Another week in Boulder

We are a little swamped with the start of school but we found some time to go out a take a few pictures. Plus, we felt like we kind of had to. People in Boulder have an obsession with outdoor activities so we paid an obligatory visit to the latest festival/farmer's market/free concert etc. We also started trying out the over-the-shoulder baby sack. This is something that Sloane can get down with.

Our return to Boulder. We say a reluctant goodbye to summer break

Sloane is getting better at posing for the camera. Her biggest problem now is keeping her smile when we break it out.

We are back in Boulder for the school year and things are going well so far. Utah was fun and we'll undoubtedly be back there for numerous more visits, but now it's time settle back into our Boulder apt. Sadly, it seems the people from whom we were stealing our internet have found us out and canceled their service. This means we'll now have to actually pay to get online--it's messed up, I know.

Sloane is now more than three months old and adjusting nicely. She has recently discovered her vocal chords and likes to test them out during Sacrament Meeting or at 1am--just for fun. We tried to capture one of her performances on video but, like I said before, she is still camera shy, or maybe it's camera curious. Still, for those of you who haven't heard her talk this is a little teaser of you might get when you see Sloane in the flesh.

The last picture is with Sloane's cousin Taylor, better known as TC, or even Tack (TAC)!

One-month-old

This was Sloane's 1-month-old outing. We treated ourselves to some crepes down in Boulder. Chocolate Raspberry Cream and Turkey & Mozz. Pretty freken good. Afterwards, we took Sloane shopping for something to put on her head. She is still too small to fit any of the headbands--I think they look kind of white trashy anyway. Still, we ended up finding this simple white one that looks okay. She really hates wearing it, but she put on her bravest face for the camera and let us take some reasonable shots. It has been a good first month; however, Sloane has recently figured out how to get our attention through crying. She likes to use this new trick because it works pretty effectively.

This is the 16th Street Mall in Denver. Denver is supposed to be one of the best cities in the country these days. We think it's okay, but there are a few too many sports bars. Anyways, it was good to get Sloane out on the town. She doesn't really fit in her car-seat yet, but she seems to dig getting strapped into it. We stopped at some random restaurant to feed her. We're still trying to master breastfeeding when we are outdoors. It gets a little tricky sometimes. Starbucks is turning out to be a lifesaver--quiet corners and changing tables in the bathrooms.

This is after a couple of weeks of breastfeeding. Looks like she's putting on some weight. Not that much, though. She's almost up to 7 and a half pounds.
