Happy Father's Day!

9 months ago an amazing hunk of a stud was able to welcome in a spunky baby boy...

As he held his little boy for the first time, he realized his life would never be the same again

I'm the lucky gal who gets to call this incredible man mine. I can't believe how lucky Steven and I are to have such a man like Mike in our lives. Steven is the luckiest baby...he doesn't even know! I love to see them interact together and the friendship and bond that they already have. Its the cutest thing ever!

Right from the get go Mike has take to being a Daddy like a fish to water. I never was worried, but it still was such a fun experience to see my husband become a Daddy...and such a good one! Mike has loved Steven unconditionally and I still remember how when Steven and I were in the hospital, Mike couldn't sleep so he came back up, just to hold Steven and be by me. I woke up to him sitting in the chair holding our son. How glad and lucky am I that Mike loves being a Dad?

Its hard to remember Steven ever being really tiny, but he was! Even though it scared him at first...Mike loved holding Steven as a newborn and has commented on how he misses how he would just lay and snuggle there. Luckily Steven has started a snuggle phase again and Mike is eating it up again! And boy does he get the snuggles! You can tell Steven loves his Daddy :)

Our Family wouldn't be complete without you Mike!

I have loved seeing Mike be such a good daddy to our son. He has gotten to stay at home and spend a lot of one-on-one time with Steven, and I have often thought he does a better job than I ever could! He gets down and crawls with him and tickles him, and...shoot I'm crying! And I love how every night when I'm off from work Mike says, "Let's go look at our son while he's sleeping...he's just so cute!" But I really remember one night when he told me, "I go in and look at him every night before I go to sleep...I just love looking at him!" I can tell Mike loves our boy so much and he is SUCH a good Daddy!

So Mike remember...YOU are my Prince Charming...

And YOU are our Super Hero Dad

And YOU make our family complete.

Happy Father's Day Honey! 

Sure do love and appreciate all you do!

P.S. Steven told me this morning that you're his favorite Uncle, Aunt...YOU are his favorite everything but most of all his favorite friend and Daddy :) 

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AMAZING BABE!

He's 9 months old...HOLY COW!!

Really? Was it only 9 months ago that we were welcoming our little bundle of joy into our lives? I still can't believe it...its gone by so fast and I just love this little munchkin SOOO much! We had his nine month appointment on Friday and he weighs 21 lbs (50-75%) and is 29 1/2 inches tall (75-90%). I haven't been putting his head, but that was 48 inches (95+%). Crazy big munchkin :) So Steven has always been a kinda snotty baby (literally, not in his attitude). When I asked the doc about it he said that Steven wasn't sick, he just was teething and has allergies. So we now have Steven on zyrtec, we'll see if that helps...fingers crossed! Steven has started doing lots of things...he can now clap his hands (and will do so whenever we say, "yay!") he laughs all the time, has two bottom teeth and get this....FOUR of his top teeth are coming in. One has actually broken and another is pretty close. The funny thing is I didn't even know it was four till I felt the one had broken through! This kid is way too happy and good for his own good :) He has started climbing up onto things (like the baker's rack and the fireplace self), will pull himself up and walk around or walk pushing things around. He's learned a lot from Capri who is only a month older so that's fun. He loves peek-a-boo and LOVES to eat! He's getting so big!

We've given him one hair cut so far, but his hair is getting long again. The above two pictures are when we'd been outside in the rain for a bit, so his hair was damp, and then while nursing I usually play with his hair...this was the end result. So you can kinda see how long it is and yep, it has some wave and curl to it! I'm kinda curious how it'll go if we let it grow a little bit longer. Haven't decided if we'll cut it or keep growing it out. Mike wants to grow it out and have him be Thor for Halloween...yeah we'll see.

I love this little series of pictures...it made me fee good :) So here Steven sees me...

Decides he wants me (at least that's what I tell myself, not that he wants the camera)

"I'm coming mommy!"

Almost there...

 Yay! I made it!!

Honestly, this kid is crawling faster all the time! I love to watch him explore

LOVE YOU STEVEN!! So glad we have this little bundle of joy in our lives...can't imagine life without him and can't believe how fast they grow! Enjoy the pics below of him crawling...sorry it took me so long to get some up.
