Tummy Time!!

**Disclaimer** - Pay no attention to the pink pillow - that is what Christian gets for having an older sister; besides the pink pillow he also will have use of a pink Bumbo chair and a pink potty chair when he gets older.

Christian and his Daddy


My two favorite boys hanging out!!

First "Real" Bath






Here are pictures of Christian's first official "real" bath after his umbilical cord fell off. As you can see --- he is not a fan of the bath. Hopefully, he will learn to like them. :)

Faith and Baby Brother

Faith and Aunt Jas meet Christian for the first time.Our new family picture as a family of four!!Faith holding baby brother once we got home from the hospital. She enjoys holding her baby brother, but has her limits.
Faith was a bit overwhelmed when she came to see us at the hospital. I think too much was going on and she couldn't process everything at once. She has adapted now that baby brother is home and in her environment.

Hospital Room Decorations

I was completely surprised when we checked into the hospital and were taken to the labor & delivery room and the room was all decorated with balloons and streamers. The clinical nursing director for the Women's Center decorated the room for me the night before. She made sure I was well taken care of during my hospital stay and had the best labor nurse!! I can't thank her enough. I guess it does help who you know and work with.

Labor Room Decorations:



Postpartum Room:
Here are Christian's first Aggie overalls that a coworker of mine made for him. He will be a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2032. Oh my---that sounds so far away. She was the same person that made Faith's when she was born. We put these outside the hospital room after he was born. I can't wait for him to wear them when he is older. I guess I need to start working on some new overalls for Faith, so they can match. :)

Sesame Street Live



These balloons were sold at intermission for $10 a balloon.....we resisted the purchase, but others did not...
Eventually all of the balloons were sold....craziness....













About a month ago, we took Faith to see Sesame Street Live with her cousins. They all had a great time and were thoroughly entertained!

Cowboy Boots!!




Faith loves her new cowboy boots that her daddy bought her!! They even light up!! She is ready for the rodeo.
