Jay's been home for 10 weeks! And he's 25 weeks old. That means he's been in the outside world for as long as he was in my tummy. I can't believe how fast the time goes by.

We visited the opthamologist this week and his eyes are healing well from the laser surgeries. In fact he sees like any other baby at his corrected age. So we are all very happy to hear this!!

Other than that he's getting really curious about his surroundings and makes wonderful eye contact while you're holding him. Giving him a bottle and having him stare up at you is the most wonderful warm fuzzy feeling :)

If I have any complaints it's that he only smiles for Joe and my Dad. What's with the guy thing?

Naughty little monkey he is! We love you so much Jayan!!! Y

NINE POUNDS!!!

Jay is right at nine pounds. I can't believe it. He's got a great appetite and is sleeping well at night. Joe got him to smile a few days ago but we haven't seen one since. Here's a little video of Daddy trying very hard yesterday. Comedy I tell you. The two of them :)

Mother's Day

Finally big enough for the Baby Bjorn carrier

(thank you Grandma Judy and Pam!!)

Just hanging out at home....
Aunty Tasha's the best!!!!

I couldn't have asked for a better first Mother's Day. I woke up that morning thinking..wow I can celebrate this day today. Something I've longed to do for such a long time.
I got a very witty card from my son written by Joe and a very sweet card from Joe also. And my gift?? A ticket to see Neil Diamond. (anyone who knows me knows I love him!!) This will be my fourth show.

We spent the day visiting with my Dad and then just taking it really easy. For me everyday is mother's day. I feel honored and so lucky to be the mom of such a beautiful child.

This is the first week since Jay came home that we do not have one doctor appointment!!! I'm enjoying that and I'm sure he is too. Developmentally he's doing so well. Though he's still a little bobble head (Joe's term) he lifts his head and holds it for quite some time. While doing tummy time he can lift himself up and over the prop pillow! And his appetite has been fantastic. Almost every night he sleeps for a five hour stretch. However when he wakes up you better have that bottle ready or he will let you have it. :)

Jay has been home for 7 and a half weeks which is his corrected age. I can't believe it's already been that long. His true age is 22 and half weeks. He makes us laugh everyday. I was uploading some pictures the other day and I found his birth pics and I just can't believe the transformation.
We love you so much son.

Pata (Grandpa) and Jay
