1st Mother's Day

I had a wonderful first mother's day. Starbucks in bed, breakfast made by Shawn and my dad, flowers from my sister a card, truffles and a personalized necklace from Nolan, a long stroll in the park with a photo shoot and Via Della Pace some of the best and our favorite Italian in NYC for dinner!

Baby Changes and First Baseball Game

These past two weeks have brought a lot of changes with the little guy. He is actively "talking" to and mocking Shawn and me all day. He is so cute when he smiles and coos. He even discovered his tongue and likes to move it around and stick it out....it's pretty hilarious. His legs, arms and hands are very strong, and we can tell he is almost ready to pick things up. I think I heard him start to laugh a couple days ago. My dad has been in town and Nolan LOVES his Papa. He even babysat when I went to a wine event.

On Friday we went to the Mets/Giants game at Citi Field. We had amazing seats for Nolan's first game. This kid was sitting VIP. Most people don't sit 14 rows behind home plate ever in their lives let alone for their first game! It was such a treat to have my dad and sister at the game. My cousin Matt and his wife Amy were also able to join us at the last minute for the game, so that made it that much better! Our friend from Memphis, Hark, was there also and had the connection for the great seats. The Giants lost, but we saw 6 home runs!

Summer in Springtime

We have had some crazy weather in NYC this weekend. It was in the 80's yesterday and today. We decided to take advantage of the weather and living right next to Central Park and had a picnic with Auntie Katie and Melissa. It was perfect in the shade!

1 Month

It'a hard to believe that Nolan is a month old today. He has been such an amazing addition to our lives. We love him so much! He has started to be more aware of his surrounding. He started to "play" with a few toys and smile more often. He has also started to coo and is much, much better with day and night! Here is a little picture rundown of the past 4+ weeks.

Happy Easter





Here are a few pictures of Nolan this past week. It was a big week for the little guy, his first bath, meeting his Aunt Amy, Grandma Judy and the Maddox family, my 31st birthday and his first Easter! The weather has been amazing and we've also been spending a lot of time in Central Park.....living a half block away is truly amazing!

Grandma's Photo Shoot


Shawn and I finally got a decent night's sleep, so we decided to do a photo shoot with baby Nolan. My mom is a wonderful photographer, and she captured some great moments. Here are some pictures from the shoot.

We made it through week one. We had our first trip to Central Park and a ride in a taxi to the doctor today. All in all he is a great baby, and hopefully we'll get this up all night faze figured out soon!

Finally, Pictures






Here are a few pictures of Nolan. He is a sweet cute baby, but I think he is a little confused with day and night. We will have to work on that one! We are learning to adjust on the long hard road of life with a newborn. I'm looking forward to getting a real routine down. The good news is, we've only been home for 3 days, and we are all doing pretty good!

The number one question people asked me was, "How are you getting home from the Hospital?" Answer: A Black Lincoln Town Car!
