I think we spent the whole next day after you were born just staring at you.  You were so awake and alert.  These were taken that next morning and they are some of my favorites:

Your Poppi got to hold you:

And we watched you sleep…..a lot….

It was a perfect day if you ask me.  It was so fun to get to know you and get to stare at you all day after nine long months of wondering what you would look like and who you would be.

Well since I didn’t start this blog until about 3 months in, I have a little catching up to do so I will start doing some flashbacks.  Where better to start then the beginning….

March 20, 2011 at around 1pm, we drove to the hospital and got ready for your arrival.  I had been in labor since Saturday and by the late morning of the next day it was definitely time to go.  We were so excited to meet you!!!!

And at around 9:17….here you came, all 7lbs and 7ozs of you…..

You were so curious right away.  You just starred and starred at us…..so cute!

and then you slept and slept and slept……

This was quite literally the best day of our lives.  We couldn’t imagine being happier then we were then except that we are because we get to spend each day with you and it just gets better and better!

Mama decided to play with a new lens…..you of course were the subject and you hammed it up quite nicely!

Sieben is your favorite! SHHHHHH….don’t tell Petie!

There will be more fun with this lens later….for sure!
