Long Over-Due Update

To say that life has changed would be an understatement! So much has happened since I last posted!

Silas Ruben joined us on May 11, 2012 after an interesting delivery. I ended up with preeclampsia and was put on magnesium, which I am sure comes directly from the devil. That stuff is not a fun time! He came in weighing 7 lbs, 13 oz and 21.5 inches long! I asked the nurse if she was sure he was mine because I didn't expect him to be that big!

Think his daddy is proud of him? Notice I cut myself out of the picture...preeclampsia makes you swell more than you ever thought you could - that combined with 3 hours of pushing doesn't make for great photos!

Adorable little man!

Such a tiny little taco baby :)

This is at about 3 months old - such a happy little man!

This is my husband's favorite picture so far. It was his first time trying cereal - I don't think he knew quite what to think about it!

I will never get sick of seeing this adorable smile!

Pure naughty - what could he be plotting at such a young age?!

My happy little man!

Love him!

I love my new life. I love staying home and watching my son grow and learn new things. As much as I loved my job and couldn't imagine what life would be like without it, I can't say I would change my decision. I love hearing his coos and laughs all day. He is such a happy, talkative baby. I love the feeling I get when I catch him watching me walk across the room with a big grin on his face. I love the "conversations" we have all day long! He is such a little talker (wonder where he gets that from?) I can't remember what life was like without him! Every day he does something new and exciting! Today he is 4 months old and I love him more every second!
