There has been a lot going on. I will try to go in order of events but I may stray.
Well the month of April started out with us visiting Bry's family. It was E's first long car ride and she did wonderful. It was a tad long and she started getting tired of always being in the car seat but she did it. It was an 11 hour drive. It was well worth it because she had the whole family (minus one uncle) there to play with.(well play the best she could at 3 months.) She had dad help her roll Easter eggs down the hill, he helped her pick up her Easter at Grandma O. and of course he helped her eat all the candy. OK I guess I had some to but it was rationed. Can't tell if she really liked to do the outdoor stuff because we had to be bundled but I know she loved being held by everyone. We spent 4 days there and came home for a small break Bry going back to work/school and us getting ready for our next trip.
E. had her first airplane ride. She did great, was only fussy once and had to nurse but other than that I tried to keep her binky in her mouth as much as possible to compensate for the air pressure of taking off and landing. We spent most of our time in Carson. We saw many of Grandma's tennis friends and did a lot of shopping. On nice days we would go up to Tahoe and visit some friends that I grew up with. Many have moved out of town but I still have some very good friends still there. It was a great time because they got to witness one of E's many milestones. She rolled for the first time from her back to her front. They were very excited to see it but we were all sad that Bry didn't get to see it in person so I did my best to video tape it and post it so he could see it. Of course now we can't keep her on her back she always rolls to her front which I find funny because I use to do belly time with her and she would just cry until she learned to roll off her belly then bye bye to belly time. Now she cracks me up because she will roll to her stomach, play for a little bit and then would cry. Its almost like she forgot how to roll off. Anyways, it was still cold there in Tahoe so we didn't stay outside for long periods of time, just enough to get pictures so I can show her first trip to beautiful Lake Tahoe. Also because when ever I am in town I like to get pictures. Its funny you would think I was a tourist, not someone who grew up there. The great thing I love is the nature part of Tahoe it hasn't changed and it is always beautiful. The town itself has changed so much it is hardly recognizable. Well the ten days went by so fast before we knew it, we were back on the plane heading back to Casper.
Since we have been back our main goal is to get back onto a schedule. I think we are finally there. She has been such a great baby. So content on going anywhere I go. I thought she wouldn't like coming home because there isn't as many people here to hold her and give her around the clock attention, but she does well and actually loves being on the ground now that she can roll around. She is now 4 months and it is hard to believe it has been that long since I had her. Dad is glad to have us back even though I think secretly he loved getting a good night sleep with out any interruptions, but he has had a great time holding her whenever he can.
I am looking forward to summer coming because obviously spring doesn't want to warm up. I want to go outside and take walks. But for now we will take advantage of our down time and enjoy our little girl non-mobile because time will be going fast and she will be crawling before we know it.
