First Trip to the Cabin

Chillin' with Mommy at the cabin
Lovin' it down by the creek

Tasting the fresh air and cruising while styling in the Bean Bag (the white fleece part)

Going for a walk in the field with Daddy and Uncle Jack

Relaxing and enjoying her first fire! We sure smelled like smoke after that!

Last weekend, Alena made the trek to Fence, WI for the first time. She went with Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa Cerkas, and Grandma Cerkas. We were all happy that she seemed to have a great time.... so great, in fact, that she pooped through 3 outfits in an 8 hour time span on Saturday! But, never fear! Mommy was thinking ahead and brought lots of extra clothes just is case! She had a bath after she got home :)

The weather wasn't too warm, but we made due and even tried out what we call the "Bean Bag." It's one of those fleece bags with arm and head holes that you zip the baby into for safe sleeping. Since she makes it a hobby of kicking off her blankets in the middle of the night, and since the cabin can get a little cool, too, we tried it out! Not only did she stay covered all night long, but she was kept toasty, roasty warm. We liked it so much that we decided to use it when she went outside, too!

We will be going to the cabin whenever we need a getaway this summer. We usually do a decent amount of camping, but being in a tent in a campground with a fussy baby would be pretty annoying to say the least. Alena can cry all she wants and the only ears that will hear her (unless some other people come up with us) will be Mommy, Daddy, birdies, porkies, mice, and snakes. We're so happy that she loved it as much as we do!

What a Change!

Not even a week old in this one! So cozy! Here we have Miss Alena at a little over 2 months. Same blanket and everything! She wasn't so keen on this photo :) Jeez Mom!

I was looking through our newest pics of our little Bean and I flipped to one of the first ones we took of her at home! I can't believe how much she has grown in 2 1/2 months! She is a sweetheart most of the time, but is definitely stubborn (go figure with the parents she has)! She just might be starting to outgrow her vibrating chair.
