Daddy and Me

Happy Father's Day! It's Javier's first and while we can't get out and celebrate too much with Christian so young, I want him to know how much Christian and I love him. He's a great dad! Here are some photos of the adventures Daddy and Christian have had so far.

Javier was one proud Dad the day Christian was born.

Christian gets swaddled in this crazy blanket at night, and I think he looks so silly. Here's he and Javier hanging out.

Chillin' on the couch. Much more of that to come, I'm sure.

When Christian was only three weeks old, we took him to Fredericksburg and "tried" to take him hiking at Enchanted Rock, Javier's favorite hiking spot. We only made it a part of the way up, but it was fun while it lasted.

Javier and Christian love to play on his play gym. Sometimes they dance, sometimes Jonah, the whale, or Myrtle, the turtle, talk and hang out with Christian.

Here's Christian visiting Daddy's work at 4 weeks old.

Happy Father's Day, Javier! There are many more adventures to come!

Back to Work

I had to leave our little nest and get back to work! I've been working now for two weeks, and it's been two weeks of highs and lows. At times, I miss him more than I can handle and at others I'm happy to be on my own and in the adult world again. One thing is certain, our little family is blessed. Christian is our little blessing, and God has helped us so much along the way to his arrival. Every time a worry would come up in relation to our finances and having Christian, God would take it away. It really was amazing. The final worry we had was about daycare, not just the expenses, but also about trusting a stranger with our little baby. Christian is lucky to have three grandmas who have re-arranged their schedules to watch him while I'm at work. My mom and stepmom alternate coming down from Fredericksburg on Mondays, and Maria has changed her work schedule around, so she can watch him on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Christian is a lucky guy. He's got lots of people who love him, and he's healthy and happy. We had his two month appointment at the doctor this week, and he is now 14 lbs and 23.5" tall. His weight is in the 92 percentile for his age! Here he is at 2 months old.
