Hands and Feet

When she's not on her back sticking her fist in her mouth for fun, she is learning to use the Bumper Jumper. These pictures are of the first day she was in it. She seems to be enjoying figuring out what to do in it. We are also taking video to capture the squeals and looks of concern as she realizes that her legs can work.

Getting so strong

Neva is really holding her head up during tummy time!

adventures with Jorge

Jorge was very helpful pushing Neva around different places. Neva had a great time at the Japanese restaraunt in Anchorage looking at the fish and making friends with the wait staff.

Uncle visits!

Jorge was happy to see the baby and Diesel, and they were happy to see him. We even had some sunny weather for the quick weekend visit.

Life is Good

Neva has been such a good baby, we are so lucky. Her mother was able to attend a three-day conference in Anchorage last week. Neva did beautifully with Sue, the baby sitter, and Carlos was able to get one of those days off. Carlos also spent the day with Neva yesterday as Shelly went to collaborate with the speech-path who will be substituting for her for the first quarter of the school year. And, to never let us doubt how big she is getting, she slept through the night Monday night!

Right now Shelly is so greatful she doesn't have to go back to work full time for another 9 weeks, and Carlos and Shelly are both excited for Neva's uncle Kiks to visit next weekend! Neva is excited to be holding her head up longer and longer each day!

Last month of summer

We are enjoying this, the last month of summer, and trying to ignore the signs that summer is coming to a close.

Neva is growing bigger and stronger. She is holding her head up better and longer everday. Size 2 diapers already! Sleeping (and pooping) less during the day and more at night. She loves visiting with her Auntie Kit and her soft blue puppy slippers fit perfectly.
