Hello up there!

Just the three of us...

After many weeks of visitors, wonderful help from family taking care of Baby-O, and a mini-vacation we are back to just our family of three. It is hard to believe that I have been back to work for a month already. We are so grateful to Nan, Grandma and Grandpa for being here to spend time with the baby. It made it much easier to go back to work knowing that he was with family. You are all welcome back anytime you need a baby fix!

Yesterday was his first day at daycare. He did great, but he did not nap and ate more often thannormal. The ladies at daycare assured me that it is normal for babies to take some time to adjust to the new environment.

So, here is the rundown of the past few weeks. I don't have as many pictures as I wish, but the evening seem to fly by when I get home from work:

Look at these blue eyes!

Pop was able to come down for July 4th weekend in between Nan's two weeks:


When Nan left, Gramdma came with Aunt Jennifer and cousin Jenna. Katelyn stayed home because she made the All-Stars team for softball. Way to go Katelyn!

Baby-O with Jenna:

Aunt Jennifer, corrupting him already! You can tell whose child this is...

We spent another day at the pool with the visitors:



After a week with Grandma, we packed up the car and headed to Long Beach Island for a long weekend. Adam and Jen were in town with Jaxi and baby Griffin in tow.. It was great to see them. Nan and Pop also came down for a Sunday brunch at Barnegat Light:



We also had a big moment. Baby-O grabbed and held his rattle!


When we got home, Gramdpa was here to stay for the rest of the week. Baby-O loved spending time with Grandpa.
Here he is playing on the mat.



We had another big moment yesterday - he rolled from his back to his belly unassisted! He did it again this morning, too. My guy is growing up fast!

Another First

We are indoctrinating him early:

After a long week of work for me, and a big adjustment for the little man (which he took very well) we relaxed for a few hours at the pool on Boling AFB on Saturday. Baby-O slept very well in his little sun tent.


The water in the pool was a little too cold for him, so the little guy got a bath at home to cool off.

That makes two activities we are gearing him up for early: camping and swimming.

Happy Guy


I tried to upload this with yesterday's post but it wouldn't go. So enjoy my fun little boy!
