Father's Day and Mariah's dedication

We had a wonderful father's day yesterday. Mariah woke up at 6 am and after a quick feed we snuck out to the grocery store to get food to make Daddy breakfast in bed. We made him crepes with strawberries, blueberries and whip cream with turkey sausage on the side and a vanilla double shot from the Starbucks in the grocery store. Daniel was very surprised and enjoyed his breakfast very much. He also got a card from Mariah. She helped me pick it out at Target. I held up two cards and bought the one that she looked at longer. It was a cute bright colored card with a big cartoon animal on it. We gave daddy concert tickets for father' day. Then we went to church and we dedicated Mariah. It is very similar to a baptism, except they put annointing oil on the baby instead of water because we baptize at a later age in our church. It was very special and we had our whole family up on stage with us. Mariah also wore a very cute outfit, it was a little big on her but she looked very cute! Then we went to lunch at TGI fridays to celebrate her dedication and Father's day. I was sooo tired so my parents offered to take her for the afternoon so we could take a nap because Daniel had a late gig last night. It was wonderful getting a 2 hour nap, and Grammy and Grandpa enjoyed having Mariah over. After we picked Mariah up we went out to dinner with Daniel's dads side of the family. I feel like all we did we eat yesterday,lol! SHe slept through the whole meal because she was awake a lot in the afternoon. But she did get her first balloon animal. It was elmo (even though it didnt look a lot like elmo). But all in all it was a great day. Here are a bunch of pictures from yesterday and this past week.

3 weeks old!

I havent posted in a while...that's what having a newborn does to you I guess. Mariah is doing well. She is almost 8 1/2 pounds already! Soon we will be using size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes instead of newborn. My little girl is growing fast. She is such a happy baby. It is nice because we all are starting to fall into a routine, and she is getting more on a schedule. At night she falls asleep at 8:30. Wakes up at 11:30, 3, and 6:30, so I am managing to get some sleep. I try to take a nap a few times a week which helps. We also had some problems with a gassy tummy this week but discovered something wonderful called gripe water. It is all natural and soothes her stomach so well! It is amazing. Here is a funny story from this week for you all to read: Yesterday I was watching my 2 year old niece Gabby, and we were all watching Dumbo and eating popcorn when I turned around to get my water from the kitchen and I look and Gabby put a piece of popcorn in Mariah's mouth. Mariah had these wide eyes and funny look on her face like what the heck is this? Daniel and I have decided to wait atleast 3 years before our next one now... 2 year olds and a newborn is exhausting! Here are some pictures from the past few weeks:
