Colorado Family Vacation

Here we are on our family vacation with the Bellican family...Anthony's first real vacation. We spent most of our time in Breckenridge, Colorado. The mountains were beautiful--they still had snow on the peaks. We went white water rafting, horseback riding, and hiking. Anthony got loved on by his Meme and Papa and all of his aunts and uncles as well as Nana and Meme#2 (Peggy and Delle). What a blast! Here are some pics of the week...

Anthony visiting with Aunt Jan and Uncle Neal...they took such good care of us both before and after our trip!!!

Anthony's first time hiking the trails. You'll see how much he enjoyed it in the next pic.

Passed out after the first 10 minutes!!! We went on to hike another hour and a half!

Horseback riding with the whole family (that's Josh way up there in the red shirt)

Here's Mar bringing up the rear. This activity brought out his "inner cowboy".

Here's Anthony on the flight home...what a trooper! He smiled the whole time...even when our original flight got cancelled and we spent 6 hours at the airport!!!

Well, that's our trip in a nutshell. Can't wait to see you all again soon!!!

Push Ups

Here's a cute pic of Anthony doing his "push ups" during tummy time. He's getting stronger every day!!!

So Behind!!!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated. What a whirlwind this past month has been! We've had a blast traveling...All three of us visited Chicago and then Anthony and I went on to visit Memphis while Mario went to Europe. Here are some pictures of our recent visits...

We all had so much fun, didn't we??? Miss you guys!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day!!! Anthony had a beautiful card and necklace waiting for me when I woke up (with Daddy's help, of course!). ;) After church, we had a quiet picnic in the park. It was so peaceful. Anthony played on our blanket...this is him wearing Daddy's sunglasses!!! :) After he fell asleep, Mario and I played catch. Later that night we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner and a piece of cheesecake! We had to take the cheesecake to go because someone was getting fussy (and it wasn't Mario)!!! All in all, it was a fantastic Mother's Day...we had so much fun!

Our little guy

We just thought this was a cute picture of Anthony. This is the only toy he can hold!!! Look at those chubby cheeks...so kissable! He loves playing on his changing table...that's where he is here. We can't wait to see everyone soon!

Birth Control

Hey everyone! We just wanted to share with you all the "other side" of parenting :) This is a photo of our last two nights with beautiful, sweet, peaceful Anthony at bedtime. Enjoy!!!!

Anthony's 2 month checkup

Anthony had his 2 month checkup at 10:00 this morning, and he did great!!! Here are his stats...He weighed 10#8oz (25th percentile), his length was 22 3/4 inches (50th percentile), and his head measured 37 cm (10th percentile). He's doing fantastic on both his size and development. He is functioning at a range of 3 months and 2 weeks to 4 months and one week. Dr. Goebel says he's a little advanced for his age! (But we're not bragging or anything) ;) He had two vaccinations in his thighs plus an oral vaccine. We decided to split things up so it wouldn't be so much all at once. I'll take him back next week to get the other three vaccines...there are so many at this age! He cried a little, but recovered very quickly, and by the time we got to the car he was smiling again! :) He's pretty tough! So, we're going to take it easy the rest of the day because those little legs are going to be pretty sore. Here's a picture of him sleeping last night with his bunny...
