Glass Panes That Separate

    Five months later, and wow! We’ve hit a lot of milestones in the last couple months. First, Breitlahn was rolling over, and then she started scooting, and sitting up. Today, she officially started crawling and she keeps trying to pull herself up on things to stand. Amanda said she did it once, but I haven’t gotten to see that yet. She loves to stick out her tongue, and blow bubbles, and laugh. She’s gotten quite ticklish, although it seems the simplest things will make her giggle the most. She had her first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.

    She started solids, and loves vegetables. Fruit is gross apparently. Breitlahn still eats it, but nothing compares to those delicious green beans and peas.

    Those are just some of the highlights, you can visit the gallery to see all the new photos.

    Breitlahn turned two months old this week, and a lot more has happened since she reached three weeks. She got to meet her other grandparents (on Amanda’s side), visited her first airport (and saw her first airplane), she visited her first national park (Theodore Roosevelt National Park), she rolled over (at one month, she’s a bit of an overachiever), she sucked her thumb, we dedicated her, she started outgrowing clothes, she reached ten pounds, and the list goes on.

    She’s started to smile quite a bit, which is loads of fun to see, and she’s found her voice (not just for crying anymore). She got to see loads of bison (well, at least her papa did) at the park, and we even found some time to relax and see Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar at Makoshika.

    Just over two years ago, I started a new job at Dawson Community College. When I started, their website was a mess. That’s probably an understatement. It was not in good shape, and had probably fifteen different styles throughout the site. The front page looked like a circus, and it was difficult to find what you were looking for.

    On Thursday, we launched the new site. It was exciting. At least, I’m excited about it. I’m sure there will always be more work to do on it, and we’ll probably redesign it in two years again, but I’m pretty proud of what we’ve accomplished.

    Breitlahn is now over three weeks old, and she’s been having a grand old time. She attended her very own baby shower, a wedding (congrats Aftiana), went on her first elevator ride, and had her first visit (of many to come) to Makoshika State Park.

    She’s had fun trying on a few of the outfits she received, and I think my favorite so far is her giraffe hat from Aunt Stephie.

    Oscar and Judy came over for the shower too, and they’ve got more pictures over at shutterfly. With all the family around, especially great-grand-parents, we had to take some family pictures too, and we’ve got a few with four generations. I’m sure there will be more to come, as we have more family here this weekend.

    Welcome to the world, our home, and our family, Breitlahn Maëlle.
