Finally caught it on video.....

Puerto Rico

M.D. and I headed down to Puerto Rico for a few days to visit Ryan. He has been working in Puerto Rico for the last few weeks. The plane flights to/from P.R. were less then desirable as I am sure we are the discussion of many travelers from our flights. We had it all- from screaming baby, to loud talking baby to messy baby in the bathroom, to hungry baby who wouldn't take her bottle. I looked like the mother who was dragged through five hours of plane time with her 6 month old child. It was all worth it though because our time in Puerto Rico was wonderful! We relaxed and took things nice and slow(as only you can with a baby). We did find out that there are no babies allowed in a casino. So no blackjack for us. It is always good to see where Ryan works and a little taste of his life on the road. Plus it was good to get out of the house for a few days. We already miss him and wish we had stayed a day or two longer.

Our view from Ryan's hotel room. He lucked out this week and got this room. Ryan and I sat on the porch a lot and enjoyed the view.

Pre-swim, suncreened and suited up for the big dip.
Post-swim - snug as a bug in a rug wrapped in a huge hotel towel. The swim went well. She clung to us for dear life for the first bit and then started to kick a little.
Typical look as we pushed the stroller through the hotel. People smiled a lot because they would comment that it certainly looked like someone knew how to vacation.

Sitting Up

Hanging with cousin Ryleigh and modeling a swimsuit and hat that will be worn when we go to visit Dad in Puerto Rico. Ryleigh is modeling another sun hat that will be taking the trip too:) Marin Dalby sits up quite well now, she just started sitting up on her own last week.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Rolling all around and now as you can see, even when I do lay a blanket down there is no blanket to be found in the picture because she rolls right off it.....

Baptism

Sunday, Jan 13, 2008 Ms. Marin Dalby Luttenton was baptized. The service was interesting because up until right before the baptism there was quite a bit of noise coming from our area of the church. Then Ms. Marin Dalby fell asleep in mamma's arms right before we were to hand her to the priest to be baptized. She proceeded to sleep through the rest of the service, including the water being poured on her head. We were lucky to have visitors for the occassion - Grandpa and Grandma Dalby and "Bumpa" and Mary Luttenton. We had a nice brunch to celebrate the day. Unfortunately for most of the weekend Grandpa Dalby was not feeling well at all. He actually left not feeling well, so hopefully he gets back to Michigan and starts to feel better.

Prepping to cheer on the Spartans in their Big Ten Opener.....
