Shrine

I pretty much have a shrine dedicated to you at my office. Each month, I've put a new picture of you up on the outside of my wall, and my screensaver shows various pictures of you whenever I've stepped away. You are a topic of every conversation and you are admired by all. It's pretty ridiculous how much I love you and your preciousness. But I'm cool with looking ridiculous because you make me so very proud to be your Auntie Tiffy.

Colorado Fave Photos

Your Uncle and Mommy went to visit Selby Grandparents in Colorado for a week. Here are some pictures of your first trip to Colorado! You are wearing a shirt that I got you for your Gramma that says "What happens at Grandmas, stays at Grandmas" in Vegas lights. You are such an adorable baby boy!

Proud parents



Could any baby look more cuter on his first day? That button nose and pouty lips get me everytime.



Tiny little toes

KICK!!!

We felt you kick for the first time last weekend! I can say that it was the most incredible feeling I've ever felt. I can't imagine what it must be like for your mom who can feel you move and kick and swim around. It's so amazing! We kept gathering around your mom with hands anxiously placed on her belly to feel your next move. This is just the most awesome experience to see you grow and live off your mom. Your daddy is just as thrilled and sometimes falls asleep with his hand on your mom's belly, or so I've heard. :)

The fabulous foursome made onesies for your closet, so you have a complete wardwrobe from us stylish ladies.

OMG!

I look at the pictures on the previous blog and I can't believe how much you've grown. It's been a while since our last post, but we've been keeping busy awaiting your arrival. From our last entry, you've grown to such a big boy:

15weeks:

20 weeks:

We had dinner with your mommy and daddy on Sunday and celebrated Halloween a little late. Your mom cooked her best dish and uncle BryBry and Dad worked on the cameras. After dinner, we all took turns painting you for your first Halloween! I nearly bawled when your dad wrote your name on the pumpkin cheek. They are so proud of you and can't wait to see you! We missed the kicking festivities, because of the time change...you're already on a schedule. :) Lindsay and I are busy away planning the shower in your honor. I can't believe there are less than four months left until we get to see your precious little face. Hang in there...

You've Got Website!

Your mom sent a link to this website that she created to keep updated on all things YOU throughout the next seven months!
