12 weeks: Family, Friends, Football

I'm realizing that it might be hard to update this blog weekly as I might run out of things to say...Carmen, Randy's mom, asked me last week what Trey and I do during the day and luckily I was able to respond by email so I had a few minutes to think about it...ummmmmm.....Trey naps, eats, smiles, coos, naps, eats, smiles, coos...I feed Trey, try to get Trey to nap, look at Trey, talk to Trey, engage Trey...you get the idea.  We continue to leave the house at least once a day (usually for a walk or a coffee date) but I am spending a lot of time alone with my two month old which leads to a lot...and I mean A LOT...of downtime.

One of the many things that I love about staying home with this baby is that I have the chance to connect with friends who I may not otherwise connect with.  Last week I finally met up with Mindy, a friend from college, who also just had a baby.  I love meeting up with new moms and gabbing about boring stuff like napping and breastfeeding!  I also discovered a new park (thanks to Jen) up at the Rose Garden and hope to visit it again soon.

Trey's first time "facing out" in the Baby Bjorn.  Being as curious as he is, this was a great way for me to spend time with Jen while Trey was entertained watching people.

Trey with Jen.  This expression seems to be "Enough with the pictures, mom..."

Trey got to spend the weekend with Grandpa Gerts in Leaburg.  I love seeing the love between them!  We enjoyed some great family time with my dad, Sandy, Julie and Tim; some great time on the deck by the river; some great Duck football; and, of course, great banana pancakes.  Sandy always takes such good care of us!

Enjoying nap time out on the deck.  

Right in front of that tree by the river is where Randy and I said our wedding vows.

Trey also got to meet the rest of Sarah Long's family (Anna wore a special outfit just for our visit).  He spent his first Bronco game with two true Bronco fans in his special Bronco outfit.  Go Broncos!

Cute husband and cute baby...I have a bad feeling this is what the next several Sundays will look like.
