Happy Birthday!

My sweet little guy turned 1 on October 21st and we celebrated. hard!

I am pretty sure his birthday was one of the best days of his life, so far.

Some highlights from his special day:

- Singing 'Happy Birthday' pretty much all day long
- Buying an awesome balloon (his favorite)
- Opening some new birthday gifts
- Going to the park and swinging on the swing
- Eating out at Beef O' Brady's where he got his VERY own meal. (grilled cheese and broccoli)
- Enjoying a nice big slice of chocolate cake for the first time!


We love this guy so much! More than words could ever express.
I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around the idea that he is already a year old. He has grown up so much in this past year and it is so fun to see him learn and grow!
I miss him when he goes to sleep at night. Sometimes I sneak in to his room just to watch him sleep.
I am so happy I get to spend every day with my baby! Nothing could make me happier. He always makes me smile. He is the best.

We love you A! We always will.

Somebody's Mobile!

And with that comes a lot of fun!

Here's what I found the other day in my bedroom:

Our Baby is 6 months old!

And he decided to celebrate by:

- Rolling over from his back to his stomach AND from his stomach to his back!
- Cutting his first tooth
- Learning to sit up on his own


We are so proud of our little guy and we love seeing him learn and grow!

Awesome News #2!!!

We're moving to FLORIDA!!!

And we couldn't be happier!

P got accepted to Florida State University! He will be getting his PhD in Political Science!

We will be moving at the end of July! It will be a HUGE move, but well worth it!

We are also so lucky because P was offered an assistantship!
What that means is we basically get to go to school for free! That's right, the school will pay P's tuition and fees the entire length of his program! They are also going to give is a living stipend each year to live off of as well!

Isn't that AMAZING?

We basically both fell to our knees when we found out. We are so happy!

It's been too long! AND GREAT NEWS! :)

It's been a while since I last posted on this blog! Over a year! Yikes!
I am hoping to start up blogging again to keep everyone updated on our super awesome life!

First, AWESOME NEWS!

We had a beautiful baby boy! He is the joy of our lives and we love him to pieces.

He was born October 21st, 2010 at 8:35 PM

He was born 3 weeks early so he had some trouble eating a breathing. He lived in the NICU for the first 10 days of his life and then we finally got to bring him home!

Isn't he just the cutest little newborn you have ever seen?
