Newly Parents

Being a mom is wonderful and being a dad is wonderful, but boy are they huge responsibilities! We are in love with our little boy! He is such a cutie! He already rolls onto his side. He moves a ton. He loves his binkie, eating and cuddling. He won't fall asleep at night unless he is on our bed and touching us in some way. The other night he just stuck out his leg so that his foot was touching Mark. And now that Mark is back at work he has to be right up against me and he likes his hair played with. It is crazy how soon his personality developed and how he knows how to get us to do anything for him just by looking at us with his huge eyes. His hair is so soft and gorgeous. It is longer than Mark's hair. His eyes still haven't become a real color yet. They are a dark brown and gray mix which sounds ugly but it is gorgeous. His eyebrows and eyelashes are getting darker. He smiles all the time. It is so random we don't know what he is smiling about. The other day when Mark got home from work though, Mark said Garrett and Garrett smiled so big cause he knew his daddy was finally home. He loves his dad! He is a total Daddy's boy already. He knows when he wants food that he wants mom, but to talk to and play with he loves Mark. Mark is loving being a dad and I am loving being a mom. What a wonderful new addition to the family. We are loving every minute even the ones at 3 am!!

The pictures are so cute. My kids were the same way when they were first born, they needed to be in our bed and to be able to touch us.

Little baby personalities are so amazing, aren't they? I see things Lee does now that he developed at just a few days old, and are so indicative of his personality. Annalisa also has her own little quirks that I think are so precious. I'm sure your boy is just a delight. We want to come see him some time.
