Kevin, Robbie and I had our first family outing last Saturday. We headed downtown for a fun Halloween outdoor market. Kevin hated that I insisted Robbie wear his adorable Halloween outfit all day - but we got a lot of "oohs and ahhs" so I think it was well worth it. Here are so pictures from Robbie's first big day out!

Teddy, please help us sleep through the night!
Kevin and I bought this Teddy which makes "womb" noises to help our little man sleep through the night. Just in case it doesn't work, we did not take it out of the box. Well as you can see Robbie must love it because we put him far away from the box in his pack and play and he somehow managed to wiggle right up next to it!
The other picture is of the Iowa Hawkeye outfit that my dad and Cheri sent us. We will send pictures of him in it this weekend - thanks Grandpa Frank and Grandma Cheri!

I Love My Mummy
A good friend gave us this onzie for Robbie and I had to take a picture of my little monkey man wearing my new favorite onzie! Isn't he precious! Today we had our first play date with Robbie's future girlfriend - Ava Kline. She is the adorable 6 month old daughter of Kevin's and my good friends Tommy and Bridget. I don't have any good pictures though because Robbie slept through the entire play date!

2 Week Check-up
We had our two week check up today. Robbie weighs 7 lbs 15 oz (25%) and is 22 inches long (90%). He is very healthy and doing very well. We are getting better at breast feeding and we are still working on his uncanny ability to sleep all day and fuss all night! Nana Lewis came to the house today to help me out - I have NO IDEA what I would do without her!
Kevin and I plan on taking our first family outing this weekend - I will be sure to share pictures!!!

Grandma Therese's Visit 2
I just love his fuzzy head of hair - we still can't believe how much there is. No matter what we do, it will not lay down - I was told by my mom that my hair was like that as a baby too.
Grandma Therese's Visit
My mom's visit was a God send for Kevin and I. We severly underestimated the difficulty in bringing home a new baby. For the first few days Kevin's mom "Nana" came down to help us and this saved our sanity. The third day my mom "Grandma Therese" came down for ten days. I feel terrible that her vacation was spent helping me nurse, change diapers, do laundry, run our errands and cook for us, but her assistance allowed Kevin and I to get some much needed sleep as well as learn to adjust to our new routine. We owe our mothers much love and appreciation.
Also, parenthood has allowed Kevin and I to once again realize just how much our parents love us and just how much they have done for us - we couldn't love and appreciate them more!
First Photo Shoot 2




First Photo Shoot





A talented girlfriend from work generously offered to come take some photos of our family. I wanted to share some of our favorites. Unfortunately Robbie was in rare form and was very fussy while she was here. We attempted some nude photos - hey dirty minded readers, I am talking about Robbie being nude not Kevin and I!!! Anyhoo, that was a rookie mistake by new parents . . . Robbie tinkled on the floor twice and poo pooed on it once. (P.S. do you like the "Mommy talk"????)

Coming Home
Hospital Pictures 3
Robbie's homecoming. Our good friends, Tommy and Bridget Kline, left the balloons on the mailbox for us Kevin's parents left the balloon on the front door. We were so thrilled to see them when we pulled up. Our good neighbors also stopped by to say hello and bring us a really amazing dinner and dessert.

I think I have the two most handsome men!
Robert's Arrival
He finally tuckered out and took a nap. He slept so peacefully and we kept checking to see if he was "still breathing".
