The Happy Baby

Ok, I know we haven't updated for a little bit, but here is a video that will make up for it. Jesse is growing and developing so fast. He has now started to smile and laugh a bit...and he is sooooo cute! Babies should not be allowed to be so cute! Watch the video. I know you'll agree. =)

March 24th

Our 1st anniversary was Monday!!! Yeah!!!!!! We made it through the first year! =) It's been a great first year. To celebrate, I went and helped some friends - the Ross family - move. This is their youngest child, Jerad, with Jesse. I wish they could have had a chance to become friends. They are only about three and a half months apart.
This is Erin Ross. She is one of the first people who made friends with me at the church we are now attending.
That night when Stephen got home, we tried to go out for a nice romantic dinner at Red Lobster ( I love fish, and Stephen very graciously took me, even though he does NOT like fish). Our romantic dinner turned into an eat-and-run because Jesse (who had had a shot at the doctor's that morning) woke up crying and grumpy, so we ended up rushing to end our dinner, then going home and trying to make him happy for the rest of the evening. Oh, well. I am thankful for this first year of marriage, despite the fact that celebrations were cut short. And I still adore my baby. =)
And yes, Stephen did bring me flowers...a hand picked boquet. =)

Growing fast

Jesse is growing so fast! His eyes able to focus better every day, now to the point where he looks steadily at objects that are in front of him, and even moves his head to follow something that is moving. This video is him in his bassinet, watching a toy that I dangled from the top of it. It kept him entertained for about a half an hour straight! He's so adorable!

Bathtime and Uncle N8

Jesse loves his baths and his Uncle N8.

A Shower, A Visit

I was given a baby shower at my church on Sunday the 9th, and both my mom and my mother-in-law were able to make it down...along with my four younger sisters, and my Grandma Hyson.
Mama 'Bell came down Saturday afternoon and stayed all day Sunday, and everyone else came for the day on Sunday. It was so much fun seeing them all!!! We all hung out at my house after the shower...and went a little picture crazy.
Is Joey always tired these days????

A new way to travel

I love this pack. It gives me two hands to use agian!

Laundry?

I was doing laundry, and set Jesse down in the basket of clothes I had just taken out of the hot dryer so that I could carry them all inside together. He was almost asleep already, and I guess he liked the warm clothes, because he fell asleep as soon as I put him down. Isn't he the cutest load of laundry you ever did see?
