These are pictures that I took on my phone in November. Last time I checked there were about 700+ pictures on there….

His favorite book to “read”.

His face cracks me up! Those Fisher Price apps are intense.

He started standing up on his own now. He’s not too stable right now. It freaks me out thinking he’s going to fall back and crack his head open on the crib.

My darling husband thought it would be awesome to make candy sushi. I think it consisted of fruit roll ups, rice krispies and Swedish fish.  I never did try one and I had no desire to…

A latest addition to my family’s clan. My mother sister had her baby. He’s a cutie pie!

I truly despise the WordPress app for Android.  Can other’s format their photo’s and content on the WordPress app? I can’t figure it out.

Two years ago today you and I both…

…vowed to honor and love each other.

… you showed off your humor.

…we had our crazy loving family and friends fill us with their love.

…we then snuck off into the night to start forever together.

Everyday we learn something new about each other but always remember that I love you.

This morning there was an announcement from JK Rowling.

I had to contain my joyful whopping to a soft squeak cause the baby was still asleep. I should have looked at the site this morning because now I can’t register!! boo! hiss!

At one month baby was:

WEIGHT: 10lbs 11oz

HEIGHT: 21 & 3/4 inches

TEMPERMENT: Pretty chill baby only if changed, fed and put down for a nap within two hours. Any longer and he gets really cranky.
It was hard to get him to breastfeed the first week of life. He scared us to death the day he came home from the hospital. He decided he was going on a hunger strike for over 12 hours. Imagine coming home exhausted, physically and emotionally, in tremendous pain and not being able to feed your child the way you wanted to.
I set myself for failure because I was under educated and misinformed by a slew of people at the hospital.
Anyway, Gabriel is eating like a champ from his bottle and sleeping well some nights.

Recovery from the C Section was awful. I woke every time the baby moved so I didn’t get any sleep. I’m pretty sure I suffered from postpartum for the first month.

Even though those few things didn’t work out as I planned it my baby turned out healthy and he is a dream.

My personal IT working hard at getting our new wireless router working. Don’t worry, he’s paid really well with love and yummy food.

I live to see this little formula face everyday. So much so it makes me want to cry. (Thanks hormones!) 

I’d like to take sometime to thank you for putting up with me the last ten months. You have been nothing but patient, kind and understanding. Thank you for being my personal waterboy, my foot massager, and house cleaner (on the occasions you do…)
I have confidence that you will be a wonderful father. You sacrifice a lot of time to be the best provider for your family. You work well after hours at work only to come home to work on your freelance work well into the night. I hope our children learn to be a hard worker just like their daddy.
Hubs, I love you so much. To the moon and back. Thank you for all you do for me.

Love,
Your extremely pregnant wife.

Dearest Husband/Best Friend/ Love of my life,

I can’t believe we did it. We had our precious baby boy! It has been a fast and crazy week-and-a-half. Through it all you have been nothing but supportive and caring. You listen to my crazy concerns and fears.

Seeing you with our son melts my heart every time. The way you took care of him in the hospital when I couldn’t makes me love you in ways I cannot explain. The sheer joy in your voice the first time you saw him will forever stay with me. I didn’t realize how much you really cared for me until you almost cursed out all the nurses for not keeping you updated when I was in recovery for over 2 hours.

Thank you so much for being the most wonderful person I know. Thank you for helping me give life to our precious baby boy.

I love you so much it almost hurts.

Te amo con todo mi corazón,

Your slowly recovering wife

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!  I know I did.

Hubby made me something for Halloween.
