He Slept Through the Night!

I'm just so excited to let you all know that Josh slept through the whole night for the very first time! He fell asleep around 9:00 pm and didn't wake up until about 5:30 am. What?! And even at that, I fed him and he fell back asleep until about 7:30. He's only had a few nights where he woke up only once. Most of the time it's twice. I'm pretty sure it won't happen again for a couple weeks but it's awesome to see that he's getting better at sleeping. These little milestones are so exciting for us. I love to see his new personality, his smiles and his coos. He's not a newborn anymore. My baby's growing up!

Happy Birthmother's Day!

Did you guys know that the day before Mother's Day is National Birthmother's Day? Sunday will obviously be a very special day for me. But to be honest, I'll be thinking of Josh's birthmom a lot. She gave us a family and for that, I'll be forever grateful. We love you Birthmom!

Your unselfish
act of love,
Has blessed us with
a child from above.

Each time we see
that smiling face,
We remember in our hearts
you hold a special place.

For you hold a title
like no other.
For you are our child's
special Birthmother!

Happy Birthmother's Day!

Well, what would you do?!

Josh and I went to lunch with my sister on saturday. As we were leaving, an old man spotted the baby:

Old Man - "Hey Butch!"
Old Man's Wife (we will call her Old Lady) - "He's adorable!"
Me - "Oh thanks so much."
Old Lady - "How old is he?"
Me - "He's just about two months."
Old Lady - "Really?"
Me - "Yup."
Old Lady - "Well, you look fantastic."
Me - "Wow, thanks!"

No, this isn't the first time this has happened. But it's so much easier to just say thanks. When the cashier at Paradise Bakery said the same thing, I went into this whole long explanation about how my baby is adopted and that's why I look this way, it became rather awkward. So now I just say thanks.
