So, Michael is one month and a day, and I am ready to begin joining the real world again--maybe. I have been trying to savor every moment of the new baby stuff, so I apologize for the neglected blog, along with many other neglected things...Anyway, I have a ton of pictures to post, so I better to get to explaining them! They are in order, so here is your tour of Michael's first month! Sara has just been so in love with him and wanting to hold him all the time. She thought the mitten things on his hands were funny and came out with her own version.
Even if Daddy is holding him, she wants in!
Okay, so I thought they were in order, but this next one was right when we brought him home.
And my AMAZING friend Tonya makes these amazing cookies, and I hinted that they sounded amazing, so she brought me some!! And with the blue M&M's to celebrate the little man--they were so good! We were very lucky with so many people helping us out with the kids and meals, and on and on. I didn't get pictures of hardly anything, but anyway THANKS to everybody!
Here are the kids with their gifts "from" the baby. Jared told them about the special book that they bring around at the hospital for the baby to pick presents for their siblings (I don't know how he came up with this). They were very excited!
I had to get a picture of the flower arrangement Jared's fam had sent to me in the hospital--I loved them so much and was so surprised to get them!
How cute is this little "Captain Adorable" outfit? I had to get pictures since it only fit for five minutes!
I love looking at newborn photo shoots, so here was my attempt to get some of those kinds of shots...
And we made breakfast in bed for Daddy for Father's Day! We love you, Jared!!!!!
And here's something John brought home from school.
I asked my Mom to send a hooded bath towel, and she also sent some shirts for the big kids--they were excited! Thanks, Mom!!
And Sara's baby needed some soothing I guess.
This was too cute, Sara pulled out this family picture she drew a while ago and updated it with the baby! Aw!
Burrito baby!
And see how he's chunking up? At his one month appt, he was already 12 lbs, which puts him in the 96th percentile! See why I had to savor every moment? I knew it was flying by, and I feel like he's already so much bigger! He's about out of the 0-3 mo. size already.
And I wanted to get some pictures with the BEAUTIFUL blanket Jared's mom made, so here is the baby officially one month old. Holly made this and a sweater and hat that are total treasures, and Grandma Tischner also sent an adorable sweater. I am so in awe of the amazing knitting they can do--they've tried to teach me, but I couldn't even handle a pot holder. Sigh. Thanks, Mom and Grandma Tischner!! I'll post more pictures with the sweaters soon!So, does he look different in this photo shoot compared with the one when he was like 10 days?
I can't believe it has been a month already! We are all so enamored with our little Michael! We practically fight over who gets to hold him. He's totally perfect, although he seems to have tummy troubles a little bit and does his fair share of spitting up! But, he seems to generally be happy and does tons of funny expressions and lots of sneezes. My favorite is when he "loses" his sneeze and kind of sighs. I'll have to try to get a video of it.Well, I hope you've enjoyed the picture overload of our delish little guy and hope you've been having a great summer! Much love to you all, and thanks for your support and love!
