Truman, Mom and I visited friends and family in Amarillo. It was Truman's first road trip and he did great. He slept the entire 7 hour drive, except for feedings! While in Amarillo, we stayed at the Lowrance Hotel and enjoyed exceptional hospitality! Truman met his great grandmother, Mimi. Truman and I both played dress up while we were there, too. I tried on my grandmother's 1920's outfit while Truman dressed in his "recruit" outfit along side his great uncle, Barry!
Kayla and Steve were able to come meet Truman when he was just 6 weeks old! We had a wonderful time with them. These pictures are from a hike we did to the highest point in Highlands Ranch!
I can't explain to you the joy I feel deep in my soul when I am at Washington Park! What a wonderful hour...with my 3 favorites: Jason, Truman and Astro walking around the park with all the other Wash Park enthusiasts!!
Our Doula, Heather at our post-partum visit. If you are even thinking of doing a no drug birth, seriously consider a doula. And, if you live in Denver, Heather is the best!!
We spent a couple of nights with my mom and dad in Fort Collins for Christmas. We enjoyed delicious food, a ping-pong tournament, scrabble tournament, kings in the corner and other games. Thanks to mom and dad for their hospitality!!
We were blessed to have Jason's parents as well as both of his grandmothers for a week over the Christmas Holiday. This was Nanny's first great grandchild and Mimi's 4th. Jason took them to Estes Park on the 24th before heading to my parent's home.

We settled in to NO routine and enjoyed visits from family and friends over the first couple of weeks. Thanks to the Conley's, Chittendon's, Rom's and Webb's for delicious meals and thanks to Kate and Jen for the amazing care package. Truman received his first sponge bath from Jason and I. I was able to get out a couple of times and leave Truman with Jason or my mom. I never thought going to Bosom Buddies would be so fun! Truman melted our hearts and looked like an enchilada or burrito all swaddled!
The first thing I did upon arrival home was to sit down and have a good cry! After that, we introduced Truman to Astro. Astro was and still is a little afraid of Truman. Jason brought home beautiful roses for me and my mom treated me like a Queen...cooking and cleaning and pretty much taking care of me while I took care of Truman. Truman went out for the first time when we took him to meet his pediatrician. He weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces and she said he was "perfect"!
