The end of a long weekend

The bride, Andrea, Amanda and Shyler
This past weekend was quite the experience as Amanda was in the wedding of her friend Andrea. It was an adventure as we tried surviving the schedule of a bride to be and a newborn. It worked out and luckily Shyler was ok taking a bottle. By the end of it all we were tired and glad to be home and back into our regular routine.

Daddy Daughter Dance
At the reception after the Father danced with the Bride they had another special dance. They played "My Girl" and had all of the fathers and daughters dance. This was Tim and Shyler's first dance. It was very cute!

Great Grandma Irwin and Shyler

Our last stop on our way home was a visit to Shyler's Great-Grandma Irwin. She was really happy to see Shyler for the first time, as were all of the other ladies that saw her.

Shyler in her Blessing Dress

Yesterday Shyler was able to be blessed. She was a good baby and didn't cry or make any noises while Tim was giving the blessing. She wasn't asleep as planned, but at least she didn't cry. We were lucky to have many friends and family there to witness such a wonderful occasion in our young baby's life. If you notice how she is laying in the picture you will see that she doesn't like to look straight up, she always rotates onto her side, silly baby.

4 weeks old

Today she is 4 weeks old!!!! We can't even believe how quickly time has passed. People keep saying she looks so tiny, but for us who look at her everyday we can't believe how big she is getting. She also got to try out her swing for the first time.
