Styley New Ride












We splurged on a very exciting new vehicle for Cannon--one that can go jogging, biking, or skiing. It has sweet shocks so he has slept down some very rocky trails already. :) We thought about putting the skiis on it since it won't stop snowing--we got 16 inches last week! There is a photo here of our "backyard"--the beaver pond with a snow-covered Mt. Massive in the background.

Our sweet baby gained 2 1/2 pounds in the first month of his life. His belly is huge and his fingers, toes, and cheeks are pudged out. :) He weighs a whopping 8 1/2 pounds these days, and he's doing all sorts of amazing things like looking at us, grabbing our fingers, and fending off his hungry father. :)

Don't be alarmed by the oxygen tank--we live at over 10,000 feet and almost all babies here are on oxygen for a couple of months. It's very annoying to drag that tank around, but it could be worse. :)

Happy Birthday!





Cannon is two weeks old today! Time has flown by and he seems enormous compared to his birth weight. We think his facial expressions and the things he does with his arms are absolutely hilarious. Who knew a person who sleeps this much could be this entertaining? We've had lots of visitors, including both sets of Grandparents and Uncle Matt and Aunt Megan, who all came from multiple states away.


If you're an Outward Boundie, we know it's the migration season, so please make Leadville a stop between where you are and where you're going. Our futon is always open! :)
