One month and One Week

Wake Time!

Our little Shane is changing quickly before our eyes... he is starting to have more and more "awake" time and is starting to respond to our voices and associate where the sounds are coming from - he's so amazing and we're truly enjoying every minute with him and watching him grow.

A Precious Month...

Happy One-Month Birthday Shane!

We celebrated Shane's one-month birthday with red velvet cupcakes, but because he's still too small to enjoy them, he got a bottle of mommy's-milk and some one-on-one daddy time!

Shane's Squeaks!

Since the day Shane was born, he's had the cutest breathing rhythms and made the cutest baby-noises that his Pediatrician said were all normal.  We could watch him sleep all day long and notice that he makes these "baby squeaks" sounds which earned him the nickname "Squeaks!"

Here are a couple of videos that I took earlier last week (press "pause" on the music box at the very end of the blog down below for optimum sound):

Milk Machine!!

June 18, 2010

Now that Shane is 4 weeks old, we have introduced the bottle (with mom's milk) to him and he goes back and forth between mommy feedings and the bottle.  After he went down for a nap this afternoon, I was putting some freshly squeezed milk in the freezer for storing and saw all of the "mommy's milk" we have built up and instantly felt like a "milk machine!"

A mini celebration a day early for Shane's 1 month!

June 17, 2010

Our complex threw a "Hawaiian BBQ" to appreciate their residents so Mike and I stopped by for some food.  It's been so hot in San Diego that we asked the family if they wanted to come over and swim and hang out to celebrate Shane's 1 month birthday a day early - as a new parent, you realize the value of every day, most especially the first month!  Mike put some hamburger meat together and mom and dad brought some fixtures and snacks and we enjoyed a day out by the pool.  I can't wait to shape-up and join them for a swim soon!

Father and Son Mohawks

I took this picture a couple of weeks ago.  It was after the first day-time nap I finally convinced myself I needed... Of course, when I woke up - Mike had shaved his head and gave himself a mohawk to mimic Shane's!  I can't say I "loved it" because I prefer Mike with a little more hair, but knew I had to capture the moment to one day be able to tell Shane that "his daddy wanted to be just like him!"
