It's May already! Time to catch up!


Hello! I've fallen behind on my blogging lately since we've been full of sickness at our house. First I had a stomach bug and then Sebastian got it (poor baby...you guys saw the post) and we are just now after two weeks starting to get back to normal. The laundry piles have been atrocious! =) Matteo is doing super well - nursing great, sleeping longer stretches at night (not always, but sometimes!), and weighing in at about 12 pounds! He's getting quite chunky on breast milk! Enjoy pictures from the last two weekends before all the sickness began. =) Thanks for the prayers for our recovery - we are finally at the end!


On April 16, Auntie Tiffany, Matteo's godmother came to meet Matteo for the first time. Matteo loved looking at his Auntie Tiff. Sebastian also loved playing with "Iff" during her stay with us.

Matteo had his first bottle ever. It was breast milk and he did great with it. It's a nice treat for Daddy to get to feed him sometimes.

Auntie Donelle came to visit too and it was great to have the three of us together. Hard to believe that we are going on knowing each other for 10 years now! Wow!
Paul puts Sebastian to bed every night and about 50% of the time I go in after it has been quiet for a while and both of them are asleep. It's so cute to see them all cuddled up together.

Matteo chilling out in the swing. Nice hair! He is so big!

Sebastian really wanted to get into this store. We were waiting for it to open and he was pulling at the locked doors with all his might.

On April 25th was Sebastian's Lab School picnic. There were lots of fun activities for the kids and he had a great time. Here he is waiting for the helicopter to land. Love the pensive look.

Watching the landing...

Matteo smiling away during the picnic as he hung out in his stroller.

Sebastian and his friend Sophia making funny faces. I love this picture. They see each other sometimes up to four times a week so they are pretty good buddies.

Starting to give out smiles!

Roar!!! Get that lion Matteo! He is really tracking things with his eyes and studying items with much more concentration these days.

Matteo with Dr. McTammany the OB that delivered him.
Trying on Daddy's shoes.
Tummy time! He is really starting to push up more and even rolling a little on his side. He loves to coo and talk to you too!

One of my favorite recent pictures. He is such a happy baby!
