One Month Old!

Excuse me while I wipe away my tears...how is my baby one month old!? Theo is really starting to show us his personality. He is a mellow and happy dude. He sleeps and eats great, which is why he quickly outgrew his newborn clothes and is now wearing 3-6month clothes - geez! He has bright blue eyes which we get to see more and more everyday. He only cries if he needs something, but he does love to grunt! He will grunt for hours in his sleep - I'll try to get a video of this. He is strong and will fling himself out of your arms if you aren't holding on. We are so in love as you can imagine!




I love my Mama and Pa! We can't say enough thank yous to my parents who have been such a HUGE help with our new family. They spoil us with help!!!! We LOVE having them as neighbors!!!

THANK YOUs and Busy!

We have received so many gifts, cards, visitors, meals, helping hands, etc.- it is amazing! Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers as we adjust to becoming a family of four. We feel the love and we are so grateful for such wonderful family and friends. Brock, by the way, is sure to think Santa is for the birds after receiving so many big brother gifts. I'm sure he will be requesting more siblings just for the toys :) How did you all know these big brother gifts would be so handy ...you must be parents or something...THANK YOU for the toddler entertainment. The picture in the heading is of the cake at a shower that my work had for Theo this week - they sure can throw a party! Thank you everyone! Cards are on the way soon :)

A visit from Nana!



A visit from Aunt Sue!

We took the trailer out the other day so Cory could get a riding fix. Here is Brock looking super cool on his bike. Theo, relaxing in the trailer.


Theo's first Ace's game.


Brock is quality control for all of Theo's toys - he has to make sure they are as fun as he remembers before his bother can use them.

Theo has started to give us little smiles - on purpose I think. I think I caught a little grin for his brother in this pic.

Time flies

Life seems to move pretty quick unless you take some time to reminisce.

Cory is doing such a great job blogging! We are still having a blast getting to know Theo. Strange how you can spend your whole life without someone and then the instant they are born you can't imagine life without them!

Just doing what I do best - sleeping and looking super-duper cute!


My first bath. It was a little traumatic with my brother splashing and thrashing around.

One week in...

Theo has been home for just over a week and life is great. Lots of visitors and help from family and friends has made the adjustment fun and easy.

Time for another nap!


Pop and the boys..

Brock is in love with Theo. His adoration and concern for Theo is a joy to witness. Brock spontaneously says " I wanna hold my baaaby", or "aaaaah, he's so cute!".

Taylor loves Theo too.

Explain that to a toddler.

UPDATE

Sorry for the delay--We have been a bit busy. A lot of activity around the compound as of late....visitors, late nights, two year olds, etc. Ma and Pa have been a tremendous help and Grandpa Jennings (Papa J, Papa, Pop, Grandpa) arrived to pitch in Saturday morning.
