What I'd do over again..

If I could go back to the beginning of when Colette was born I would do things a little different. For example, I wouldn't take the lactationist word as law. (nipple confusion is a myth I think) I would say to the hospital nurses, yes, give my baby a Binky and yes, give her a bottle during the night so I can sleep. If I did this, then she might take one or both of those things. That way I can step away for a while and let Nick or a babysitter be able to feed her. Well, enough blogging- I need to get back to trying and breaking the Binky in. Wish me luck!

July 4th

(This is of the glow sticks everyone had..just took it with time lapse on my camera)

We had a great July 4th this year. It started off with me running my frist 5k since being pregnant. (not that good of an idea so soon..but I did it!) Then we went over to my sister Elise's house where Nick and I played tennis, then went swimming, ate a delicious steak dinner where I sat at the kid's table and learned some interesting things about my nieces and nephews. So fun! After that we played 2-step, had dessert, and all headed out front for a first time ever in Utah, aerial firework show!! oooohhhh. It was really fun and I made sure to plug Colette's ears the whole time. What a great day it was.

Grandma Lola

Grandma Lola is here visiting and it's always a nice time when Grandma is here. At 92, Colette is her 25th (?) great grand child. What a legacy she is leaving behind!
