My Surprise Birthday

Anyway, so on my birthday my dad tells me we need to meet up with the owner of Golfland to discuss another project we are going to do for them. We go over at about 3:30 which is late and I wanna get home. I thought people were coming over for a BBQ. Anyway, in walks Bea, Cosmo and Jenn, Wood, and Sean with an ice chest. Chunk and Sloth showed up a little bit later. So they proceed to set up this cake right there. I don't know how she did such a good job of setting me up, but it was way good, I was completely clueless.



Just a few shots of the fun we had. This is Cosmo coming down the Bonsai (or "Bonzi" as they call it). He cheated everytime he raced down. Jerk.











All of us screwing around after coming down the tube slides.







Look at the intense concentration on his face...all for a kids balancing game. Keep up the hard work Cosmo, one day it will get you somewhere.








Oh Wood, we shook him right off the lily pads. Good times.

Trip to Dick and Erica's

So, for my birthday we decided to take a trip to Buffalo. It had been forever since we had gone anywhere, what with being pregnant and having a baby. We were really scared of what Berlyn would do on the flight, but she slept both ways and never made a sound. Here is her first flight ever.



When we got there it was good times. Ella wanted a cookie that we were all eating and she stuffed the whole thing in her mouth and then chewed it all up and decided she didn't want it anymore and spit it out in Erica's hand. Eww gross. We made Erica hold it in her hand while we got the cameras, she wasn't too happy bout that.


While we were there we had to try out the Bumbo chair. Berlyn got a kick out of it.







The weather was really nice a couple of days while we were there and we went to Crystal beach in Cananada. It was nice, but Richard and I went out to this old pier and jumped off and we tried to swim back the long way. Richard did fine, I, on the other hand, almost drowned. Good times.

Later we decided to go to Marine Land in Canada and the weather wasn't so nice. It rained and hailed like crazy, so we spent a good hour hiding under and over hang, and then left. "Everyone loves Marine Land!"




We stopped in at Mr. Potato Heads and got my favorite Canadian food, Poutine! It of course washed away the sadness from not being able to go to Marine Land.

Then we stopped off at the falls to take a quick pic. Ooooh, look at all the water!

Then on our last day we went to eat at Friendly's, it was pretty good. They surprised me with song and ice cream at the end. Song = not so good, ice cream = delicious.

If you would like to see a much much better version of our trip go to Dick and Erica's blog. She is the blogging queen. We are definitely not worthy!

Berlyn Two Months

-Hey Berlyn,
-Do you wanna go for a walk?
( Hej Berlyn, akarsz menni setalni?)

She loves going for a walk, she gets so excited when she sees the stroller, ha-ha-ha, I am just kidding, she probably really doesn't care as long as she isn't bored.
Oh, and I put a blanket on her, just in case, you know she could freeze, it is Arizona afterall:)

( Szeret menni setalni, teljesen izgatott lesz, mikor meglatja a babakocsit, aaa, nem is, csak viccelek am, csak annyira erdekli, hogy ne unatkozzon. Es igen, raktam ra takarot, nehogy megfagyjon, ez meg is csak Arizona)

When she plays with her hands and puts them in her mouth she gags sometimes, so I put that toy in her hand.

(Amikor a kezeivel jatszik, akkor neha ledugja oket, es hany, szoval a kezebe raktam egy jatekot)

She loves tummy time...for about two minutes, then she reacts as seen in the photo above
(Szeret a hasan tolteni az idot, kb. ket percig. Aztan az tortenik, ami a fenti kepen lathato.)

The typical path of digression

Not a care in the world, happy as can be

Not quite sure, somewhere between a smile and a "it's getting old now"

The infamous eye rub,

it's coming... wait for it...wait...

And here it is, the crying

And finally, of course, out like a light

Berlyn hitting 7 weeks

Kaya watching over tummy time

Just having a good ol' time

Momma said, "knock you out!"

Berlyn a whole 5 weeks

Trying out tummy time.

It's a blob, it's a turd, NO, It's Superbaby!

Just hanging out, getting some R&R in front of the tube.

On the 28th of April our little one started to smile at us finally, and not because she just filled up her diaper with a big surprise.

Russian Fun, comrade

So, Bea was surfing the Interweb and found this Russian page where you can stick your pictures in funny spots. I am thinking that they may not have heard of photo shop yet, but it is still pretty fun to play around with. This would be Russian Parlament or whatever you call it.

Some random billboard.

Some weird kids checking out posters of Bea.

There was one more she did of me plastered all over a virtually naked girl, but I used my better judgment and decided not to post that one here.

More of Berlyn

Berlyn just checking her bulging biceps out. Hercules, Hercules!

Just after bath time, so fresh and so clean clean!

So, Kaya is always wanting to check our Berlyn. She will inch her way to get closer and closer to her. She stares and does a lot of sniffing, with wide eyes. I have concluded that either she is being protective and is really interested in Berlyn and the new smells and what not or she wants to eat her. That is the only other time I have seen her act like that, is around food.
Spencer and Celinda's baby, Abby. What a happy kid, she kept posing for the camera.

Bet you can't guess, it took me a while to remember what she was doing here.

Berlyn's Second Doctor Visit

Well, we went to Berlyn's second doctor visit thinking that she might have gained a few ounces or something. They threw her on the scale and from her birth weight she gained exactly a pound, more if you count the fact that she lost quite a bit at first. She is gonna be a little chubster. Oh, and she grew an inch too? That isn't all that exact, but still.

Berlyn a Whole Two Weeks Old!

Look at that round face. Startin' to turn into a chubby wubby, and not a lick of looks from her daddy.

Don't know what she is doing with that arm; maybe she has an imaginary friend or something. It's funny how you have to throw yourself in front of their gaze otherwise they would never be looking at you.

Now, ain't that just adorable?!

Grab and force that head to look the right way! She has got a strong neck for a little booger, she can turn that thing this way and that.

Woohoo! There it is! I finally found it! It's the only thing that she got from daddy. Look at that thing, it definitely didn't come from mammy. I am quite proud to be able to pass on that well-known ginormous tongue I have. From me, it's the best thing she could have gotten!

Berlyn Mae Wiltbank

By the time we went to the hospital at about 4am Bea ended up being dialated to a 4. She didn't stay there long though, she went to an 8 in about two and a half hours. Bea was progressing too fast and needed to slow things down so she get could get another dose of medicine she needed, so when she got the epidural put in it helped. She was able to sleep and get her other dose and get ready for the pushin.

I had to get the two of us at some point,

and by the looks of it she hadn't received the epidural yet.

Yay, our first picture together and I basically have my eyes closed (we have another one but Bea has hers closed).

Baby Berlyn! She looks so much like a Peli in this picture (good for her cause if she got too much of my looks she would be in trouble)!
