Happy New Year!! What a year 2011 has been. We were so grateful for everything we were given last year. The outpouring of love and support we received after we found out we were expecting was amazing. It totally blew our minds and we felt so unbelievably lucky. After Owen arrived, we somehow felt even more grateful for our blessings. He was such a beautiful baby and seeing him for the first time was the highlight of our lives. Owen is now a thriving baby who brings us so much joy. We fall in love with him more every day and are so thankful that it has been so easy to transition into being parents. We have Owen to thank for not being in "freak out" mode though - he is such an easy baby!! We are BEYOND lucky! In fact, we are so lucky that my Mom thinks we shouldn't risk having another baby because there is no chance in hell we can get this lucky again. Haha.
Tommy and I went to a friend's house to ring in the new year. We left Owen with Grandma Gin Gin and he had a great time counting down to midnight with her. At least we think he did! It is so nice to able to get out and see friends now that he is here. We always hoped we could do that and we are taking full advantage of those opportunities while my Mom is here. Isn't that what Grandparents are for? Haha. Before we left for the party, we pulled out Owen's Bumbo seat and put him in it. He initially gets really scared when we sit him in it and cries out, but once he's in and realizes there is nothing to be scared about, he just sits and stares around. He can follow us with his eyes now and tries REALLY hard to move his head along too. It's hard for him because the little guy has a pretty big noggin. Haha. He looks like such a toddler when he's in the Bumbo seat. It's hilarious!!
And of course on New Year's Day, we took the obligatory picture with a hat we took from our party. He doesn't look very pleased about it!!
Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous new year!!
