His Royal Cuteness...

Just look at that darling face....I could eat him up!

We took a walk to the apt. office to get a package this morning...

Working on that chin...

This is one of the first things I bought for JP (as a gift to Matt)...those shoes (from Auntie M and Uncle D) are just a little too big still...

First bath in his bath tub...check out his kung-fu grip on the tubing...(his knuckles are white!)

My husband ROCKS!!! He's such an amazing, STUDLY man! :) He works hard EVERY day. He gets to work at 630am (some days 730a) and doesn't get done with work until 6-7p-ish. So...let's just say that he works a long day. Yesterday I realized we were going to be out of wipies (baby wipes) very soon, nearly out of pampers (in the next day or so) so I called him and asked him to go to store on his way home. He gladly (well, I don't really know if it was done in a 'glad' way...but there was no opposition) said that he would. Another thing on the list was batteries (so we could FINALLY bathe our baby in his awesome bath tub that Uncle Larry and Aunt Carmen gave us (via gift card..Thanks guys!! - thank you note is on it's way!) (btw people...we HAVE bathed our child already in the sink or spit baths...)......

Also on the list was coffee. Now...I have been out of coffee for 10 days now...it has been a long 10 days. (I went without it for most of my pregnancy..I have NO idea how I did it...love for a child, I guess :) I decided that since I have had 2 migraines this week (probably NOT due to lack of coffee, but lack of sleep/stress) that I needed coffee anyway. I had on the list the BEST cheap coffee I have found...YUBAN. It's pretty darn good when you have forgotten the taste of Starbucks. :) So anyway...my darling husband gets home...and I ask where the coffee is because I don't see it. Now this is where the Glory in the Glory Halleluia comes in. He bought me Starbucks! What a man! What a surprise! He didn't have to do that...because our budget certainly allows for the extra $$ to go for the diapers we get to buy....not my addictive habits. :) I love him!

As tired as he is at the end of each day he often graciously changes the next poopy diaper that comes our way (trust me, I get my fair share of these bad boys...) and offers to try to soothe the seemingly unsoothable screaming baby too. JP loves his daddy and often calms down for him after I've tried for SEVERAL painfully loud minutes. :)

Now, you don't think I would post without any pictures, do you?

Here is our preciousness after a diaper change yesterday looking as pleasant as ever! :)

This is not from today...but it is about what he looked like for most of this posting....(I had to take a break...it didn't take long to type it... :) )

This is from last week sometime...he's SO precious!

He's growing SO fast. :( It makes me so sad. Some of his newborn onsies are getting a little snug. I can't believe it!

Praise God we have such a precious, sweet baby. :)

The BEST Job!!!

Our lives turned upside down 19 days ago! We are so happy! It is amazing how fast 9 months go by...I loved being pregnant. I felt great the entire time...and I had 9 months to look forward to our precious boy. It's amazing that you wonder for 9 months what your precious miracle is going to look like...how cute his little feet are going to be...who he will look like...wondering what it's going to be like to be a mommy and a daddy.

I can't believe it has already been 19 days. I'm kind of sad that time has passed so fast. I want to freeze time and just cherish every single moment in slow motion.

I was reminded last week (when I was really tired and the little man was wanting to eat like every 20 minutes and I was just a teeny bit frustrated) that this is something I have wanted my whole life. It's SO true. This time in my life I have waited for forEVER. This is the job I have wanted and I finally have it! I could just stare at him all day long and kiss him every second. The miracle of life is so amazing. Our precious little boy was known by Him before we ever thought of him...before he was even two cells joining together. God is so good!

So...here is our precious boy again...

I LOVE this picture...it was captured just a few moments after he decided to wee-wee all over daddy's arms and the floor making a nice large puddle!

We borrowed my sister's camara and had some fun taking pictures. It's amazing what a nice camara can do for your skills! :) I wanted one before...now I REALLY want one. I don't know what happened to this second picture with the lighting...but oh well. He's cute anyway! What I really like about this one is that it (barely) shows Matt's tatoo and his wedding ring and of course our preciousness looking up at daddy...
