Snow Day!

This is what we woke up to outside our front door, Snow!!! It was really heavy this morning, but has melted away already. They said we might have flurries, but no accumulation, they were wrong! We usually get snow once, but not this early. It was very nice to wake up to!

Andrew wasn't sure about it how cold it was!

The 2 beggars! I was trying to eat my breakfast, Scout was begging for food and Andrew was begging for milk.

Celebrations

What a crazy past few weeks! We have had lots to celebrate. We have had people come visit us, Andrew turned 2 months old, Tom had his 29th birthday, and we celebrated out 5 year Anniversary! We also spent Thanksgiving in Tyler and Longview.

Meghan, mommy's friend from college, came to see me!

Meghan and her family. Brooke and Jacob were tons of fun!

Andrew was in such a good mood! He is smiling so much more and showing his precious personality!

I love for daddy to hold me!

Aunt Catherine flew from Denver to see me. I can't wait to meet my cousins Emma and Madeline soon!

Grandmother and Granddaddy also came to visit.

Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Jay, and cousin Sarah came too!

Tom and I went to dinner for his 29th birthday.

I am amazed at how fast life goes by. Tom and I have now been married for 5 years. I thought back about everything we have done and accomplished in 5 years, 2 houses, job changes, ups and downs of life, and now a child! I was looking at the pictures below and reflecting on how we have changed.

While in Tyler for Thanksgiving, we got to see my high school friend Libby and her son Mason.

I love talking to DeDe on my changing table.

I had fun with Pops!

Aunt Jessica and her sister Molly kept me entertained!

Uncle Brian isn't very familiar with crying babies, so I showed him what it was like.

Grandmother rocked me in the old family rocking chair.

Grandmother and Granddaddy sang the "Good Morning" song to me and made me smile!

Halloween and Our First Trip

I'm a little behind on posting, sorry. We have been busy the last couple of weeks! We went to Tyler for Halloween because Tom went to Colorado, that was our first long distance trip in the car. It went well on the way there, but coming home was when Andrew cried the majority of the time. Scout would start whining in the back, then Andrew would start to cry. It was like they were taking turns. I needed ear plugs!!! I also started an online business called Pink Posey Designs, painting wall letters and canvas art for children's rooms. Check it out... www.pinkposeydesigns.com
Andrew will be 2 months old next week, time goes by too fast!

Andrew 6 weeks old.

Halloween Night!

Pops and Andrew

I weigh over 10 lbs. now!!!

Andrew is one month old! Every day he is starting to interact more and smile. He is such a cutie! We went to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday, which made me feel like a true mommy. There were strollers, moms, and kids/babies galore! I fit right in. My neighbor, Lauren, went with us. It felt like a marathon trying to get out of the car, get the stroller out, make sure you have everything, etc. I'm glad I had an extra pair of hands. How people do it with 2 kids, I don't know! Anyway, we had fun taking Andrew's picture in the pumpkins. They had so many fun activities to do with kids, it will be a blast when he is older.

Not sure what to think about laying on pumpkins! Andrew wore a pumpkin costume that his cousin Sarah had when she was a baby.

We were so tired by this time!

Inside the Pumpkin House

Forgive me father, for I have sinned! No, just kidding. Tom wanted Andrew to wear his UT outfit for the Texas/OU game this past weekend. As an A&M grad, this was a little hard to stomach, so Tom did the honors of putting it on him.

One month photos

Happy boy!

Andrew Week 3

Sorry it's taken me forever to add pictures! Here are pictures from Andrew's 3rd week. We are getting adjusted to being on our own. We were so lucky to have parents here with us the first 2 weeks. Last week was our first week by ourselves and we survived. Andrew is starting to fill out more and trys to coo and talk a little bit. We have been learning how to deal with his fussiness, the Happiest Baby on the Block techniques are working well, thankfully! Tom took care of Andrew while I got out and went to Target last Sunday. Andrew really initiated Tom into being a Daddy. He cried the whole time while I was gone and just before I got back, he pooped all over the changing table during his 3rd diaper change in 45 minutes! The joys of parenthood! Enjoy the pictures, more to come on Friday when Andrew will be a month old!!!

3 Weeks old, still not sure about taking my picture in the rocking chair.

Hilary and Brian came to visit us.

2 Weeks Old!!!

Wow, 2 weeks have flown by! Andrew went to the doctor yesterday and the jaundice is gone, thankfully! He also gained 4.5 ounces, which was something we wanted to happen since he lost 14 ounces after he was born. We hope he will get back to birth weight soon. He is doing very well, kind of starting to sleep 4-5 hours at a time during the night! We are not going out and about very much, so we would love to have visitors any time! Here are some pictures from our 2nd week.

My 2 week old picture! I kept getting really frustrated because I didn't want my picture taken, that's why I have a funny look on my face.

I finally fit into my swing.

One Week Old!!!

It has been an amazing week! I cannot believe that Andrew is one week old. I was rocking him yesterday morning and I looked at the clock and it was close to 7:57am, when he was born. I started crying joyful tears because I realized he has been with us for a whole week! He is a wonderful baby! Everyone was right, it goes by so fast and it makes me sad because I want to enjoy each and every minute. Andrew's jaundice has gone away and he is a good sleeper. We do not like having our clothes changed or our diaper changed, other than that, he is very content to be held. We are so lucky to have a wonderful support system. We could not do this without our family! I'm finally getting the hang of multi-tasking with a baby in my arms and I can post pictures more often. Enjoy!

I'm a week old!! I will be having my picture taken in my great-grandmother's rocking chair with my lambie each week so you can see how I grow!

Our first family walk.

My first bath, I didn't like it very much. I don't like getting my diaper changed either!

My "mini tanning bed" I had to stay in for a weekend to get my jaundice to go away. It is much better now.
