Our Little An-joel's First Month

Happy First month!

We have been enjoying having our little man home, we can't believe how fast time flies, we have had a month where there have been many adjustments, getting to know what a new baby needs/wants and what new parents have to do, to help him have a pleasant time as he grows.He had his monthly Doctor's visit and we found out that Joel went from 7lbs 6oz to 10lbs 10oz in a month! He definitely is growing!!!!!!!

Things that baby Joel have been doing is trying to crawl if he is on his tummy and if we are helping him to burp he stands as straight as he can, never thought a newborn could do some things that I expect a baby with 4 or more months would do....

  Here it is our little boy from last week....Enjoy!

This is Joel's favorite thing to do so far....

These are Joel's third week pictures, by his second week his weight was 7.14 oz and we measured him and was 23 inches, so by now he should be bigger!

Tom's B-day

Lake Pleasant

  

On Friday August 13th, we went to explore a little bit where Lake Pleasant was because there are lots of people around the area that take go for a pick-nick or take their boats and camp there during the weekends. We were not very excited to stay for a long time because it was a very hot day! I had 39 weeks at that time it was before the big day.

I wasn't sure if I could make it to Monday 0816 to celebrate Tom's B-day, I tried to make a surprise party for him and invited some friends from Church to come over on Saturday 0814, I felt for sure I would be fine that day, so we had a 'Pool Party'. We had pizza and tacos al pastor (to have variety), and chocolate cupcakes.

 

What a B-day!!

On Monday August 16th, my mom and me were getting things ready to celebrate Tom's B-day as soon as he come back from his Surgery rotation, we set the table and put his presents there, we were cooking the filling for the Chicken Pot Pie and I was baking his cake ' Chocoflan', when I was taking the cake out the oven the water broke, and made some phone calls which were not successful at all, finally I could reach a very good friend who took me to the Hospital while Tom could make it there. I was crossing my fingers to be ready for that day, but it didn't seem to be possible, until that moment I realize again that right desires of our hearts are possible. It was a great day! Now could celebrate my two loves the same day!

  

Finally after we got back from the Hospital, we could sing Happy B-day and eat some cake for the B-day boys, and Tom open his presents!

For some reason the pictures we took that day were deleted, so I made another cake to recreate the day and take pictures for the posterity =D

 

Here the B-day boys, my lovely and wonderful husband Tom and our cute little angel Joel
