MD's visit and pictures of the cutest baby in all the land (except for his brother of course!!!)
Ok, so here are the pics from Gil's one month photo shoot- I know I am biased, but this is one CUTE baby.

And his personality is starting to come out and it is just precious. He is still a really mellow, low-key baby. He loves to sleep. He is definitely much more of a snuggler than Vake- MUCH more. He insists on being swaddled to go to sleep and he adores sleeping while he is being held. MY KIND OF BABY. Seriously. I could just snuggle-buggle with him all day.
We went to see the doctor today. Both boys are off the charts for height and weight. At three, Vake is 43 pounds and 39.5 inches tall. Gil at six weeks is 13 pounds 10 ounces and 23.5 inches tall. BIG boys.
We got the bill from the neonatologist a couple of days ago. Dr. Murray was with Gil during the first five scary minutes of his life. I started crying when I saw the services- she billed us for infant resusitation. Yowzers. I am so amazed by that. She went to work on December 29th at St. Mary's and saved my child's life. Obviously, it is her profession and I assume she likes it (she was warm and had a very kind bedside manner). But in doing her job, she literally changed the entire future for me and my family. Sort of takes your breath away, right?

Here's to the baby who made me a mama. It's been a joyous ride so far. I couldn't ask for more.
Happy birthday to my brave, funny, fun, crazy, smart, energetic three-year-old. May all your days be cupcake days.

Vake's Third Birthday Cake
This morning, when Vake went to school, I made his birthday cake for Friday. NOT TOO SHABBY, if you ask me.
I found the directions online. The cake is poundcake, cut into pieces.
The smokestack is a cake cone with marshmellow "steam" coming out of it. The wheels are oreos- big and small. The coal in the coal car is chopped up Hershey's kisses.
I wish I were more of a frosting master, but from a distance, the effect is really really good.
Can you believe my little baby is a big boy now? Crazy how fast time is going.

What a Blessing
Went to the pediatric cardiologist this morning (who knew you had to get up at 6 to be on time for a 9:15 appt...ahhh the joys of two little guys!). Gil weighed 12 pounds 15 ounces. AND the really good news is that the cardiologist did a detailed exam, including an echocardiogram of the heart and RELEASED Gil from any more care. Thank God.

Vake's Pastel
I AM SO THRILLED. So about last April, I had Vake's pictures taken for his portrait- and I just got the first progress picture from the portrait artist- I LOVE it. I think it got his personality- obviously it is not done but I just LOVE it...
