Visiting part II

Uncle Forrest talking to Rosaleen
As I alluded to in my last post, we went to San Diego to visit Uncle Forrest, Aunt Jen, cousin Cater and brand new cousin Camdyn. We had a great trip! Luckily we timed the car rides well and Rosaleen slept a lot during our drive times.

Baby cousin Camdyn


This was the McLernon family’s first time meeting little cousin Camdyn who was just over a month old, and Rosaleen’s first time meeting Uncle and Auntie and cousin Carter (almost two years old). With three little ones we kept busy, even with four adults.



Cousins Carter & Rosaleen

Carter was so sweet to the little girls. He was gentle and very helpful. He sweetly gave Rosaleen her pacifier many times. He is going to be such a good big brother (and cousin). Although Carter has a lot of energy he knew to slow down and be careful around the babies. We did a little photo shoot of the girls when Carter was at school. It was hard to coordinate, but the girls’ beauty shined through. While we were there Rosaleen also got to use Carter’s toys from when he was baby. Rosa loved it.
The Girls!



With all the traveling Rosa’s sleeping habits got a little spun around. She started waking up multiple times per night trying to get into our bed. In general her tactics worked. Our first night home was the same multiple wake-up story. Lucky for mommy and daddy, she seems to have gone back to her old routine of sleeping in her bassinet all night (with a feed break at oneish and fourish) and then a wake up at about five to get snuggled. I do think that her one am wake up is more for snuggles than for food, but I don’t mind.

Enjoy the San Diego pictures!

This week Grandma Jill is here and next week Grandma and Grandpa Mott are visiting!  What an exciting summer Rosa is having.

Rosaleen Grace McLernon is here!

Hi all, it's Ben.  I told Sunny I would never blog…so... Here are a few pictures of MY DAUGHTER! She is so perfect! I cannot believe she is here and I can hold her. Sunny is the best mommy ever and we are having so much fun and love with little Rosaleen. Now I know what it feels like. Parents always say they cannot describe how it feels. Well, I really can’t either. Words don’t express enough. Rosaleen is perfect, sweet, beautiful, HUNGRY (eats like a little barracuda), wonderful, great...I can go on! She will make you cry if you look at her face to long, just warning you. Sunny’s water broke at 12:30 a.m. on February 11. We had nothing ready to go. Sunny called her mom, while I packed everything in like 30 seconds. We weren’t expecting her to come and surprise us for Valentines Day. We finally got to the hospital at around 2 a.m. I watched the entire delivery and it was amazing. As soon as she was here, the midwife placed her on Sunny’s chest and we got her all to our se...

12 week ultrasound picture

Attached is the 12 week ultrasound picture that I mentioned in the previous post. You can see above the head is a hand and if you zoom in you can even see fingers. To the other side, up above the baby you see a little thing. That is a foot. In the ultrasound the baby was kicking her legs and moving-- put when the picture was taken, the leg was out of sight, so you just see the foot up top. But I promise- that is a little footsie. SO CUTE! In other news, my very sweet mother sent me a set of new maternity clothes today—AND I really need them. I had to wear a suit to work today for a meeting- and it was terrible. I had rubber bands and safety pins holding up my pants but it still wasn’t working. By the time the end of the day came I was so stressed and uncomfortable I couldn’t take it. What a perfectly timed surprise to find new clothes on my door step. Thanks Mom.

Lazy Summer (not)

Image
Sitting up in the back yard!  It has been a busy week here. Rosa has not been sleeping great.  Last night she fell asleep next to daddy with a hand full of his hair.  The car has been in the shop all week. They still can't seem to fix it right.  Rosaleen is almost a pro at rolling all over the place. Once you put her down, she doesn’t stay put for long. Also, her attention span is starting to get a little longer, so she can occupy herself for longer periods of time—maybe 20 minutes or so on a good day.  If she drops something she will look down looking for it and can follow things around now.  Her favorite things to watch are Fred (the cat) and Casha (the dog).  She squeels in delight when she sees Casha. We are still giving Rosa rice cereal.  Yesterday Ben gave her sweet peas. She loved them.  There is a video of her eating at the bottom. MMMMMMMMM!  Ben and Rosa are still staying home ...
