Dallas + february

around january/february prim started to get fussy around 6pm until she went to bed. she would cry if anyone but me would hold her. my theory is that from birth until then so many people had held her for me that she just wanted to be with her mommy. at either her 2 or 4 month appointment we talked to her doctor about it and she recommended we start putting her to bed earlier because maybe that's all she wanted. we started putting her down at 8 instead of 9 and it really did help!

we went to dallas the first week of february to visit john and kat before they moved to arizona for the summer.

 this is a no judgement zone everybody. prim loves to fall asleep like this. she will fuss and fuss until we put a blanket over her face and she'll go right to sleep.

aw two bald babies. while kat stayed home and watched the babe, the three of us went to hot yoga. it was so hard....and hot :)

 stephanie and thad had a ball to attend so they stayed in a hotel and we (kat mostly) watched their kids. steph kept her eyes peeled for a bloom highchair for sale and found us one! much to our delight, she gifted it to us!!!!!! she is so sweet.

 i can't remember why i took this photo, i think it was chuy's? whatever it was, it was yummy. steph and thad live in downtown dallas so they're in walking distance to everything.

 we were up there over Super Bowl weekend. we had been inside all day and i finally talked them into going geocaching for fresh air! jon, thad and i with primmy went along this little walkway to find some caches which we actually never found. it was lined with bamboo! it was so cool, we could hear it growing.......

 i rarely ever offer to people "do you want to hold the baby", usually because i don't think about it and i guess i figure they'll ask if they want to. thad asked to hold her so many times on sunday and was sooo cute with her. she was still in her fussy state but she was really happy with him. i love when men love babies.
the weekend as a whole was tons of fun! we love spending time with john and kat and our recent reuniting with stephanie+thad+babies has been awesome.

 

 this is prim's new thing. yowtch!!!

 doesn't this look like a professional photo? i worked with cassidy at pure posh and she was actually the first friend i told that we were expecting. she totally guessed it "you're eating AGAIN?? why are you so hungry..???" prim loves miss keke!

 life on the farm. john and kathy killing our roosters for sunday lunch.

 prim and i went to a baby shower for THREE pure posh ladies. she was so fussy most of the night but loved miss andrea so much (can't you tell? haha)

 such a cuddly little baby. she would fall asleep on me like this almost every night.

 little neck!!!!!!!

i took this photo for my sisters and when i looked at it, it was clear she had a receding hairline and a bob.

 we walked along the river walk and found these beautiful art pieces! who knew!

 our neighbors cowwies had three babies!!!!! she invited me over the night one was born so i could just take it in, and i did. i really did.

 

 we promote independence and fresh air. ;)

 our valentines day baby in the shirt from papa! we went out to dinner and took the babe and each took turns standing and holding her while the other ate. true romance.

so much mail!!!!

 this sick thing always finds the worst places to lay, poor neglected kitty.

 this is the first time i wore her facing out and i think she dug it. look at her little ears. the weather was starting to get nice, so we were spending more and more time outside.

 my favorite jammies.

 we took primrose to the san antonio rodeo in her little cowgirl outfit from mike and kim! people couldn't help but stare at her with those headphones on, haha. the vibrating of the speakers put her right to sleep and she slept through most of it.

 this is the only time she liked this swing. waste of money.

 our pretty water baby.

and the piece de resistance of the month, her passport came in the mail! i can't!! she is such a doll.
we have no international travel plans yet, but my passport was expiring so jon and i both got new ones and we got the baby one just. in. case.

the magic kingdom!!!

aw, we saved the best park for last. we were all happy and ready to get the day started!

jason told us that the magic kingdom is set up higher than ground level. underneath the whole park is a tunnel system to help all of the characters get where they need to be without walking in the open through the park. he also said that sometimes it'll be raining in the other parks, but the weather will be perfect in the magic kingdom...

we went on a few rides before getting in line for the Be Our Guest Restaurant. it was a long wait, but the interior was worth it! we ate in the ballroom and walked through the beasts area that had the rose and his portrait. i would recommend this to everyone because it really was as though we were in the castle, it was awesome! the only unfortunate thing was i waited too long to tell jon that i was hungry. so by the time we got in line, placed our order then sat and got our food i was soo sick. i just felt like i wanted to lay down and/or throw up. that's about when he gave me a firm talking to about getting food when i'm hungry and not waiting. yes sir! 

jon and gaston!

it was so much fun to be here with Jon. we have many fond memories at disneyland, so although this was different, it felt very similar. 

robinson's.

john took this to come back and show kat the menu while she waited in line. i think it'll be a cool picture down to line to show the prices. people always complain about how expensive disney park food is but jon and i think it's great compared to sea world!

dole whip. heaven in a bowl. my pregnant self can't handle this picture.

this was on big thunder mountain. i decided to go on it and although it wasn't too jerky, it made me really sick. the gang wanted to go on it again so i just waited and watched the fireworks.

Jon took this picture as they were ascending on the roller coaster. he said it was amazing to be riding the roller coaster while the fireworks were exploding in the sky.

all in all, this trip was awesome. kat and john were great company and of course, any time with jon is perfect in my eyes. i want to go back already and experience it all again!
