Update from Hospital

Well, it has been almost 48 hours since we first greeted Dutch.  During that time Dutch's activities have included fine dining at his favorite fast-food hangout (Mom) where he has been getting all colostrum (which will contribute to superman-like immunity), getting diapers changed, and watching Mom and Dad watch him (don't those two have anything better to do than just stand there looking at me all day?). 
Yesterday around noon the doctor performed the circumcision which, instead of putting him in a bad mood, had the alternate effect of - "I'm going to just sleep the rest of the day and won't be interested in eating until I get over the trauma."  Mom and Dad found this quite disconcerting, but Dutch finally came around about 6:30 PM, got back into the swing of eating, and has been going strong since then.
We are hoping to be heading home around midday tomorrow (Thursday) and Dad is planning on avoiding the crazy drivers on IH-35 through Austin and will take a more scenic route through the Capital City on broad boulevards with a maximum speed limit of 30 mph.  Here are a few more images collected over the last 36 hours.





Look how good Dad has gotten at swaddling me.  He even managed to get both my arms wrapped up this time.

Dutch's 4th Birthday Party

Image
For Dutch's birthday we decided to go to San Angelo and visit with Dan's family.  We had a great time! I think Dutch had a good time too, he definitely enjoyed his birthday party. We arrived Thursday evening with a couple of HUNGRY little boys.  After we got them fed they played for a bit and then it was time for bed.  On Friday we just hung out around the house and prepared for his birthday on Saturday.  We did go out for dinner to Catfish Corner though...YUM!  I, of course, did not have catfish.  I usually get their chicken strips which are really good, but this time I went with a cheeseburger and it was really good too.  Everyone else had their catfish and said it was delicious.  Dan decided to do one over on them.  He ordered the 'All You Can Eat' plate, but he refused to fill up on the sides, he went full on with the catfish.  I think he stuffed down about 12 pieces! On Saturday, we got right to work getting things ready for tha...

Unexpected Adventure

Image
We went to hang out in the river at the Berry's house after nap time.  They have a great spot that is only a few inches deep, is covered in smooth rocks, and the water flows nicely.  The boys really like it there, especially when they are allowed to throw rocks. While we were there a few weeks ago the wind picked up.  I handed Baker to Dan so I could get out of the water.  The wind made Baker cold and he was clinging to Dan so tight!  They made their way back to the car while I got Dutch out of the water.  By the time Dutch and I got to the car Baker was sitting in the open trunk wearing Dan's shirt. Once we go the boys dried off a bit we got into the car.  Soon the rain started.  We had so much fun sitting in the car watching the rain! It was a wonderfully unexpected adventure.

On the Train!

Image
Dutch and I went for our first train ride today.  We had a blast!  Dutch loved every minute of it, he was all wide eyes and smiles.  He named all the train cars we saw (he chose names from his How to Train a Train book).  Our train car was named Nathan.  Santa made an appearance about half way through the two hour trip.  A little while later Mrs. Claus gave us some yummy sugar cookies.  It was an awesome day and I'm so glad I was able to share it with Dutch! {We've got our tickets, now we have to wait to board the train} {Dutch got very cold while we waited} {Finally, we are on the train} {They read us a story about the train ride} {Santa!} {Santa gave him a train whistle, all the kids were blowing them on the train} {Mrs. Claus is handing out cookies} {We are on our way back to the station}
