Introducing my niece, Peyton Arianna Moro!

Sweet girl! She was born Wednesday, January 19th
at I want to say 8:05am. She weighed 8lbs and was
19inches. I can't believe she's almost 2 weeks old
already! Mommy, Daddy and baby are all doing
fine. Getting use to the changes and excitment.
I think she looks a lot like Val did when he was
brand new but everybody says she looks like Dez,
what a great combination!
I am thrilled to finally be an aunt! And, I hope
I get to meet her sooner then later. Congratulations Val and Desiree! She's beautiful!

Drew-be-do-be-do at 4 1/2 months

Well, we've really been working hard on getting Drew
into a night time routine. Mike and I get a real kick out
of watching Drew in the tub. He splashes and goes crazy.
After the bath daddy styles Drew's hair into a real cute
mohawk. I tried to get a good shot but this was the
best I could do. The best part about the "babehawk"
is that it stays in place, it's like his hair wants to be that way!!He's into grabbing everything!! Mike looking at his son with
such joy. It's only the beginning of a lifetime of love
and companionship. Drew loves his daddy so much, he
laughs so hard and is so happy when his dad is around. Mike
really is the best daddy and husband. Since the day Drew was
born Mike has been right by our sides ready to do whatever
it takes to make us happy. It's so awesome to watch Drew
and Mike interact, they make a great team.
Go Cougs!!!! And you'll see one of the fancy
pacifiers Grandma Moro got him.
Thanks Aunt Lurr for the cute outfit, I wore it to
a baby shower and was a REAL hit!
Look mom and dad I'm all ready for bed!! This bed time
and napping stuff is a piece of cake...except when I get
my foot caught in between the slats, Oops!!!
Bath time!!!
My recent new trick, and favorite thing to do
when I get out of the tub! Aren't I cute?
Mmmmm, I like sweet potatoes. AND sweet peas
and avacado! Next is prunes!!
These two pics are out of order, this one is before
food, the above is after.
He loves his playmat, it's one of his daily stations!
He also enjoys just laying on a blanket playing with toys
or sucking on something, his swing is fun too, he'll
watch a half hour of Baby Einstien or the
Backyardagains, he was just introduced to the doorway
jumper and LOVES that, he's a busy guy!!
Boy do these little guys grow fast! He continues to
work on rolling over and many other things. Today
I watched him as he controlled his own pacifier!!!

Love You Forever

So it's Friday night and I'm feeling a little emotional
in that we're transitioning Andrew into his crib.
So far it's going okay but I've had a "hawk eye" on the
monitor and it's been about an hour since we put him
down. I've only had to go in once to replace his
pacifier. He's cried a few times but doing okay, I'll
let you know in a few days how it ends up. Anyway,
our four and half month old is just amazing. He's SO
alert, SO hysterical and so happy...most the time!
He can offically (as of tonight) put his toes in his mouth,
scream just to hear his voice, eats baby sweet potatoes,
can sort of replace his pacifier if it's close by, laughs when
he sees himself in the mirror...especially when he's naked!
He's growing so darn fast!
In this picture I am reading
him one of the books Santa brought him, "Love You Forever!"
I can barely get through reading it without getting
choked up, it's just a touching story and I
think about my life with Andrew so much as I'm reading it. If I
could I would hold him in my arms forever. I know
I've probably said this a thousand times but the love
I feel for him could never be equated into numbers.
I just know "I'll Love Him Forever." Harper
had to be a part of it too. Like I said earlier, my favorite thing is having Andrew in my arms.
He fell asleep with his little hand touching under
my chin, I was so touched by this moment I had
to have Daddy snap a shot. Ugh, "I Love Him Forever!" She's gonna hate me for not asking if I can post
this picture of her but I think it says a lot. She
is the gal that has "Loved Me Forever" and to see
my little boy being "Loved by her Forever" is priceless.
Can you see little Andrew's hand on Grandma? Oh
and of course the dog needed to be a part of it too!Thank you for "Loving Me Forever" mom.
If you don't own this book go out and get it, read it
to your babies...a lot!!

The Holidays...and I need to post more often!!

What a wonderful Christmas it was! Christmas is
my holiday, I think I come by it honestly in that my
Grandma Moro and my parents love(d) the season.
While I know it is important to count my blessing daily,
I really seem to find myself reflecting during the holidays.
This year brought such a wonderful, new love for
Christmas, in that I got/get to share it for many years to
come with my new addition, Andrew! I know he's too
young to appreciate it yet, but I felt like a kid again!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
At home in WA celebrating Christmas...on the 27th!My Uncle Walter, Aunt Candy and Grandpa Larry
came down for Christmas dinner. Drew loved
being in Aunt Candy's arms!
My little boy praying and wishing baby Jesus (in a manger)
a Happy Birthday!
When someone new comes into the Moro household
they get a homemade stocking! Drew got a Grizzly bear
dressed in Cougar gear. I love it! Thanks Grandma!
Andrew spent a lot of time in Grandma Moro's arms!
He is always happy there.
Andrew and Uncle Stephen...they make each other laugh.
Sweet love, sweet love. I'm overwhelmed by the love
I feel for this little guy. Sigh...
He's four months old!! Crazy how time flies.
Christmas morning aftermath at the Leah/Mike
household. It was our first and quite a success! Even
the cats were pooped out.
Santa had arrived!!
What a great holiday season. We rang in the New Year
with my mom/dad/The Shippees and Aunt Lurr (Lorissa),
it was perfect!
May this year be good to you all! I hope this year is filled with
time spent with all of you.
