A Video For Pop-Pop

One Tubby Tubby

Hi Honey,

Here are the baby fat pictures I promised you. I weighed him this morning. He's a whopping 13lb. 14oz.


This is a cute picture. He wants you to hold him sitting upright so he can look around. I had to change him out of this sleeper because it was too small...he couldn't straighten his legs.

I put him in this 6 month sleeper so he could straighten his legs, but then the sleeves are too long. Little Niblet looks like a T-Rex. Hard to believe he is only 7 weeks old.

Baby Shower Pictures

A Boy Sharpens Pencils

This is what happens when you ask a guy to sharpen the pencils for his baby shower. No electric pencil sharpener available? No problem. He will just go get a drill.

Ultrasound Video

Hi Honey,

We had the 4D ultrasound today. The technician recorded the entire 20 minute session. Since that is way too much to upload here, and since I am computer illiterate, I pointed my camera at the screen and recorded 1 minute for you. It was the good part, where Little Niblet kept trying to find his thumb to suck on it and had no luck.

He has changed so much since the last ultrasound. He is beautiful. Look at those chubby cheeks. And that little turned up nose. I wish you were here to share all this stuff with us.

CAUTION: Music comes blaring on half way through, sorry.

Nursery and Nesting

Hey Guys,

I got the nursery finished. I added the picture frames and the shelf since Labor Day when you saw it. The three frames have my kids' hospital pictures in them. We want the little guy to know that everybody looks that way in their hospital picture. The giraffe is scaring me a little bit and I may replace him if I find a cuter one. But other than that, I like the way it turned out.

No, that's not a door to his own private bathroom. It's the door to grandma and grandpa's room just in case little guy gets skeerd in the middle of the night.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Me and Pop-Pop have not gone overboard on the baby clothes.

I thought Pop-Pop would come home and stop me, but no, he was an enabler. It was his idea to go ahead and get the stroller and car seat combo. It was on sale, after all. He picked out more than one of those little outfits so you can't blame it all on me.

I will only admit to being slightly obsessed with the itty bitty teeny tiny baby shoes. Aren't they the cutest?

She is nesting like crazy today. She has been washing baby clothes and sorting and organizing all day. Just a little less than 3 months now, Honey, and we are going to be a grandma and grandpa. Time is going to go soooo slooooow.

Smiling Newborns

Is there anything sweeter than a smiling newborn? I can't believe I'm a Great Aunt. He is so much fun, I could just sit and hold him all day.

Emily was holding him and made him smile...aww.

Kristen, you look really beautiful holding that baby. Was that not subtle?

RIP Starbuck

We lost Starbuck yesterday. It was a very sad day in our house. He was 13 1/2. Here he is doing his favorite thing, sunbathing.
He had been with us since he was 6 weeks old. We will miss him very much and it will take some getting used to not having him around.

My First Great Nephew

Congratulations Devan!

You look amazing considering you had a baby 3 hours before I took this picture. How precious is this? That's 6 lb. 2 oz. of pure sweetness right there.
