Introducing Baby Gideon

We went to the hospital on Wed. so I could be induced. After about 5 1/2 hours our new baby was born. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19 inches long.
Alayna liked him for a little while and then handed him off to her aunt Amy.
Grandpa and Grandma came to the hospital!
We are glad to be home and enjoying our new baby. And not sleeping at night. That is one of the joys of having a newborn.

Pony Ride

Alayna loves "neigh-neigh's"!Alayna got to ride a pony on Monday. She did a good job.
Thanks to the ward nursery leader-Carol.

We are waiting for more pictures of her riding a horse at our bishop's house during my baby shower last Saturday.

Alayna found the Pacifiers

The other day Alayna was playing in her room and found the pacifiers. She never used the pacifiers as an infant, yet now they are great. I think she has seen her baby cousin using the pacifier, so they are new and interesting. This is her at nap time. (she had four with her) She doesn't carry the pacifier around and I don't think this will become a habit.

Home made tents

Did you make blanket tents as a kid? Well one day we were visiting the Nally's and they had made blanket tents. So now we get to make "tents". Alayna loves to play under the blankets. Her dad doesn't' mind making the tents for her. They are watching a movie in the tent right now! Alayna carried the little sofa she got for Christmas to the tent by herself.
