Mary's Baptism and Shower

Dave baptized Mary at church on Sunday, June 24. We appreciated that she got baptized by her grandpa and that both of our families were able to join us for the special day.

Following the church service, Joy threw us a meet and greet shower to welcome Mary and celebrate her baptism. Heather and Michelle helped out by bringing delicious desserts and helping with set up and tear down.

The main activity of the shower was decorating onesies, so now Mary has lots of fun, colorful outfits to wear.

It was fun to gather together and enjoy treats and visiting.

We are thankful for the support of all our friends and family as our little family grows.

Meeting Aunties

We drove down to Modesto on Friday and Mary got to meet the rest of her aunties.

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

I put Mary in her new onesie and Joshua couldn't resist taking this picture of her.

Father's Day

We got to celebrate Joshua's first Father's Day on Sunday. I found a new recipe for citrus coffee cake that I got to bake in our new bundt pan. We enjoyed that for brunch. We had a nice day together and finished everything off with a good dinner and tasty rhubarb pie. It's wonderful to see Joshua grow into his new role as father. He loves Mary, and it's delightful to watch them interact.

One Month

 Mary reached one month on June 10. 

Mary loves to be held and swaddled. She purses her lips often and has a vast range of facial expressions that are endearing, silly, and fun. She has quite the grip if she grabs your finger. She can be loud at times, but is usually content. We love watching her and seeing the new things she does seemingly every day.

First Sleeper

Mary tried a sleeper for the first time. She wasn't a huge fan of it for sleeping, but wore one all the next day to stay warm on a cool, rainy day.

Tummy Time

Mary has started spending time on her tummy. She's not a big fan, but usually tolerates it okay for a little while. Her legs are getting strong and can scoot around her lower half. She can also lift up her head, but can't hold it for long.

Six Years

In the midst of welcoming Mary and recovering from the birth process, Joshua and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. We decided to keep things low key for obvious reasons, but enjoyed a great day. Joshua went to a local bakery to pick up some pastries for brunch. There are a lot of good bakeries in Eugene and we haven't explored any of them because we usually just bake at home, so it was a fun opportunity to try something new. He picked an assortment of pastries and they were all tasty.

We also enjoyed a delicious dinner. Joshua grilled steak and I made a green salad with fresh lettuce from the garden. We also had potatoes and a bread from the bakery with olive oil and vinegar. It was a great way to end our celebration. Here's to new adventures to come!

Newborn Photoshoot

I was so grateful for the opportunity to have a newborn photoshoot while my family was here. Heather did a great job taking pictures of Mary and capturing her newborn sweetness. Many thanks to her for allowing us to take advantage of her photographer skills.
