I'm One Month Old!

It's hard to believe, but it's true our baby boy is one month old! It's so much fun to see him grow and change and doing new things...he keeps us laughing too, even in the wee hours of the morning!






Grandmommy and cousin Aubrenae over for a playdate

What happy babies!
AJ in his bedroom crib for the first time




okay, so here is a full-circle life moment...a little history (an abbreviated version)...Tomica (cousin pictured here holding AJ) introduced me and Arian back in the summer of 1996 when she worked as a cashier and he was a bag-boy at O'Malia's grocery store. She and I were in highschool and Arian had just finished his freshman year of college. She introduced us, and sometime later we set up our first date to go to dinner and a movie...we saw Independence Day on Independence Day (...how cute, right?!?) and to add to irony we saw Pastor Sample and his wife at the movie (he is the man who eventually married Arian and I seven years later...you can't make this stuff up!!!) And so, because of this amazing love connection made by Tomica, we can pass on this legacy to our children, starting with AJ...thanks Tomica, we love you!!! :)









These next few pics were taken on his actual one month birthday...we were getting ready to go to his one month check up

"...Mom, no really, it's hot in this thing!..."
