I'm blogging again!

OK. I am going to get back to updating my blog more frequently! 

I have been spending so much of my time devoted to Colin, it seems a shame to not share it! 

So, I hope that you check back often to see what's going on!

Happy Monday!

Well, it happened! Our Colin rolled over yesterday morning. He was on his tummy, and wanted off of it so bad that he just tried and tried until he flipped himself! 

What an amazing moment to catch on camera! 

You can watch the video on the VALENTINE home page! 

Have a great week! 

Colin will be 14 weeks tomorrow....where did the time go?

Happy Tuesday!

Can you believe it? Our Colin is 8 weeks old today! 

We started our "new mother's gathering" class yesterday with Moms and Babies that were born in March & April. It was so great to get together with other "moms". 

One neat thing that I learned about in the class was something called "Monday morning mommy movies". Every Monday morning at Pacific Theaters in Pasadena, Glendale and at the Grove!

Just thought I would pass along this awesome mommy tid bit!

Holy bunco!

I had my first "mommy's night out" on Friday evening! It was hard leaving the house, but I was able to sub for my friend Karen's bunco group. 

It was so much fun! I had never played before, and all of the ladies are so nice! 

I actually won $30.00! 

I am no longer a bunco virgin! 

Thanks Karen and everyone for letting me play! 

It was so good to get back home and see my baby boy and husband asleep on the bed.

It's bath time!

OK! 

Yesterday was Colin's three week birthday, and we celebrated with giving him his first "real" bath! 

What a production! I was in charge of the actual bathing, Sean was on Video, and my Mom was supervising us both! 

He hated it at first, but then calmed down a little bit. 

It was so much fun, and I think it helped him sleep a lot better too!

Oh, and the most important thing...no one got peed on!

It's picture day!

Hello Everyone! 

I have fallen behind on my blog, but I promise that I will start being more diligent! 

We had an amazing day today! Ana Brandt came to our home today, along with her assistant Tiffany to take Colin's newborn photographs. I cannot tell you what a special and memorable experience that Ana made happen for us today. We can't wait to see the photographs. You have to check out her website: http://www.anabrandt.com

We have been doing good here at home. Colin is sleeping about three hours a time at night, and we are all getting used to his schedule. He is such a good baby, we are BLESSED! 

Yesterday, Sean was nice enough to let Mommy go and get a manicure and pedicure! It was Colin's first time at home with only Daddy. Apparently, there was a "poop" situation while I was gone and when I got back, Daddy and Colin were both shirtless and looked like little "lost boys"! It was hilarious!
