Rub a dub dub....

Baby Rhea's in the tub!!! 
Her very first times in the tub she wasn't such a fan, but now.... not a peep out of her, she loves it! I LOVE the smell of clean baby, she gets a bath about every other day.




Apart from bath time, things are going very well! Last Saturday Joe, Rhea and I went to Norfolk to visit the Great Grandparents and Steve, Julie and Tricia. Rhea did great; she slept in the car, liked being held and enjoyed laying on the floor stretching out for everyone to see. Of course Great Grandpa Gary hasn't lost his touch and she took a nice nap on his snuggly belly = )  This past Friday Grandma Sue came back for a quick visit, YAY! We road tripped to Osceola, Ia for cousins Brian and Chelsie's wedding shower. Rhea did very well in the car and with all the new people! That's about it for exciting happenings around here.....

Much love to all of our blog followers = )

Baby Rhea's 6 weeks old!

So for Rhea's 6 week birthday Daddy thought we needed to celebrate in style!! So we took her out to the Christy Creme = ) Yum! For those who don't know, the Christy Creme is a delightful delicacy found only in the great city of Council Bluffs, they have 10 different flavors of sherbet ice cream that rotate. Yesterday's flavor was blackberry. It's a very special treat, we love the Christy Creme! I'm sure Rhea will love it too, no doubt ice cream runs in our blood = )

A visit from Uncle Matt

As of today, Rhea is 5 weeks and 2 days old. I'm pretty sure she's hitting a growth spurt because she is eating about every 2 hours and sleeping a lot. She is doing very well, bedtime is usually around 8 and she sleeps until 3 am. She eats and then we wake up at 7 am for the day. So as long as mommy doesn't stay up too late, I am able to get a decent amount of sleep at night. Joe is off this week and I am super excited about that!! He's a great helper and it's great to get to spend time together as a family = )  Not to mention the wonderful warm weather we are having. I've taken Rhea for a walk once this week, otherwise it's been too windy for her.

Here's a short clip from Matt's visit, enjoy!!

Lots to share this time...

         Ok, Rhea is one month old already! Oh my goodness, it went so fast! I know, everyone says it does so I shouldn't be surprised. This last week we got out of the house quite a bit more and were able to run several errands and went to Grammy Kay's for an 'End of February' party. Grandma Sue has still been here with us this week, she will be heading back to St. Louis this coming Friday. Both Mommy and Rhea have been spoiled by her very well over the last month. It will be hard to see her go, but thankfully my cousin Brian chose to get married in April so we will maybe see Grandma at the shower the end of March or for sure in April for the wedding (Rhea already has a pretty purple dress).
        Following will be her 'Week 4' slidewshow, 'month old birthday' video and 'new toys' video. Going forward I will most likely only add slideshows monthly, but will continue to upload video periodically as we take them = )  Much love to you all!
