First Week of September, 2008

Last week was great. Jay went back to work, but my friend Sachiko stayed with me to help me out. It was nice to have help from her! Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures, so you'll have to take my word for it! Here are some pictures from the last week:

Daniel's first real bath went well.. he screamed at first, but liked the warm water eventually.


"What are you DOING to me?!?"



Jay and Danny watch football on Saturday morning


Danny gets used to life in the comMANd center

Here ya go, Rebekah!

Aunt Rebekah is mad at me for not posting photos recently... so here ya go!

Am I too little to be sitting in this chair? Probably... Does it keep Mom and Dad from trying? No!





Mommy time!


I love love love this photo of Jay and Danny...



Wax on... Wax off...


"My Diaper is Voting For Change" onesie courtesey of Leah!


Why if you don't get that camera outta my face!!!


Daniel practices his roundhouse kick...

Danny smiling

I know, I know, he can't control his facial muscles very well yet, but hey, its cute anyway!

Clean Machine...

Daniel on his tummy!



"Smile?? I'll think about it....."



Somebody's tired!



A picture speaks a thousand words.... at 2am this morning, Daniel decided to "baptize" Dad... (check out his pants....)





Time for Danny's first (sponge) bath. (Notice that Dad is being more careful to avoid being sprayed again!)



Mommy washes Daniel's hair


Baby's all wrapped up the the hooded towel from Grandma!


Danny loves to stare at the quilt on the wall!

Lazy Saturday...

Aunt Bridget came from Boston today! We were so excited to show off Daniel some more. Also below, Daniel and Daddy watch golf...

More family time!

Our second day at home was spent visiting with family. My mom and dad stayed at our house and were a HUGE help. They did everything from cooking and laundry, to fixing our toilet, watering the plants, and putting some of our baby equipment together! I couldn't have done it without them! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Kitsie and Granddad:




Its nice to have my appetite back!


Daniel loves to stare at his Daddy and calms down whenever he hears his voice


That's right folks... There's a new sherrif in town! (I made this shirt too!)




Daniel tries out the "Pak'n'Play". He loves to be swaddled, and thanks to Ms. Stacey, Daniel has a blue SwaddleMe blanket! (Everything else he owns is yellow and green!)


"Uh... guys?? I'm not so sure about this Pak'N'Play anymore...did anybody read these warning labels?!?"

Time to come home!

We got to leave the hospital 36 hours after we got there! That's a ringing endorsement of a good delivery :) (Or maybe they just needed the bed... ha ha)

Daniel strapped into his carseat and ready to go on his first car ride.





Finally home!
