Furio is 2 months old!

Written on October 27, 2009 at 1:54 pm, by Nikki

Wow, has it really been another month since our last baby update?

Furio is now 2 months old (well 10 weeks old today technically).

We had his 2 month check up yesterday with the doctor.

Furio is doing great and getting so big!

He now weighs 13 pounds and 4 ounces and he is 25 inches long.

He did have to get his first round of shots. So that wasn’t too fun, but he took it like a man. I think he would have tried to “walk it off” if we had let him loose.

We are enjoying our little man so much. He makes us so happy.

Last night he gave us his first little giggle.

I have yet to catch one of his little smiles on film, but hopefully we will soon.

Nothing beats coming home to his little gummy smile after a long day at work.

That’s all I have for today’s update, but check back often for new pictures of the little dude and his adventures.

Me and Furio are so lucky to have you!  Here’s to many more crazy happy years together.

I love you so much!

Happy Birthday Benny!

Happy 26th Birthday Benjamin!

We’ve been through so many changes this year.

Some good… Some bad… Some amazing.

I have to say, my favorite part of the last 12 months was going from a couple to a family.

You’re such a good Daddy and Husband and a great rolemodel for Furio.

He’s such a lucky little boy to have a Daddy like you and I’m such a lucky Wife!

You always wanted to be a Super hero and now you are to one little guy.

I love you more and more everyday and I can’t wait to see what this next year will bring for us. You never know, it may be just as eventful!

Furio is One Month Old!

Written on September 20, 2009 at 7:06 pm, by Nikki

I can’t believe that Furio is already one month old.

We were warned that he would grow up quickly… but I had no idea it would be this quick.

At his one month check up Furio was 11 lbs. 6 oz. and 23 inches long.

He is currently in the 85th percentile for his age and healthy as a little horse.

He’s such a handsome guy and we just can’t get enough of him.

He’s already starting to give us little smiles here and there and he loves playing and hanging out on his tummy.

I have a hard time remembering that he’s brand new. It feels like he’s been a part of us forever.

It’s so fun seeing what traits he got from Ben and what he got from me coming out in his little personality.  He loves warm water just like his Daddy, but he loves having his feet bare, just like his Mom.

We get a lot of questions about his eyes. As of right now they are navy blue and have been since birth. Both Ben and I have hazel eyes, but we do both have some blue eyed family members, so Furio’s eyes may stay blue.

We are so proud of our little man and look forward to watching him grow and learn.

I will try to update regularly on his progress and check back often for new pictures.

We look forward to introducing our little man to everyone and creating some new family memories.

What a year . . .

I honestly had no idea, the changes that were going to take place in the last year.  Where I was a year ago, seems like eons away from where I am now.

In the last year . . .

• I’ve been ‘let go’ from 2 jobs.  One of which I had spent almost 4 years at.
• We found out Nikki was pregnant
• We moved (first time for me)
• I’ve begun working from home
• We had a baby

I don’t think I’ve had such an eventful 12 months, in all my life.

Anyways, this blog thingy should get updated more often now that we have something ( our handsome lil’ guy ) to blog about.  I’ll be making a few tiny updates to the site as well.
