1 MONTH OLD!!!

Our big boy is growing up way too fast!!!

It is so hard to believe that Baby M is one-month old today. It has truly been an amazing time. Kim and I can't believe that there ever was a time when we believed that our lives would have been okay without the blessing of a child.

The little dude has developed quite the personality! He smiles from time to time, more so in the last few days, and loves to chill and look around. We know that we are fortunate as he just doesn't fuss or cry very often. He has some new sounds that he has been trying out the last couple of days. In addition to his grunting, he has started making, what can be best described as, a kitty-cat sound. No real cooing yet.

Michael's favorite Mommy time is mid-afternoon, relaxing and watching Baby Story. This usually is after some tummy time and play time. Bath time is also one of his favorites!

As for Daddy time, there is nothing better than eating breakfast and watching Sportscenter every morning at 6:00...



We are venturing out a little more often, not too much as he hasn't had all of his shots yet. We usually head out to Target, Wal-Mart, Old Navy, etc... Baby M had his first BBQ last weekend. We all went over to Gary, Amy, and Baby Ellie's house for a "meet the baby" BBQ. Ellie is about a month older than Michael. Ellie and Michael must not have been as excited as their parents, as they slept through most of the festivities, waking up only to eat and go back to sleep. I know Mommy and I sure enjoyed getting out and Kim especially enjoyed finally having a couple glasses of wine.

Yesterday, Mommy and Baby M came up to West Port to visit. The ladies have been wanting to meet the little man and, of course, my volleyball girls have too!

We love and miss you all! Thank you for the many gifts and cards! As we continue to settle into our routine, we will begin to answer all of the cards and well-wishes.








Love, Mike, Kim, and Baby M!!!

2 Week Check-up!

Alright! Alright! I know I've been slackin on the blog...

Volleyball is in full swing. The girls are playing well, 3-2 right now. We had a huge win Tuesday over one of the top teams in district, Citrus and took another top team, Crystal River, to 5 games before dropping the sudden death game 15-17.

Baby M had his 2-week check-up on Wednesday. After dropping down to 7lbs 4oz after coming home, he is now 8lbs 8oz! He is in the 5oth percentile in every category and, like his daddy, is already quite the ladies' man...Everyone at the office loves him!

Kim also had her check-up and everything is looking great! She has already dropped 25 pounds and is feeling stronger with each passing day. She is feverishly working on ways to get me a second job (or one that actually pays!) so that she can stay home...She is such an incredible Mommy!!!


Kim's mom, Cindy, spent some time with us the first week or so and came up to help with the appointments this week. She really helped us get organized and took care of all of the little things so that we could concentrate on the little one!

We also had a great visit from MaMaw and PaPaw, along with Kaitlynn. As short as it was, it was so great to see them! Michael absolutely loved his cousin Kaitlynn!




Michael now recognizes us, rather than just staring and studying. He is still just as alert and observant, just chillin and looking around. He really only fusses when he's cold or gassy(don't we all)!!! He is smiling and kicking his legs when one of us comes over to talk to him. Also, he loves Chris Brown! He'll just be relaxing and Kim will put on Forever... He smiles and starts kicking his legs, he loves it! In all fairness...He also loves Totally 80's on VH1. Maybe he will be a terrific break dancer like his daddy and Uncle Bobby!



He enjoyed the trash talk with Uncle Chris as well as winning the bet after the Gators took care of the Canes last week! He is especially looking forward to seeing Bailey donn the Gator gear!




As always, thank you all for the support and love! We miss you all more than you know and can't wait until Baby M gets to meet you all!!!

Love Kim, Mike, and Baby M!!!
