Well, not much happened this month... just kidding: We had a BABY!!!
So, Orianna was born July 1st at 3 PM, wieghed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long. The labor lasted for 4 hours (from when we got to the hospital). Tamara did great, and she still looks great, and she had a fairly easy labor, and our baby is beautiful... so pretty much every woman in our ward hates her right now. We are proud parents and have spent the majority of this month just hanging out together, talking to Orianna, and realizing how alert she is.
On July 4th we went to Tamara's family's house to light fireworks and watch fireworks from Thanksgiving Point. We ditched early to put Orianna to bed. While I was holding her on my chest to burp her, she lifted herself up on all 4s, raised her head, and looked at us. 3.5 days old and she is already strong enough to do that!!! Crazy!!! We may have had super-baby.
The next day she crawled across the bed (not on all 4s, but more of a commando crawl) and she rolled over. We are afraid to leave her alone on the bed or couch because we think she might roll/crawl off it. I thought you were supposed to get a few months of worry-free near-vegetative babyness?!!? Oh well. We are pleased to see her progress and amazed.
Orianna's favorite activity is to experience different senses. She loves to look at lights, shadows, and people. She always gets really intent on figuring out where noises come from (it took her about 30 min to figure out that the meat sizzling in the pan wasn't me making noise while cooking). She LOVES to smell things (particularly Red Vines and Chocolate).
We have greatly enjoyed seeing her use her senses. It's funny how obvious it is.
Other than that, we haven't done much. We put all our house projects on pause, and I haven't worked on Mission Show Box all month.
But, we've enjoyed a slower month of just bonding.
Proud parents,
-Tamara & Rob
and Super-Baby Orianna.

we need more picture of your Orianna... you should update you blog some. Best of luck with your super-baby!
I agree with Stewart. I would like to see more pictures! Show your baby off!
that first comment was Becky, this is Stewart: Congratulations on the new addition. I also thought that you got a few months before the baby started rolling around and making things difficult. I guess the Lord sent a super baby to some super parents. Good luck!
