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.

He is changing so much! What cute pictures! I am so thankful you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I know you've wanted this for so long!

I wish I was there to hold him! Keep up the good work, all 3 of you!

Happy Mother's Day, My Dear Sister...Finally, we both get to celebrate it with our "OH, SO BEAUTIFUL" children. How grateful I am that I have Melanie. I know you feel the same about Jay. We are both so blessed and so are our new families. Can't wait to see you again....OXOXO from Melanie...She started walking on 5/9. I believe it was her gift to me for Mother's Day. Take care...Love, Ai (Chris & Mel)
