February 15 - A new member at the zoo

Meet our new Giraffe from Aunt Amanda! It is soooo cool! :o) (I think that is what Alaina's 'Gooo' meant...) AND when you pull out on his tail he plays music! Oh how we love things that play music! So, we had to get a picture with the Giraffe.
Today was a good day. This morning we went over to Teddy's parents house after saying goodbye to my family and Ashley's friends. We ended up going to lunch with Teddy's Mom and Dad and Aunt Amanda met us there later to give Alaina her gifts she got in Las Vegas. After that we loaded everything up and made the trek back to Omaha. On the way home Alaina awoke from her nap and was inconsolable so, I ended up using my battery pack for my pump for the first time. Believe me, you have not LIVED until you have pumped going down the interstate at 73 mph with a baby screaming next to you. Ha ha ha! ;o) We safely got the milk pumped into the bottle and I fed her like a little calf while she sat in her car seat and then she was back asleep the rest of the way home. When we got back it was time to start laundry, do dishes, wash bottles, and all the other stuff that has to happen to get ready for the work week. Then, I just spent what was left of the evening trying to catch up on blogging my pictures and spending time with Lainey. What a fun day!
