Roman 6.20.09

This is Roman's changing table. He always gets super excited when he is put on the table to be changed. I guess you can't under estimate the joy of a clean diaper! :) Notice that he has one shoe missing...he always manages to remove his gloves and shoes by himself....


Our little soldier. He always has at least one eye open so that he doesn't miss anything...


Roman was fascinated by Tio B. He couldn't stop looking and he laughed alot too.

Roman - 6.15.09

Roman's New Hat. This week Roman got a new sun hat, so we just had to let him try it on. It has a checkered blue/white/green pattern on the outside and comes equipped with a chin strap (for high wind situations, I suppose). Well, Romeo didn't like his hat a whole lot. I think he thought we were trying to choke his turkey neck when we strapped it on him and he got upset. But he definetely maxed out the cute meter this time. Too cute!

Roman also had to show off his new running shoes for all his guests who visited this week (Aunt Julia and Uncle Bryant). I also included a photo of Roman laughing, which is one of my favorites. Grandma is the best at getting him to laugh. They are already building quite a bond as abuela and grandson. Roman loves his abuela....

Roman 6.8.09

Roman recently crossed the 8 week mark and each day is even more exciting to see what he can do that he couldn't before. For example, when he was just a few weeks old he couldn't focus his eyes and he didn't show emotion on his face very well. For the past few weeks he has had a much bigger range of emotion on his face. Obviously when he gets upset (usually when he is hungry) he squishes his face and cries. But now he can look at whoever holds him and over a 30 second period change from a straight face slowly to a huge smile and sometimes a laugh - then back to a "pouty" face, where he "pooches" his lips out like he's pouting. It's priceless! I just can't seem to get it on video....yet.

I also put some pics up showing how chubby he is. Everyone that comes by to visit says he's a big healthy boy, which makes mom and dad feel like they're doing something right.

Roman Gabriel - Born 4/8/09

So the purpose of my new blog is to keep friends/family up to speed on what is going on in the tiny little life of the most important little man in the world (ok, maybe just our world). I plan to post photos regularly of Roman as he grows older, as well as stories and maybe even some videos if that is possible. I'm not very familiar with blogging so I guess I'll be learning on the fly! The photos I'm posting today are of Roman around the time he was born. Today he is 8 weeks old so I've got some catching up to do.

Just a note: prior to starting a blog, I posted the first 30 days of pics at my personal website, www.pbase.com/satori77. Those will be up for a while so feel free to check them out.

Enjoy!
