2 Months Old!!!

Ramsey had his 8 week check up on Friday. The doctor said he is absolutely perfect. He really gained some ground in catching up with his weight. He now weighs 11 pounds and 4 ounces, which is the 41st percentile. This is up from the 6th percentile at birth! He is 22.5 inches, the 35th percentile, up from the 12 percentile at birth. The circumference of his head is still on the small side at 15 inches which is only the 12th percentile. I guess he gets that from me.

Mother's Day moms

Mother's Day in Logan, Utah was bathed in sunshine and tulips! We exchanged gifts and dined at a fancy hotel, serving a luscious buffet. The outdoor seating along the Logan River was peaceful and scenic. Enhancing the day, we gathered up Bruno and Stanley, for a hike on the RiverTrail in Logan Canyon. Uncle Doug, Ramsey, Julie, and Nema reveled in the beauty of mountains all around us. A wonderful day we shared!

Visit from Aunt Sammy and Second Trip to the Desert

Aunt Sammy came out from Boston to visit her new nephew for a week. We all took a trip down to Moab for a few days. Sam got to try canyoneering for the first time, while Ramsey and mom took a stroll down Park Avenue (one of the hikes in Arches National Park). We checked out the rest of the park, as well as Canyonlands, and the winery. A good time was had by all.

This is 5 and a half week old Ramsey at Double Arch in Arches.
Ramsey ht a milestone in Moab by rolling over from front to back. Now if we can just get it on video...

Four Weeks Old!

Four weeks have already gone by since Ramsey's birth. This means that my maternity leave is half over :(
We've decided to stop contributing to the landfills and start Ramsey on cloth diapers. This is him in his first cloth diaper. These are hand-me-downs from a friend - even better for the environment!

First trip to the desert!

Ramsey overlooking the water pocket fold and Henry Mountains at Capitol Reef National Park in southern Utah. We did a 127 mile scenic loop through the park and to Anasazi State Park. Ramsey's first hike was a 2 mile round trip hike to Hickman Natural Bridge. He slept the whole way. He received many comments from passers by such as, "best seat in the house." "youngest hiker on the trail," anf "first trip to the desert!"

2 Week update

Here is Ramsey in his fancy "chariot". It can be used as a stroller, jogger, has a bike attachment, and even ski attachments. At the 2 week check up Ramsey weighed in at 6 lbs. 15 oz. and had grown an inch and a half to 19 and a half inches. He's in the 12th percentile, but still growing.

A big event happened yesterday....Ramsey's umbilical cord fell out to reveal a cute little inny belly button.
