Disneyland, Here I Come!

This weekend I get to go to Disneyland and I am finally going to meet Grandpa and Grandma R! Then they are going to come to my house for Thanksgiving! I can't wait!

Christian is 2 Months

Time sure is flying by, and I cannot believe how much our baby boy has already grown. It wasn't that long ago that we brought home the little guy with his little birdie (sorry buddy) arms and legs, and now he is beginning to put on some rolls. Christian is becoming more and more alert during the day and slowwwly but surely sleeping better at night. When he is awake he is pleasant and sweet-natured, and is beginning to give some big toothless grins (the ones that make your heart just melt!) He makes the sweetest little sounds while sleeping and eating...and makes grunting sounds at other times- a true boy I suppose. He LOVES to be held, and will almost always fall asleep in our arms...I guess it's the warmest and best place to be!

Poor little guy had his 2 month vaccinations today and did really well. Still not fun (probably worse for mommy.) I was unable to get him a 2 month check-up until November 30th, so I guess we will have to wait on his official weight, height, head circumference...etc. until then.

Christian is growing and changing so quickly. It's true what they say about time flying by with children, which is why it's so important to just enjoy and cherish each and every part along the way...(even if that includes those stinky diapers and sleepless nights.)

Just Had to Share

I love the pictures of Christian sleeping...so peaceful. :o) Makes up for the many interruptions during the night. But really, he is SO worth it all!

Stripes

Apparently baby boys don't wear polka dots (that's reserved for the girls) so it's all about the stripes. Here is Christian sporting some of his outfits and pj's with stripes (all within this past month):

Daddy's wear stripes too! Christian and Daddy with their matchy-matchy shirts.

Christian is 7 Weeks

Christian is growing so quickly! We packed away most of his newborn clothing at 6 weeks and have moved on to size 1 diapers. Surprised that they lasted that long! He is such a sweetheart. So fun to see him change and grow!

Phoenix keeping an eye on his new friend

Already making faces (wonder who he got that from?)

Airplane jammies of course :)

UPDATE

**UPDATE: We are officially out of Edwards on December 20! (Just not sure when exactly we will be reporting to Shaw- Steve may be doing a training en route.)

Good bye Pacific...

...Hello Atlantic! It's official, Steve recently received his orders and we are moving across the country to Shaw AFB in South Carolina! Now we just have to wait on a few details to figure out when we will actually be saying "good bye" to Edwards. It could be as soon as December and as late as February, although it will most likely be sooner than later. We are excited for a change and neither of us have lived on the east coast, so it will be a new adventure! (Isn't it all an adventure with military life?) Steve enjoyed North Carolina during his recent training, so hopefully South Carolina will be nice as well. Mostly we are just looking forward to being in an actual city where we don't have to drive 40 minutes to go out to dinner or just for those every day conveniences that we take for granted. AND we are excited about GREEN. :) Please pray that all the details and loose ends will come together soon and that traveling across the U.S. will go smoothly with a new baby and crazy cat.
