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

Mommy and Daddy with their baby boy. Daddy taking his first (of many) load of baby diapers out to the trash. He had so much fun doing this I just had to snap a picture of it. I PROMISE not to be one of those mom's who takes pictures of dirty diapers, this is as close as I will get!
Daddy and Robbie.
Grandma Therese getting a kiss from her newest grandchild. This makes number five for her - she is an old pro!

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

I love his bright eyes.
This hat dwarfed his little head. He is always so alert and bright eyed, we really enjoy it!
I just love his little green outfit!
This is a classic Robbie face - it is so funny that he has such adult faces sometimes!
Papa Lewis holding his little guy. I think they are going to be great buddies!


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

This photo was just too funny not to share. Robbie's and Kevin's faces are priceless. Kevin was so scared of dropping Robbie and Robbie's face is just saying, "hey, this is not funny, put me down!" I attempted to copy a picture of Carter - Kevin's cousin Brooke's son. His picture turned out great, but ours not so much!
Candy snapped this while Kevin was trying to quite our fussy baby! It was not a posed photo and I just love it.
This is one of my favorites. Robbie looks so tiny in Kevin's hand and I love how you can see Kevin's wedding ring. Robbie's face is just too sweet.
He finally tuckered out and fell asleep. He is so sweet when he is sleeping.
I love this look.

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

Our littel guy in his car seat. Notice the socks on his hands. The mitts just wouldn't stay on and he was scratching his little face. We love how redneck we can be!
Daddy and his son. Isn't Robbie so cute how he is cuddling up on Kevin?

My two boys. I guess Robbie just wore Daddy out!
