August - September Update

So many updates, so little time.  August flew by and marked the end of my maternity leave.  Before going back to work, David and I decided to make a trip out to San Francisco to see David's grandpa (Alistair's great grandpa).  We spent most of our time visiting family and friends.  Although we only stayed 4 nights, we pretty much ended up packing our entire house.  Traveling with a newborn isn't easy, especially on an airplane.  We were nervous we'd be the crazy couple with the crying baby.  But Alistair did great, he barely made a peep! 

David's grandpa was so happy to be with Alistair.  He kept singing "JESUS, AMEN, HALLELU-JAH!" It was really precious


After we left, Grandpa missed Alistair so much he called to say hi.  Apparently Alistair had a lot to say!


Flipping through old picture books at Grandpa's place, we found this little gem.  This is a picture of David's dad.  I couldn't believe the resemblance to Alistair!




We were able to stop by David's old house in San Jose where he grew up.  I could tell it brought back a lot of good memories.




We didn't have much time to site see but we were able to stop by Golden Gate Bridge for about an hour.  I forgot how chilly it can be near the bay!



The majority of the trip we stayed with David's aunt in Burlingame.

Near the end of August (August 31st to be exact),  Alistair rolled over for the first time by himself!  I went out to run errands and I missed the whole thing.  WAH!!  He's a pro now!  Looks painful if you ask me.


On September 2nd, we celebrated my BBF's wedding in Vail.  It was beautiful and we had a great time.  This occasion also marked David's first marriage ceremony.  Although it rained and he was nervous, he did an awesome job and received so many compliments :)  Alistair debuted his formal ware for the first time with his buddy Caden.

The weekend after Labor Day, I returned to work.  Saddest day ever.  I cried.  Halfway through the day, David sent me this picture text with the title, "We miss you mom".  WAHHHHHH.  I cried again.


Anyways, it's tough being away from Alistair 3 days a week but it's comforting to know he's in good hands with David (aka super dad).

On September 23rd, Alistair had his 4 month checkup.  Looks like he's getting too big for the scale.  Doc says everything is going well.  Alistair is happy and healthy!


In conclusion to the longest update ever, here's a picture gallery from August and September.  Love this little guy!!!




 
 








This is by far one of my favorite videos of all time :)  Please excuse my high-pitched baby voice...
