get to use them because I was on bedrest, and then we had Davin who was just too young. We finally decided that Davin was old enough to tote along, even though he probably won't remember it! He spent the first inning staring at everything and everyone around him (lots of visual stimulation), then he fell asleep until about the fifth inning. When he woke up, he had some good ballpark food (a bottle), then enjoyed a walk around the park. I think it all went pretty well! And, Davin has a new Mark Reynolds bobble head for his bedroom!

Turtley Cute

Just in case you forgot how cute he is...

Footie Pajamas

In an effort to start a bedtime routine, we've started puting Davin, who has outgrown that swaddle stage, in pajamas, feeding him one last time, then going to sleep. I'll be the first to admit that the routine is far from perfect, and far from mastered, but it's a start. I realize he's only 2 1/2 months old, but he's started getting this tired cry at the same time each night, then eventually falling asleep. So, I guess what we're trying to accomplish is a shortening of the crying period and making bedtime a happy experience for all. Possible? We'll see, but for now, the footie pajamas are the sweetest thing!

The Adventures of Davin and Daddy

Thom has been dying to share his love of the outdoors with Davin, so on Saturday while I was at work, they packed themselves up and ventured up the road to Bonita Creek. I wish I could have been there, but at the same time, I think it's awesome that they are so into father/son time.

Big!

Took Davin for his 2 month checkup on Tuesday, he weighs 9 pounds 14 ounces and is 22 inches long! 25th percentile (up from the 5th percentile)! He has such a personality now!

Had to get a huge round of vaccinations, not fun. He was fussy with a low grade fever all day yesterday, poor guy. Feeling better today, though! Now Thom and I get to go get our flu shots today. Wonder if Davin is thinking "haha, karma!"

Labor Day

Hope everyone is having a great labor day! We had a fish fry at Brenda's house last night, also used it as a little birthday celebration for Dad (his actual birthday is tomorrow).

As soon as we walked in, Davin was whisked away... how must it feel to be the most popular man in the room?

He got to meet Sharon Greene and Nana & Papa Cowan for the first time, but he spent most of his time with Erick...

This has been such a cute relationship to watch. The teenage boy in the family, the one who would steriotypically be the least interested in a baby, walked up to me and asked "hey, Nicole, can I hold him?" So, carrier strapped onto the front oh him with Davin inside, Erick walked, danced, and made funny noises, whatever would make the baby happy. Love it!
