Firsts!

We have been at our new place for a little over a week now and of course we're still trying to get organized! We'll get there though.

Our new place has some pros and cons. One of the cons being the airplanes that fly overhead but it hasn't been too bad. We lived on an ambulance route once and that was much worse!

One of the pros is that the beach is about a mile away! Steph came for a visit on Wednesday and we all went over to the beach and to eat at Kelly's! They have one of the best Roast Beef Sandwiches I have had as well as a pretty awesome Reuben. We ordered our food and then ate under the canopy that is set up with benches. David loved chasing the seagulls and dancing to the music from the passing cars.





After we ate we took David down to the water. He has been to the beach before but never stuck his toes in the ocean! The water was FREEZING and so after David put his feet in once he didn't want to do it again. He had fun running up and down the beach and using his toes to make designs in the sand.



Now that Shaun's belly button is all healed we decided to give him his first bath in the sink. I thought he was going to scream his head off, but he surprised me and only fussed a little.



I have decided to nickname him "Ziggy Piggy" because if he isn't sleeping then he is eating, and he'll let you know when he is hungry! You'd think I starved this kid the way he is constantly begging to be fed! Check out his "but Mommy I am SO hungry - please feed me" face!



Today is the Doc's first day as a Fellow. He is currently at his orientation and so this is my official first day as a full time Mommy. So far so good but it's only 8:15am. I can't believe he is in his last phase of training before he is finally done. It just seems like yesterday that we were at Dartmouth with Ben and Robyn. Ben starts his OB fellowship this week as well. They are leaving for NY tomorrow...good luck with your move!

Time to get the boys ready to go visit my nephew Scottie. He spent his weekend in the hospital with an infection resulting in an emergency surgery to have the infected cyst removed along with his appendix. Hopefully he gets to come home today.

hey wick's family!!! how are you settling?? Are you sooo happy to be home? Dave and I are ecstatic about being in our own place. It's beginning to feel a lot like home now that we've put our stamp on the place!!! I can't wait for you guys to come and see it now that it's a little more homey looking! How is everything going with shaun?? are you still nursing him?? How is david with that? does he wonder what you are doing?? haha, i know justin used to wonder, and i actually caught justin trying to nurse cohen!!! It kinda shocked me at first then i realized they don't understand! So, i explained that only mommy's breast feed!!! HEHEHE! How is the big boy bed going? We're thinking about getting cohen a little toddler bed soon, he does well in our bed when he falls asleep as far as getting up and getting off of it, so i'm still skeptical, but it's gonna happen soon, plus we're on one floor so we can gate the hall way off at night and then he can only go into his room and or our room!!! Let me know how it goes and what i should look for.

hope all is well. Come and see us soon!!!
