3 weeks

well he was 3 weeks on friday but it wasnt sunny enough to get good light through the window so We did his 3 week photos today.

1st bath

Since it was taking so dang long for his umbilical chord to dry up he just barely got his first bath today. He has had sponge baths which he hates but never a full bath. as soon as we put him in the water he was calm. he really seemed to like it and was way relaxed.

More pics of Cyrus

Camera happy mama decided to do her own photo shoot with Cyrus. Im not as good as shawn but I thought they turned out pretty good considering my lack of experience. Plus he is so darn cute he looks cute in any photo . He was actually 2 weeks and 3 days in these. Im hoping to do more pics tomorrow. which would be 1 week from this He has changed a ton it seems like since last m0nday. I know theres alot of pics here but scroll through them all cuz theres some funnies at the end. let us know what you think!!

and now for the funnies

A love so perfect

Its 330 am and I am up feeding Cyrus again. he was up about 1 hours ago as well and two hours before that. and 1 before that... not our best night so far. needless to say i havent slept yet. You would thi nk at this point i would be so exhausted that i wouldnt be on my blog writing this but i just had to put words to my feelings and share with you all the intense love a child brings into your life. I dont know that words can accurately describe the joy and love a child brings into ones life.
As i look at Cyrus sleeping so peacefully on my chest I cant help but smile. he looks so peaceful... so innocent... I have butterflies and love running through my body and i dont want to take my eyes off of him. every little noise, movement or face he makes just brings me so much joy. He is perfect... A gift from God. The love for your child is such a perfect love.. although he cant give much back we still give all of ourselves. just looking at him and holding him is gratification enough.
I love how he will fall asleep so easily in my arms. it tells me he feels safe.
I love how when he is awake he studies my face. seeming to be reading me.
i love the noises he makes( even though they keep me up at night lol).
I love how he pushes himself up closer to me heart if i have him laying to low on my belly or how he likes to snuggle just under my chin.
I love his cry becasue i know he trusts that i will listen.
i love how peaceful he looks.
and i love snuggling with him when daddy gets up for work.
He is my world... my everything.I feel i have accomplished many great things in life, but my two sons are by far what I am most proud of.

Cyrus' first photoshoot

We met many amazing people during the time we had Gabriel with us, one of these people being Shawn Houllis . For those of you who have been following our blog from the beginning you may remember her name. She took the beautiful professional photos we have of Gabriel. We were privileged to meet with her again Friday for Cyrus' first photo shoot!! It brought back a lot of memories of Gabriel while creating new ones of our precious baby Cyrus. It was so nice to catch up with her and watch her do her magic with the camera!! If you are looking for a photographer in San Diego I strongly recommend Shawn (life shadows photography). She is so amazing and wonderful company as well!! Thanks Again Shawn for all you have done for us!!!!
Here is a peek at a few of the pics we have so far.
