Catch up time!

My handsome little Chubba Wubbas.....

Lets start off with Happy 1st birthday my gorgeous 1 year old...8/22/12 we had a great 1st birthday party for you at the park with all of our friends and family

There were bubbles, face painters, SnoCones & a Carousel!

Hempstead Lake state park, I'm sure we will have many more birthdays here....all our friends & family came, you ran you played you ride the carousel & got too many presents ;)

Walking

Congratulations my love! You at 10 months old have started walking, it's been a week since you took your first steps & your well on your way to getting around on you two chubby little feet all the time now.

9 1/2 months old

At 22lbs your still my chubba wubbas! You started standing all by yourself without holding on to anything or anyone a couple days ago. We went to the beach today and you tried crawling right into the water! You have no fear it's so amazing to watch you explore. You loved the sand the way it felt, even the way it taste. You have 3 teeth two on the bottom one on top. Those started around 7 months. You've been fully crawling & standing with support for a while now & we are convinced your ready to start walking very soon but we will see :)

I'll be sure to post as soon as you do!

5 months

The time is passing so quickly with you, I can't believe your 5 months old already! It's just running away, your such an amazing happy baby, rolling over, cooing, holding your head by yourself, teething, sitting with support, starting solid goods, hanging in the jumper & excersaucer all by yourself! Next thing I know you'll be sitting then walking & talking... Weighing in at just about 17lbs, you are Mommy's favorite chubba wubba! That's been your nickname since you were born...I don't know how but random people just look at you and say what a cute chubba wubba! You were already chubba wubba to me that just confirms it. Love you so verrry much!

Amazed

Sometimes I still can't believe your here! It's such a wonderful beautiful sight to have you here next to me with your ridiculously cute chubby cheeks sleeping here beside me, I just want to stare at you all night. I love you my baby boy!

Welcome to the world Christian.  It was a bright hot sunny Monday.  10 days before your due date, Mommy went to the DR to check on you in my belly.  Dr said all was good, since we had some complications after your big brother Benjamin's birth he recommended that we meet him in the hospital that day so he could induce the labor.  This time I got the epidural immediately and had a very pleasant birthing experience.  The anesthesiologist  did such a good job that i didn't feel the contractions but was still able to move my legs and everything. We went into the hospital around 3pm.  We were so ready for you.  I didn't feel anything and i was so happy throughout the delivery process, i was smiling the whole time telling your dad that i wasn't sure if i was pushing the right way or not because i couldn't feel anything. we had the nurse check and she said your head was right there! amazing, i gave another 2 big pushes and out you were. It was amazing! hearing you cry for the first breath was the most amazing gratifying feeling. All i could think was wow he's here.

 You were our happiest surprise baby. We were so happily surprised to find out you were on the way and i was so surprised by how easily you came out.  You were gorgeous and pink and perfect all your little fingers and toes were so perfect!
I love you

Daddy & Christian

Dear Christian
