mommy's log - May 30th

milestone today!

You slept through the whole night last night... 930pm to 5:30am. Im still in shock and anxiously waiting to see if we'll have a repeat session tonight.

I think i was only slightly more excited when i found i was pregnant!

mommy's log - may 29, 2009

its been a rough week for both of us. Mommy's sick and you're sick of mommy being sick! I totally get that kiddo! Next week will be better... walks to the park... more outside time... and we'll get to spend time with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa since they are moving back to NY this weekend.

You are growing so fast. I can't get over how much your face looks more like a little boy, instead of the tiny little newborn i brought home more than 3 months ago. You've started getting interested in the TV this week, so we bought you a baby mozart dvd that you seem quite intrigued with. Even I like it. It's relaxing and a great way for us to sit and chill together. I even have it playing right now as you sleep next to me on my bed.

Your smile kills me! And you started giggling for daddy this week. For some reason you find him entertaining. Must be the funny faces he makes! You thought it was pretty funny that daddy teased you about "spewing all over mommy" the other day. I wasn't as amused of course, but i loved hearing you giggle and I love that you have a special bond with your daddy.

There are so many things i look forward to doing with you in the near and distant future, but then i remember that I simply must enjoy these days with you as an infant because they will never ever come again.

baby blues

baby blues...

We are hoping he will keep his blue eyes... its fairly likely since we both have blue eyes as well.

He'll be three months this week. Where has time gone? He came down with a cold this weekend. Poor thing. Its not too bad and he's mostly in good spirits.... just stuffy and coughing a little. He should be fine in a few days im sure!

Motherhood agrees with me. I love being a mom. Of course there are good days and bad days but I love knowing the intimate details of what makes my boy cry, talk, coo... what comforts him when he's sad or mad. He and i are still getting to know each other but the last week or so has been so awesome. He's started smiling and cooing so much. He recognizes my voice and looks for me in the room when he hears me. Same with his daddy. I guess that's a good sign that we are doing something right!

tender moments

Is there anything more precious in the whole world than the man you love comforting your child? My little man just wasnt having anything to do with me last night. He was cranky and tired but mommy couldnt hold him right. Five minutes in daddy's arms and he stopped crying and fell fast asleep. I had to capture the moment. It was so tender, i almost cried.

family

I'm having a great time here in Maryland with my aunts and cousins. My cousin melissa, mother to three girls (5,4,and 7 months) opened up her home to me and we fit right in.... yours, mine and ours. She and I are enjoying our time together and i am learning lot about her photography business while im down here. She's taken a few shots of my little one and im hoping to get some of the two of us together this week before we head home.

I've been picking up my camera a bit more down here and taking shots of her and her family. When youre the photographer, you're never in the picture, so i told her i would snap some for her.
















I also took this one of my little boy after he fell asleep on the couch next to me last night.

my visit to maryland... so far

snapped some shots while visiting my cousin and her three beautiful daughters this week. I also had a chance to see my grandparents. My grandmother has alzheimers so 99% of the time she doesnt even know who i am or who my baby is, but it was so nice to see how big of a smile she had when she held him. my cousin took the picture of me with Grandma.
