Happy 11th month birthday Sean!

Sean is exactly 1 month away from his 1st birthday!  He has outgrown his scale, so we don't know exactly how much he weighs, but he is somewhere between 19 - 20 lbs.! 

Sean has become a lot more alert and playful.  Each week he is changing.  He is now eating 3 meals a day of solids.  He sleeps almost through the entire night.

He is not quite sitting up on his own yet, but will be soon.  And he is getting ready to crawl.  He loves playing with his toys on his tummy.  And we let him watch a little T.V. on some days.  He's becoming an Elmo fan. 

We are busy enjoying time with Sean.

The most beautiful baby in the world

When I look at Sean...I see the most beautiful baby in the world.  To me...he is. 
I don't ever getting tired of looking at him and appreciating his beauty both inside and out. 
"Thank you God for such a sweet, beautful baby boy." 

We are so blessed to be Sean's parents.  We love our baby boy so much!
He is growing and changing.  He is becoming more and more alert and playful. 
He is our baby boy and he needs his Mommy & Daddy to take good care of him and meet his needs.  We are doing our best and growing each day as parents. 

We are appreciating each moment with Sean and know that time passes much too quickly.  We want to remember our boy as a baby...  We are taking a lot of photos to help us remember Sean as a baby boy.  He is growing quickly...18 1/2 lbs.  Average weight for a 7 month old.  He has a good appetite and almost sleeps through the entire night.

Thanks for your continued support,
Sean's Mommy & Daddy

My First Mother's Day

I couldn't end the evening without writing a few words about my First Mother's Day.  This was a very special day.  In some ways it is hard to believe that this day was in celebration of me being a Mother too!  A few years ago I certainly wondered if this day would ever be a reality for me... And here I am a Mother of a beautiful 10 month old baby boy!   Life doesn't get any better than this!   What a blessing Sean is in my life.  I am so proud of him and so happy to be his Mommy. 

I realize this is only the beginning of this journey called "Motherhood", but I am ready for the many lessons that will come my way.  Thankfully, I learned years ago that I'm not perfect.  I will mistakes on this journey and Sean will love me any way.  

Sean is doing really well.  He had a good weekend celebrating Mother's Day.  On Saturday, we (Mommy, Daddy & Sean) took Grandma Harriet for an icecream cone in Downtown Willow Glen.

This morning we relaxed.  In the afternoon, Sean went with Mommy to Starbucks.  Mommy enjoyed an Espresso Frappuccino.  It was a real treat especially when Mommy rarely visits Starbucks. 

Later in the afternoon, we went to dinner with Avó and Avo, Tia Valerie, Uncle Steve and cousins Derek & Bryce.  Sean had a super good time! 

Tonight, we ended our night by Mommy reading a couple of books to Sean, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?"  And " The Very Hungry Caterpillar".  Sean enjoys being read to. 

Daddy fed Sean and Mommy put Sean down to bed. 

What a wonderful First Mother's Day!  How awesome it is to be Sean's Mommy! 

Changes in Sean...

Each week we are noticing more and more changes in Sean.  This week he is trying really hard to hold his bottle by himself.  He is able to hold it, but not able to lift it high enough to actually drink out of it on his own.  We are giving Sean an "A" for effort!

Diaper changing has been interesting this week.  Sean used to lay still and let us change his diaper.  This week he has discovered the buttons on his music mobile, so during diaper changes Sean likes rolling on his side and pushing the buttons.  He's become a lot more active. 

Sean continues to "talk" alot.  He likes it when we repeat his sounds. 

We are all looking forward to our first Mother's Day this Sunday!

May, Mangoes and Music

Sean loves mangoes, but it appears that he may have had an allergic reaction to them... nothing serious just a little rash. 

We took Sean to the park near our home this morning.  He laid on the blanket on his tummy checking out all that was going on around him.  He felt the sand with his feet for the first time.  It was a beautiful Sunday. 

Sean and Daddy hung out together playing guitar while Mommy went out to run a few errands.  Sean enjoyed watching Daddy play guitar. 

Sean is doing great!  We weighed him tonight.  He is at 18.5 lbs!  

Sean is becoming more alert each day.  He loves to play and laugh.
