Fun with Family

Neva has had a smile for everyone in her family. Here are some of her favorite people, including her cousin Liliana who is just two months older than her- though she wasn't sure about the kiss.

Christmas in Denver

Baby's first Christmas has been delightful with Neva smiling at every new face and bringing joy to all. Here are just a few snapshots of our first few days here.

Lots and lots of snow!

It has been snowing for two days here! It is light and fluffy and fun for all.

We leave for Denver Saturday to see family and friends for the holidays.

Fun with feet

Neva has been perfecting her newest skill all day. Adorable

Height and Weight

Neva had her 6 month check up today. She is 16.5 pounds and 27.75 inches long! She is in the 97th percentile for height. We are so thankful for our happy healthy baby.

Friday in the snow

Jaron and Laura brought a baby backpack for us. We got Neva in her size large snowsuit and stuffed her in there. She was quite content to ride along with papa. She stayed warm even with snow flakes on her face. The snow was perfect for snowmen- the photos are a little out of order but you get the idea!

Thanksgiving

We just snaped two photos of the dinner portion of thanksgiving day. The time eating was very enjoyable for all. Mom's sweet potatoes were a big hit as well as Kit's homemade rolls and bluebarb pie.

Lots of adorable pictures

Thanksgiving Day morning. Neva is sitting up! and we went for a walk in the snow: Neva with dad in the Maya Wrap staying warm and able to keep an eye on the dog.

Formula, Friends, and Frozen

It's fifteen below right now in the Butte Alaska. The boots my mom bought Neva are coming in handy as we try to keep her warm when we go out. Friends Jaron and Laura were here from Soldotna this weekend and are planning on joining us for Thanksgiving also. Neva is learning to drink her own milk. We're using fast flow nipples now and she's eating a combination of breast milk, formula and food throughout the day. Some diluted prune juice also as we try and get her poops going. Carlos made a bunch of baby food today and some yummy tortilla soup for us. He is working some extra hours at the meat shop in the evenings Mon.-Wed. to keep up with the holiday rush. We are going to get a smoked turkey! and I'm going to secure some pumpkin cheesecake. Yum!
