Where does the time go?

It seems like the 9 months of pregnancy could not go by any slower, but then when the baby comes.. the time flies by super fast! Our little boy is now 1 month old! It has been so great spending time with him and getting to know him. He has a little personality of his own and we just love him so much!! Sammy is so close to smiling, he is now responding to us when we talk to him and play with him. It is so great to watch him grow and reach certain milestones!


Here is a pic of Matt burping Sam. So far, Sam hates being naked. We were doing a "naked" photo shoot and he was not liking it, so Matt fed him and now he looks as happy as can be!


We got this little outfit from David and Heather. I think it is the cutest thing ever! Thanks guys!


Sam is like his cousin Maya.. he loves getting baths. By the way - we hung out with Nats and Maya (almost 3 months old) last week and it was pretty hilarious because Sam and Maya were on the same exact schedule. They slept the same time, ate at the same time, were awake at the same time.. and yes.. they even pooped at the same time. : )


Here is a pic of Matt giving Sam a bath. He looks so small next to his dad.


And finally, here is a pic after his bath and ready for bed.

Our little angel

I never thought I could fall in love with someone so quick! Our little Sammy was born on September 23, 2008 at 5:22 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs 12 oz and was 19 inches long. Watching the birth of our son was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life. And then watching Matt interact with his son for the first time was pretty emotional.

I am surprised how being a parent becomes so natural. Matt is an expert diaper changer and I am getting the hang of nursing. We have had quite a few laughs while changing Sam's diaper. Sam just loves to pee all over daddy and his new outfit. Today, while changing his poopy diaper, he peed twice all over his outfit. Then once daddy got everything cleaned up and a new diaper put on, we heard a "Squirt."

Sam is now a week old and he is the most perfect baby in the whole world! We just love when he opens his eyes and stares, and all the cute little noises he makes. My favorite part is when I burp him, he turns his head up and looks at me with an "O" mouth. He is such a good sleeper that dad can even vacuum, and he'll still stay asleep. He absolutely loves his Papason swing. It has been a life saver when he cannot go back to sleep at night. Sam is just like his dad in that he loves to eat, and he sleep with his hands by his head. We think Sam looks like a little of both of us. He has daddy's nose, cheeks, lips, chin, hands, and feet and he has mommy's eyes, ears, and hair. We will post a slide show with more pics soon.
