Hello Abigail. Today I decided I better check in since I am shooting out photos and videos of you... http://www.youtube.com/user/jbmoments is where I keep all the videos. Maybe it'll still be around when you get to see this someday.
I still haven't decided how I want to use this site. Sometimes I think it'd be easier as a photo post, cause I take so many pics of you... but then I think it'd be fun to tell you stories too... anyway, I don't have much time now that I'm back to work. Work with you as a 10 week old baby has been ok, better than I can imagine if you weren't here anyway. I am now finding that I love spending time with you so much, it makes me less interested in my day job... I used to "love" my job. I really did. I've been in graphics for over 13 years now. But now that I have you I find I'd much rather spend my time learning about parenting and being there for you. If I ever decide to leave my profession as a designer, it will be to care for you... right now I have to keep it up. But maybe someday I'll get to do something else. At least I work from home now so it's not like I have to take you to day care... just juggling you and a fulltime job is like 2 jobs in 1! Hopefully daddy will get to work on days soon and we will have an easier time of it all. Not that you're hard, cause you're what makes me happy all day. It's just tiring when I am still nursing you, and not sleeping... I should be sleeping now since you are sleeping!! Oh well. I gotta write to you when I can. Hee hee!
Daddy is at the Red Sox game with Uncle Steve tonight in Boston so its just us. He is so excited to be there and is buying you your first Red Sox onesie to wear to the Jersey family reunion this summer. He adores you, and I posted the picture here even though he will not be happy about it. I just think it is the more adorable photo of you and him. You're both so peaceful and cute. I wish I could snuggle up with you both too.... You have been growing so much lately, and I really notice it in these pictures. You're now smiling and trying to laugh, and cooing, and just so cute!! You love your swing -- you could sit in it all day I think, but somebody's gotta change those poopy diapers :-) You make me laugh so much... there is a mirror above your swing seat which you can see yourself in. Just a couple days ago you must have realized this. You may or may not know it's you in the mirror. I like to think you see yourself but you think it's a friend... so when you get up from the swing I always tell you that your friend will be there again when you get back in the swing. We sometimes say we wish we had a swing in every room of the house for you, you like it that much!! Anyway, you are such a good baby... we're so lucky to have you.
Your christening is next week, April 20th. A few people are coming, about 40 family members and their kids, your cousins. Grandpa Bernie will be here mid-week to see you a few extra days, and so will Grandpa Steve. I can't wait for it to happen. We take you to church now and you always sleep through it. It's really nice. I'm wondering how it will be when you start to stay awake through services. Will you be a loud baby or a sweet quiet baby... we shall see!
Well I'll be back in touch soon my sweet little one. Love you very much, Mommy
