Baby Kaitlyn

On Monday, September 18, 2006, Kaitlyn Min entered the world at 6:59 PM. She weighed almost 7 pounds. She is absolutely beautiful! Michelle is doing well and is recovering nicely (Billy is also doing well). Everyone is saying that Kaitlyn looks like Billy (Jawsh said that Billy and Kaitlyn had the same hair style) but we'll have to see. I wonder what she'll look like with her eyes open???

Cousins in the womb

Jawsh could not resist taking this shot of Michelle and I. Although Michelle is due at the end of the month, I think my niece wants out sooner than later. Michelle's doctor said she could be arriving anytime now. I wonder when my niece will make her debut???

Future dads

Here is a picture of future father's day and summer barbeques ... Jawsh and Billy grilling steaks. Although I have not eaten meat in the past two years, it officially ended last month. My mom made prime rib and I could not resist (or should I say the baby could not resist). Lately, the protein cravings have been hot dogs and meatball sandwiches, but not to worry as I only cave in occasionally. What will be next???

Doctor visit

I thought it would be nice to share an image of my doctor's visit. My doctor is really nice and thorough. I am happy to report that I have my weight under control (staying away from all the Caramel Macchiatos helped). This is a picture of my belly being measured. I wonder just how big it will get???

First day of school

Today was the baby's first day of school with me. We had a long (and hot) day! When Jawsh came home he brought a bouquet of beautiful flowers. I wonder if the baby will be a romantic just like his dad???

Golden slumbers

A few weeks ago, Jawsh purchased a book called Lullabies and Poems for Children. Jawsh has been reading and singing to the baby from this book and recently came across a poem called Golden Slumbers written by Thomas Dekker (1570-1641). The Beatles adapted this poem on their album, Abbey Road. Jawsh loves singing this song to the baby and he loves hearing it (we can tell by his movements). I wonder if the baby will recognize it when we play it for him later???

The Smiths

We just returned from visiting Grandma Bella. She was in good spirits and happy to see us. We had a great time sharing meals and stories from her past. The baby is so fortunate to have family so near. Here we see three generations of the Smith side and the baby will be the fourth! What will Great Grandma Bella say when she sees the baby???
