Kase's baby blessing

We went to Tucson on Sunday for new newest Nephew, Kase's baby blessing. It was fun to see him for the first time and for Mallory to meet her cousins. They are only 11 days apart so I am sure there will be many fun times ahead for them as they grow up together. We enjoyed seeing family and the yummy dinner after! Thanks Monty and Kendra.

Reagan loved holding Mallory, her only other girl cousin on the Caldwell side.

Mallory and Kase were not cooperating for a picture but we took one anyway.

Family picture time.

Update

I finally found a second to post some pictures. We are having so much fun with little Mallory. She is such a good girl. Her colic is improving a lot with this medicine she is on. It is so nice! She is being such a good girl be drug from place to place for work and hardly being at home or on a schedule. Life is super busy for us but super good. We are so blessed!
Today Britt, Aaron, Brynlie, and Dayton came swimming. Here is Dayton and Mallory getting ready for the big swim.

She was sooo happy to be outside. She just loves the outdoors. The second you take her out she stops crying.


Getting ready.

I love her just in her diaper! I don't know what it is. She is just so loveable.

This is how Porter and her spend much of their nights together. She loves to watch the toy as Porter throws it. He is training her now to keep her eye on the ball I guess.

She looks so old sitting up in her Bumbo! Our baby is starting to grow up!

Photos of Mallory

Our cousin Kate took pictures of Mallory when she was 4 weeks old. Here are just a few. We love them so much Kate. Thank you!!! It is crazy to see how much she has changed. Check out Kate's website at Check out her website at http://www.katelinesphotography.com

Love that Grin!

Mallory started smiling "sociably" this past week. We just love to get her smiling and sometimes she even lets out a little giggle. We tried to capture some on camera. Here are some pics. This past week she has been such a trooper. She has spent 9 hours a day away from home in a small office working with me, going to seminars all day, and traveling to other clinics in Phoenix in the heat. This little girl is always on the go with me. Poor thing never really gets naps. She has been such a good sport though. We love you so much Mallory!

M.I.A.

We will probably be M.I.A. with the whole blogging thing for the next few months.
Why?
Colicky Baby (she is doing much better though)
Domini going back to work full-time tomorrow (with baby) yikes!!! :/
Porter starting 16 credits of school plus work next week
And all of the other busy events life brings!!

So, I am really nervous about this whole "taking baby to work" thing. I am so blessed I work at a job where they let me bring her with me but can not imagine how I am going to keep up with the hecticness of supervising a clinic while diapering, feeding, and entertaining a baby (on very little sleep each night I am sure). I sure do hope everything goes well! So, life will be crazy to say the least. I can't believe Mallory is already 6 weeks old and my maternity leave is over. Time has flown by. She has been such a fun little girl and we love her so much. It is amazing how fast you fall in love and would do anything for your child. She is such a little angel (even if she does get colicky at times). She is now tipping the scales at 8 pounds but everyone thinks she looks sooo tiny still.
Here are some pictures of our last weekend before the big plunge... :)
Britt threw Brynlie an amazing "Carnie Party" for her 3rd b-day yesterday. We had a blast. Thanks sis!

Basking in the Sunshine (or HEAT)

I am 4 weeks old today!

Celebrate!!!

This past weekend we were able to go to Snowflake for 4 days and go to the Pioneer Days Events with little Mallory. It was fun to take her on her first visit to Snowflake and we enjoyed spending time with so friends and family.
Since we have been back life has been a bit of a blur. I think Malli has colic or reflux because she just screams most of the day and night. We do get a few good hours a day but that is about it. I feel so bad for her and just feel so frustrated that I don't know how to help her. She is slowly gaining weight. We just weighed her on our scale and she is just about 7 pounds now! I think she is gaining weight slowly because she rarely sleeps and she uses all of her energy kicking and screaming. Poor girl. Hopefully this will get better soon. I am trying all of these different diets and we have been giving her gas drops and gripe water. Nothing has seemed to help yet but we are crossing our fingers we will find a solution soon. We love you Malli and hope you get feeling better soon! (Any suggestions anyone???)
Here are some pictures we took while in Snowflake. We had such a good time. Thanks to our familys for taking care of us and feeding us all weekend and holding Malli on those long nights of crying. We love you!

Misti laced these sweet Jordans on little Malli. They were Gunners when he was a baby. I think she still needs to grow into them.

All nice and clean after my bath.
