My Baby is 2 months old and the lights go out in Vegas!

My baby turned 2 months old on Saturday. She is getting so big!! James took me on our first date since having her on Saturday too. Shelby spent about 4 hours with our friend Laura Mayo while we went out. It was our first time going somewhere without her with us and it was kinda weird. I have gotten used to just having Shelby with us now. We went to the movies and saw Knowing with Nicholas Cage. It was a strange movie, especially at the end when it started having kinda a Scifi twist to it. We then went to eat at the Elephant Bar and then James took me to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream parlor. So good. Shelby did great with Laura and had a good time.

That night Las Vegas also particiapted in Earth Hour. At 830pm they turned out the lights on the Strip and also turned off the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. I guess that was the first time the sign had ever been turned off. We went up to The District to watch the lights get turned off. It was kinda cool.

We had a great weekend and are getting very excited to see family!!

Church and Bedtime Routine

We took Shelby to church for the first time a couple of Sunday's ago. She did really good. We dressed her up in one of the fancy dresses that daddy picked out for her. She looked so cute. Then last Sunday she wore the dress the her Aunt Jeanna sent her. I can't believe how big she is getting. We had to put away her newborn clothes already.

She also slept through the night a couple of nights ago. I didn't even realize that she hadn't gotten up until it was 5am. We have a pretty good routine down now. We give Shelby her bath between 8 and 9pm and then I feed her really good and then we put her down. She loves her bath time and I think she knows now that when she gets her bath that it is time for bed.

We are also looking forward to seeing family in about a month for Shelby's blessing. It will be nice to have almost everyone her to support us. We will miss the family that is unable to come but know that you will be here with us in Spirit.

Latest Happenings

So here are some of the things that have been happening around our house lately.

James took Shelby and I to Red Rock Canyon last weekend. I was really wanting to get out of the house and so we decided to go for a picnic. It was really nice and a beautiful area.

Shelby also got her first scratch. She never holds still long enough for me to cut her nails. I thought I had finally got them cut and then James showed me her nose.
