Playdate with a GIRL....

Shea says, "Now now Michael, calm down!"

Looking at the mommies!!

"Peace" and "Hey there"

Michael had his first playdate with a GIRL last week!! I know, we're starting early! Michael and Shea were so cute together as you can see in the pictures! Jason and I met Shea's parents through our birthing class at Paoli Hospital back in January....cool how things work out, right?!

Michael and Michael

Notice the eyes squint and the smile is a bit slanted on both Michaels!

Lately I have been thinking that Michael looks more and more like my dad, Michael. Michael's smile is very similar to that of my dad's. It brings great joy to me seeing a resemblance of my father in Michael....I smile every time!!!

Seriously...............

......Tell me this doesn't make you smile!!!!

Our little monkey!!

For Father's Day Michael and I surprised Jason and had professional pictures done. The photographer came to our house and he did an AMAZING job getting Michael to pose and to smile!

4 month check-up

Michael will be 4 months this Friday...crazy, right?! Well, today he had his 4 month check-up with the pediatrician. He got several shots and cried initially. I fed him for a minute, he cried for 30 seconds more and then he was done. He hasn't stopped talking, smiling, and playing since then. Definitely not what I expected! Here are his stats:

Weight - 15 lbs, 3.5 ounces (50th percentile)
Length - 26 inches (88th percentile)
Head - 17 1/8 inches (75th percentile)

Our little boy is growing so fast!!!!! Below are the stats from his 2 month visit:

Length - 23 3/4" - 80th percentile (up from 23" at 1 month)
Weight - 12 lbs. 7.5 oz. - 65th percentile (up from 10 lbs. 5.5 oz at 1 month)
Head - 16 1/4" - 75th percentile (up from 15 1/2" at 1 month)

Happy Birthday Grandma

Michael says Happy Birthday Grandma!

My mom is currently in Switzerland working on an internship with WHO (World Health Organization) until the end of July. So, she is celebrating her birthday in another country and is working! We figured this little video might be a great gift that she doesn't have to worry about fitting in her suitcase to bring home!

Happy Birthday Mom! I miss you and hope you have a wonderful day!!! I am very thankful to have such an amazing mother! You are smart, beautiful, loving, patient (mostly...haha), and so much more. You have always made sacrifices for your family...including canceling a trip last year for Jason and I and basically moving up here for my month of bed rest.

Enjoy your day...you deserve it!!!

With lots of love,

Jason, Heather, Michael, and Buddy Holly (he still misses sleeping at your feet)

Happy Birthday Grandma

Happy Birthday Grandma! Mommy and Daddy are trying to upload a video I made for you, but in the meantime enjoy a picture of me in my bathing suit! Come home soon so you can enjoy the summer with me :-)!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!

I miss you and love you!

TOO FUNNY!!!
