The First Christmas

Well, I messed up this post by accidentally erasing all the words. I was so frustrated I had to leave the house. I'll just leave it at that. Hopefully you got to read it before I messed it up.

The Many Faces

Well, a day in the life of a baby, eat, hang out, sleep and then eat again. Doesn't sound like much but R. and I could watch and enjoy his little facial expressions all day. Here's a quick slide show of the progression from feeding to naptime, the many faces of Little Man!

...and it's naptime!

Little Man

Well, here he is. Just went in for his one-month checkup and it looks like all the hiking he's been doing has been paying off. (Here's J. doing some of his warm-up calisthenics prior to heading out) Turns out he's 90th percentile for weight, so he's quite a little chunker.




First Halloween. In case you didn't get that from the photo.




To borrow a line from another blog. Cutest. Thing. Ever.



As you can tell, J. is dubious of my, (R's), usefulness in his life. Currently, my duties do not involve producing milk, so as you can see here, J. is not totally sure that I actually serve much of a purpose.



The stink-eye. He also has the double stink-eye, but he only busts that out on special occasions.



First trip to the beach. Ambiguous beanie. We're trying to get him comfortable with a broad palate of colors in case the early 90's really come back in force. It's never too early to try to be cool vicariously through your child. Which is why we've also enrolled him in soccer camp starting next week.




You can see how much he enjoys this. He was just upset I had him up on the nose, as he could clearly tell that with the way this wave was forming up he needed to be sitting on the fin.

J

We are so excited to finally meet our little J., born October 9, 2010 (10-9-10) at 9:05 a.m. He weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is beautiful and so healthy, he came out and was yelling within seconds. Apparently the whole ordeal was a bit traumatic for him as well!

Only a few hours old!

Proud Daddy holding J. R helped during every contraction. The labor lasted about 10 hours and went really well. We went through the whole process together!

R's note to me during the labor. He was so supportive and he helped me through the whole process. It was mainly just him and me in the room during the whole thing.

Our new family!

Our sweet little man!
