Family Walk

We have been itching to get outside since it seems like we've had the longest winter ever! And last Sunday it was finally nice enough to take a quick stroll around the block. So we bundled up Jolie, got the stroller out, and put Petey's leash on and headed out. Petey did a great job of leading the way and was so excited to finally go on a walk again so he ended up pulling Lindsay most of the way. This is when it comes in handy that he's only about 7 pounds.




We didn't get a group shot (the neighbors might have seen us looking ridiculous) but we did get Jolie in her hat. She slept the whole time and all was calm so I think we can consider it a success! Doesn't she look so impressed? :)

Jolie's Newborn Pictures

Here are some of Jolie's newborn pictures we took last Friday! They turned out great!

You can check all of them out at our Shutterfly picture site. (If you go to the side bar along the right side, click on 'Our Pictures on Shutterfly)

Jolie's Many Faces

Jolie had her newborn pictures taken this past Friday! The pictures turned out great! We will post some pictures soon!

We also put together some video footage of Jolie's faces when she wakes up, does her business :-), etc. Enjoy!

1st outing!

We had our first big outing on Wednesday night. Jolie, mom, dad, and Grandma Dibbern all went to where else--but Jordan Creek Mall! We ate at the Cheesecake Factory and walked around the mall visiting all of Jolie's new favorite stores: Baby Gap, Pottery Barn for Kids, and Just Dogs Gourmet Dog Treat Bakery to get some treats for her big brother, Petey! We only had a couple major meltdowns while walking around, all in all, it was a great first outing.


Friday night, we went for Jolie's newborn pictures! It went great once Jolie calmed down and after about 4 diapers in 5 minutes, although we couldn't get her to sleep as our photographer had some great ideas for when she was asleep. However, we got some great pictures and look forward to getting those back sometime next week. We'll post them as soon as we get them!

Sleepy baby

Jolie is now 11 days old! She's still doing great, really likes being held, and otherwise just does the things that babies do. Lindsay is feeling better every day and Josh is back to work. Josh requires multiple Jolie updates a day while he is at work--he really misses her! Lindsay's mom, Lori is here this week to help us out. It's awesome to have two super Grandmas to take care of us! Not much else to report--here's some pictures of Jolie's typical daily activities.


Grandma Buechler says the "butt up" sleeping position is reminiscent of Josh! Josh has never been prouder to pass on a trait.

Petey's New Role

It's hard to believe it's been over a week since we brought Jolie home! She's doing great thus far and has a very protective "brother" in Petey. We were a little nervous Petey might get jealous that he was no longer in the spotlight but he has taken his protector role very seriously. He is the first on the scene at night when Jolie cries and is a good snuggle buddy for Jolie. Josh is going back to work Monday, although he wishes he could have another week at home. Lindsay's mom, Lori, came tonight and will stay with us for the week.
If you see any photos you'd like, e-mail Josh at josh.buechler@gmail.com. He can send you a printer friendly version of these pictures.

Crazy few days!

It's been a crazy few days! Lindsay woke up Thursday morning feeling horrible. Turns out she had a 24 hour stomach flu and it was Grandma Buechler to the rescue! Lori came down early Thursday morning and helped us a great deal with Jolie, the house, Lindsay, and just all those things moms do. Lindsay is feeling much better and nobody else got sick. So a special thanks to Grandma, and here is some footage of Jolie hanging out with Grandma. Keep in mind Jolie is 7 days old and by our estimation she is already reading at a 2-3 year old level (non-biased opinion).

More Jolie!

Here's a little video of Jolie's typical activity. Included is bonus footage of Jolie having the hiccups! Lucky you. Everyone is doing great, we had our first family outing last night to Target to get a few things you didn't know you'd need until you know, ya know? Enjoy!

More Pictures!

Here's a few pictures, more pictures and videos to follow! Jolie is doing great, so far she has been pretty sleepy, she weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces at her doctor appointment today, everything looked good, just have to get her eating a little better!






Go Big Red!!!
