3 months old!!

This picture took a little more effort than it may appear! After a few attempts, we had to go nurse & then come back & try again. Well worth it; another photogenic baby! My sisters (they were 7 yo when I was born) cannot get over how much he looks like me when I was a baby. (Finally!!)
I can't believe Esten is 3 months old already!! Since we stayed in FL so long... I took him to a Pedi here for his (late) 2 month check-up & shots (yuk)... On July 10th he was 12# 13ounces (50th %) and 24 inches long (75th %). I'm still in shock!! Adria & Brayden never made it out of the 10-20th % until the past two years! He's going to be a big boy!
Adria is not at all shy for the camera.
My big boy. Every year my heart breaks a little more to see how quickly he is growing. But he is a very good boy & makes me very proud.
The group pic didn't turn out as perfect as I would have liked; but no-one is screaming & they are all looking in the right direction. Works for me. The final pics are all cropped in; but I just wanted to share!!

Birth Announcement...


I just love his birth announcement so much, I wanted to post it. I thought I did this already, apparently I'm losing it... I used purplestork.com & it turned out perfect!!

Poor Esten...

June 11th, 2008; sorry it's taken so long to post!!

Grammy's have such fun at their grandkids expense. Grammy thought it would be so cute to put Esten in the doll stroller... and then give him a baby doll. His Daddy would be so proud!! Just for the record, Esten would tolerate anything from Grammy, he lights up & smiles immediately whe his Grammy comes anywhere near him!!
