Wishes

I wish I had started this blog back before you were born, Jayden. I'd like to think I have more time to do it now, so I'll try to catch up now that you are going to be a big sister.

I still love looking at this pic. You showed us a little smirk that day and we couldn't wait to see it in person. This was at 30 weeks and 5 days.
Nearly 6 weeks later, you came to see us. It was the best day of our lives! May 31, 2009 at 3:14pm. You were born at St. Vincent's hospital. You weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and you were 19.5 inches long.

While your first smile may have likely been gas, it still made our day and this was taken on the day we were able to take you home; June 2, 2009. This also happens to be the day that your mother proposed to me.
The Robinson family became a party of three and the months to follow were filled with laughter, love, & lessons. Sleep, not so much.

This is one of my favorite newborn pics of you. Taken on your third day home, sleeping with Mama Heidi.

By your second month, you had already grown so much! This is also about the time we introduced you to your water submerged baths...fun times!

This was taken 08/23/09. Your smirks and laughs were the best entertainment for new moms! Our little silly girl.

Early into your fourth month, you were coo-ing and gurgling to your hearts content. On this particular night, you were "singing" and kept us up laughing way past your bedtime, missy! This was September 5, 2009.

Our baby in her Halloween pj's. You probably had a halloween outfit for every day of your fifth month.

I absolutely love this picture. It was early November. You were still short on hair, but cute as a botton!

Santa baby! Your first Christmas was so special. You got an Elmo toy that was just the right size to fit in your hands. It laughed every time his head tilted back and you giggled every time he did. It was so cute. You could also sit up on your own now, which was great for Mama Heidi's photography sessions.

This picture was taken in mid January, your eigth month. You have a visor just like Mama Heidi. You were sitting with your MeMe.

Your first Valentine's day! While this was one of your many photo sessions, we actually didn't pose you that way.We sat you up, and your crossed your hands and put on the serious face. You still had your baby fat.

Your hair was coming in more by your tenth month. You were crawling, pulling up, and smiling all the time!

This was a little into your twelth month, but close enough! We went to Botanical Gardens and got some really cute pics of you. You had just enough hair now to actually put a clip in it, rather than attatching a ribbon with toothpaste.

This was your first Birthday party at MeMe's. We had two separate parties for you. One for family and one for friends. You love cake! This messy one was made by Mama Lace. Can you tell?
