Look How I have Grown



My pictures from 1 week old and 1 month.... Boy I have grown...

One Month, time flies...




It is with mixed emotions that I report on our 1st month home. I am so happy and in love with our baby, that it makes me sad, as the month has flown by. He is now 11 and half pounds and 23 inches long. At his last doctors appointment, he spent time flirting with all the nurses, much like his daddy. He displayed his tummy time skills of looking around and pushing up with his hands, the doctor commented that he acts like a 2 month old. My true joy in the morning is to wake up to his cooing and smiles, it amazes me how he reacts to our funny faces and when we tell him how much we love him. We couldn't ask for a better little man, he manages to sleep 4-5 hours at night, and following a feeding, will often sleep again for 4 hours. I haven't let him know that this is not normal, as I fear he will change his mind. I have read how hard the first month is, but I have to be honest when I say... I love every minute, yes we spend a lot of time eating and cuddling, but I have waited my whole life for such a blessed little gift, I wouldn't change one bit.

One Month Shot... May not be suitable for all viewers

Here is a video of the IVs one month shot. Don't be alarmed he recovered well. But atleast you can hear the rare sound of him crying.

Bath Time











Here are a few pics from his first real bath, he slept through the whole thing. As you can see, we still have the option of straight or curly hair...

2nd Week Home







We had our two week appointment this week, we were excited to find out that little Frankie tipped the scales at 10lbs 4oz and was mistaken for a two month old. He has grown 2 inches since birth, amazing!!! We have been enjoying every waking and sleeping moment and can't imgine, nor remember life without him. I love waking up to hear his cries or grunts or whatever they maybe, no matter what time of day or night. This is truely the most remarkable experience and love I could ever feel. Sorry about the first picture, this is what the IV feels about diaper changes, his father taught him. Please check out the other link in the email to
