Jameson Week 6

Happy Valentine's Day!  Last week Jameson and I were busy making Rob's Valentine's gift.  The foot and hand imprints from the previous week came in handy, too!  Thank you for the Valentine's outfit, Grandma Lou...he was in theme for the day :)

Now on the desk at daddy's office.

Showing some pride for daddy's alma mater.  Now I'm in the hunt for a "tiny" golden gopher!!!

So, yes, this is a little late.  The stickers I ordered took forever to arrive, but better late than never!

More fun in the swing.  I'm so glad that I found the electronic noise maker (and by accident nonetheless), which is hanging in the middle between the animals.  I just turn on the white noise and 90% of the time that in combination with the swinging calms him.  It was a wonderful investment.  Prior I was using an app on my phone, but boy was it killing my battery.

Oh Ellie, you'll get to play with him soon enough!

Jameson Weeks 4 & 5

Jameson at play - this is one of the easiest toys for him to grasp, so it's a favorite!

Tired out after a good feeding.  After he was done, Ellie nuzzled her way in.  She just loves this little guy!

Off in sleepy land on the magical swing.

Jameson and me wishing Daddy a good day as he heads off to work.

Gotta love Saturdays - I get both my boys at home!

Play time!

Jameson "monkeying" around...

Jameson's first art project.  I had to capture these little feet and hands.

Can't believe he's one month old!  He's growing more and more interactive each day - when he's in a good mood, he seems to enjoy play time.  He also really enjoys being sung to and moving in rhythm with the music.  His feeding is becoming more predictable, and we can occasionally get 5 hours of sleep in one stretch!

Jameson Weeks 2 & 3

First stroller ride!  We've tried to get out every day since for a stroll around the neighborhood.

Quiet... sleeping baby.

My first attempt at taking Jameson for a walk while walking the dogs at the same time.  Also first attempt at using the ErgoBaby carrier.  After a bit of crying around the first half of the park (Jameson, not me!), the rest of the trip was a success!

Jameson's first "Tummy Time" - he definitely worked on using those arms and legs!

"Working out" with his caterpillar friend on the quilt from Grammy.

A late afternoon nap in the loft.

I just love everything about this pic. :)

OH, BOY!!!

Ellie curled up with her new best friend - bet they can't wait to play together!

Jameson's First Week

Oh the funny looks he gives us already - wonder what he's thinking...

His first car ride - his trip home.  All snuggled up late Wednesday evening, January 9th.

Fast asleep in Grandma Lou's arms.

Aunt Natalie and Uncle Matthew came to town to visit their nephew over the weekend.  We loved having them visit, and Jameson can't wait to see them again.

Jameson's first Packer party!

Mommy's little Allstar.

Jameson's first bath at home.

Dad trying to get a handle on the wet wiggler.

He's a much happier camper post-bath.

I love that cute face!

Delivery Day: It's a Boy!!!

Welcome to the world, Jameson Thomas!  His arrival was long anticipated, as my water broke at 1:45AM Sunday and he was finally delivered at 1:11AM Monday morning, January 7th.  Born at 6 lbs. 12.5 oz., 20 in. long.

One benefit of the long labor was that Grandma and Grandpa were able to make it in time for the delivery and were ecstatic to hear Jameson's first cries from just outside the delivery room door.

Sweet little baby boy :)

39 Weeks

Can't wait for Baby Garnier to join us in a few short days!  Shannon, thank you again for capturing some wonderful pregnancy memories on film!!!

Thank you Aunt Natalie for the "Welcome Home" banner hanging in the nursery.

The nursery is ready for baby!

36 Weeks

Hoping not to unwrap this gift until the New Year!
