A day at the office

Today we went and visited daddy at the office. Dane had a fun time sitting with his daddy at his desk and looking at the computer screen. Daddy thought it would be funny to act like he was changing Dane's diaper on his co-workers desk...see the photo:) I hope Dane is not going to be as naughty as his daddy!

Two months old!

It's crazy to think Dane is already two months old! The time has flown by yet it seems like he has been here forever! Today we celebrated by having a little photo shoot on the couch followed by some tummy time on the floor. Dane showed off how strong he is by rolling over for the camera. Then we read the book that he just loves! He is always smiling at the pictures of the babies. Then he started to get a bit grizzly...as you can tell it was time for a nap. Dane was all partied out after celebrating his two month old birthday!

Some random photos...

Here are some random but very cute photos of Dane. He's such a good little boy and is even starting to sleep a bit more at night...yippie! He will wake at least once a night and normally sleeps for 4 hours at a time but he has done a few 5 and 6 hour stretches of sleep. We always love those nights:)

We're moving to IOWA!

We have some big news...we are moving back to Des Moines, Iowa! Josh has accepted a job at Aviva as a Portfolio Manager. We will be leaving New Zealand on August 7th for a 24 hour trip home. With the time change we'll be arriving in Des Moines the same day...if only the flight was a few hours! We are so excited for everyone back home to meet little Dane:) He is also very excited! You can tell how happy he is from all the smiles in the photos. Sadly we will be leaving a lot of great friends behind here in New Zealand. We will miss them heaps!

Dane's first plane ride

Today we flew to Auckland, New Zealand to get Dane's American passport sorted. He was such a good little boy all day long. He slept the whole way up to Auckland and was only awake for a sort time feeding on the way back to Wellington. We can only hope that Dane does as well on the long haul flight to LA we have coming up in August!

Happy 4th of July!

We celebrated Dane's first holiday here in New Zealand...the 4th of July! We had our New Zealand family over...Fiona & Sal, Michelle & Graeme and Georgia & Kahu. Dane was all dressed up for the occasion in the adorable little outfit his Aunt Kerri got for him. The sunglasses and hat were a wee bit big for him but we sure thought he looked cute! Unfortunately we didn't have any fireworks or sparklers to help celebrate the 4th. Hopefully next year we will and I'm sure Dane will just love staring at the light from the sparklers...not too sure if he'll like the big booming noises though from the big fireworks! We had such a nice time with our NZ family here celebrating the American holiday:)
