No Photo Today?

Wow, I haven’t taken a photo of you yet today and it’s already 555PM. I did see you a few times today though when I took some breaks from work. It’ll be interesting to see how we settle down after your uncle and grandparents go back to New York. 

Like most things in life, we’ll do what we have to do because it has to be done. Here’s a picture of me giving my impression of you with no neck. It was pointed out to me that your cousin Avery also had no neck in the beginning. So hopefully you’ll be alright.

Stork Bites

Hi Buddy. Today I learned about stork bites. I honestly think it’s a way to make people feel good about marks on their babies and I still hope yours goes away. Not that I think it makes you any less adorable, but I’m just afraid of immature or mean kids.

In the meantime, I’m gonna try to teach you to be okay in your own skin and to know your worth, priceless. 

Graduation 👨‍🎓

Today you graduated. From riding with a guide. You rode alone in the car with just papa. We had a nice chat and I sung you songs. It’s one of many things we have to practice with you.

Next, we’ll need to get you comfy with your number 2 ranked cousin (according to your momma). I get the whole “stranger danger” thing, but he’s not a stranger. Anyhow, you did good today and someday soon you may get to meet mommy’s coworkers.

Re-Lapse?

You cried last night like we are in Hawaii. But I think we just aren’t getting your signals right away. I’m gonna try to be more observant of you. Not sure if your grandparents are guessing, but they seem to think they know what’s going on with you.

I probably shouldn’t take pictures with you because you’re so cute that I look extra unattractive 😂. Anyhow, like I said, please give us consistent and more signs and be patient. Love mom and dad ❤️!

Smile

As long as you’re smiling, I think everything is okay. It’s fun to watch you smile when you see your reflection. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence or if you recognize faces, but it’s fun to watch.

You look like the most adorable emoji. Thanks for not having any more Hawaiian meltdowns. Your current crying we can deal with. Hopefully we’ll continue to learn about you and you won’t need to cry as much at all. Lest we make you apologize to everyone for your fake crying. 😂 

Your First Black Friday

WWW. There’s nothing to buy or needed for you. Which I guess is a good thing. You also had your first Thanksgiving and you did good.

Everyone was so proud of you. Another good job. Just like the flights Hawaii. Also thanks for waking up calmly in the morning and sleeping longer at night. You’re making good progress. Keep it up.

Your First Thanksgiving

We have to find out if we still have the turkey hat. I was gonna have you and Martina wear it. I guess we’ll just settle for this years run shirts if we can’t find them.

Here’s what I’m thankful for. Hopefully you’ll make us proud son. No pressure 😂. But we’re setting the bar pretty low. Just need you to be independent and a good person. Great would be better, but good is a-okay.
