Life Lessons - Relearned

1. Babies poop. A lot. Not nessesarily often, but A LOT.

2. Babies cry. A Lot.

3. Babies don't like to sleep at night.

4. Babies think it's okay to pee as soon as the diaper comes off.

5. Babies eat a lot.

6. Those big blue eyes, toothless grins, and overall adorable cuteness make all of the above totally worth it.

5 Days Old

My New Love

Rocket arrived on May 19, 2010 at 2:21am. He weighed 8lbs and was 20 inches long. We are so happy he is finally here and we all think he is just the cutest thing ever. He was born at home (as planned), but before the doctor got there (not planned) so Scott and my mom got to deliver him. It was a very quick labor (1hr 36mins), with the first hour consisting of very weak and irregular contractions. Though his entrance to the world was quick, everything went great and the experience was quite amazing. We are so lucky to have this little man in our lives!

The above picture was while waiting for the doctor to arrive.

Do not disturb

the 5 1/2 year old who wants to sleep in his unborn brother's pack 'n play. He slept crammed in there the entire night!

What a goof!

Lunch with Daddy

Tax season is always busy for Antonio, and he doesn't get to spend as much time with the boys as he would like. Gambit and I took advantage of some beautiful weather and went down to have lunch with Antonio at a park nearby his Vancouver office (his firm is actually in Portland).

Kung Fu Graduation

Ninja has been participating in Kung Fu since January and just graduated to his next belt (yellow). He's been doing such a great job and loves it so far.

Graduation group

Waiting for his turn to do his "form" (a series of moves they learned to earn their next belt).

Lesson Learned....again.

I have learned, once again, not to leave styrofoam blocks within reach of little hands unless I want to clean up tiny little bits of "snow". Which, by the way, are utterly frustrating to sweep up.
