Grammy Cherie is here!!

And Otis couldn't be happier!
After Otis was born Ty had a week and half off of work. We had such a fun time. Since neither of us had anything to do or anywhere to be, Ty would get up with us in the night when little Otie wanted to eat and we'd talk and watch movies and sleep during the day whenever Otis slept. He gets 4 weeks of paternity leave, but we're saving the other weeks for later. But by the end of the week we were both getting pretty run down and ready for back up. And she arrived!!! Otis instantly loved his grandma. And I don't know if it comes over the years of Motherhood, but it seems to me that my mom has a few extra pairs of arms that I can't see. Somehow she cooks, cleans, soothes Otis when he cries, soothes me when I cry when Otis cries and smiles all the while. And I feel like I'm lucky if I've brushed my teeth and am out of my pajamas by 4 in the afternoon.
My mom also came baring gifts. She made this quilt!! I am so in love with it, I cried when she gave it to me.
In London after you have a baby, a midwife comes to your house for 10 days to check on you and the baby to make sure everything is ok. It is such a great system they have here. This is a picture of the midwife weighing Otis. He weighs 8lb 4oz now. I had to take a picture because he just looks so cute like a little package a stork carries.
In the ultrasound pictures we got, Otis' hand would always be tucked up under his chin. It is so cute to see him sleep like this now.


Otie all bundled up in his stroller. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to our "stroller fund" at baby showers in Utah! We love it.

In the Snuggly ready for a day out on the town with Dad. Thanks to Aunt Jan and Uncle Jerry for the awesome Harley Davidson hat and booties! They are just perfect.
Otis is so cute during bath time! He's not afraid to scream at the top of his lungs at times, but he can also be so calm and relaxed in there.



Our little hippie. Ashley made him this cute brimmed beanie. And Rachel tie-dyed the onsie for him.
