Random acts of the camera...

Roman enjoying his jumper I just hung... he had no clue what to do with himself at first, but he caught on and did some moving around with his feet on the floor.

My big happy man...

After bath time... this is when I call him my "Kiddo-Burrito" :)



A family photo on Jim's first Father's Day! We went to the Detroit Tigers game and enjoyed the weather and a win from the team!!!


I was making cupcakes and put a little chocolate frosting on Roman's pacifier... clearly he enjoyed it but was disappointed to have run out.




Well, things are moving fast for us. Roman is already over 3 months old. He's big and healthy and does something new everyday. I am so happy being a Mom and so happy to see Jim enjoying fatherhood. He is really good with Roman, loves to make him smile and enjoys playtime. I would have to say that Jim is Roman's favorite playmate/toy right now. He really gets excited to see his Daddy. Roman went this morning for his 3 month pictures! he spit up on his outfit however 2x and was not too pleased with some of the poses the photographer was trying to get him to make... but overall we got some adorable poses, and next Friday I get to go look at the proofs. We went to Woodard Photographic at Levis Commons and they were great and really professional. Yesterday at Meijer I bought Roman a little $8.00 kiddie pool and a pair of swim trunks and he took a dip in the pool for the first time! At first he was not to happy about it, but once I think he realized how hot it was outside, and that the water felt good... he sat down and seemed to really relax. It's so fun being at home with him and watching him grow and do new things. He's such a good happy baby. I have never been so busy before in my life... between being a mom, and going to school, and cleaning and cooking and and all that jazz- days just fly by and before I know it it's time for bed. I hope to update the blog more often then I have been... but we shall see...

Cutie...

Roman went to the Toledo Zoo for the first time on Friday. He was such an angel. Roman was covered in SPF 55, but we couldn't resist getting him his first hat from the zoo to block him more from the sun. He seemed to really enjoy it covering his eyes, and we had a great day walking the zoo and watching the animals. I will say that I was a little depressed at the Gorilla exhibit. There was a beautiful Gorilla, he was sitting right against the glass staring at all of the people staring in at him. The look on his face was so depressing, he just looked miserable being in captivity. I swear as weird as it sounds that he and I made eye contact and it just tugged at my heart. I walked away and started to cry. I told Jim I could never work at the zoo... I would be the crazy radical person who lets all the animals free at night "GO AND BE FREE ANIMALS! GO AND BE FREE!!!" I'd end up on the news.

Jim sat Roman up to watch tv with us on the couch the other night, and within only a minute or two the little guy just tipped over and passed out.

Smiley baby!!! I love it - how can anyone not melt when a baby smiles? It is the most innocent, happy thing in life. I like to see it as often as I can.


Reach for the stars my sweet little man!
