Happy VAL Day!!!

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! Ours was great. We spent the day together and made sure to take a picture of Gavin's first Val day. For dinner we decided instead of fighting the crowds at a restaurant, we would make dinner together. We made Chicken Parmesan with ceaser salad. It was yummy! And Gavin was just sleeping in his swing the whole time! We decided not to get traditional gifts, just cards, although Grier did bring home a bottle of wine. And he filled up my car with gas, which was nice. I guess that is more practical than a bouquet of flowers that will die in a week, ha ha!

Well I am enjoying my last week home with Gavin, as it is back to work on Monday. Bummer! Although I have been off work since early october and getting paid the whole time, so I am VERY grateful for that!!! I will miss not seeing Gavin as much, but my career is important to me too and I know I am doing what is best for my family! And we all need health benefits, so it's back to work I go! Hopefully I can remember how to be a financial analyst , since all I have been thinking about has been how to be a mommy. Wish me luck!

Adjusting to motherhood- 3 months old

Some people say that having a baby and becoming a mother is so difficult. In my opinion, they are just trying to scare you! If you are ready and responsible, it is an amazing experience. Yes, there were some things to get used to, like broken up sleep and changing tons of diapers. But, definitely the best experience of my life. It makes me feel so important and needed, as this little human life depends on us so much. It is so amazing that we created him!

I seriously can't believe how quickly the weeks have gone by since he was born! He just turned 3 months old! Wow! And he is getting so big! He weighs about 14 pounds now and is such a healthy eater! All he gets is breast milk, and he is still a little piggy, eating until his belly sticks out like a big round balloon!

At 3 months Gavin is:
Sitting up (with help) leaning against the couch or in the Bumbo
Smiling tons and loves playing peek-a-boo
Just starting to laugh...well more of a little chuckle occasionally 
Batting at his toys on his play mat
And loving his swing (of course!)

Our Wedding ~Feb. 28th, 2010

This is a "catch up" post about our wedding in 2010. After about 5 years together, Grier and I decided to get married on a Cruise ship, so we could trade a 1 day wedding for 7 strait days of fun (Carnival Mexican Riviera cruise)! It was amazing! About 40 of our closest family and friends were able to join us on the cruise. Every where we went on the ship, we saw people from our group: at the pool, at the club, at the restaurants and bars, on the excursions off the ship...it was awesome. Yes, you may say that we spent our "honeymoon" with 40 other people, but we wouldn't have had it any other way! It really was the best times of our lives! We can't wait to go on another cruise someday!!!
