-Aces Game-

Summer just isn't summer without baseball!
Reno has a minor league baseball team called the Aces. They were in town last weekend so we went to a game with some friends. I LOVE baseball games!! I don't know that I watched much of the game but it was fun to get out & take Roman to his 1st baseball game.

Gang's all here.....

Roman was wide awake for the 1st part of the game. He seemed to be enjoying himself too.:)

Family picture/nap time.

Aces won, Roman was a good boy & we got out of Lovelock for the evening. All in all it was a good time.:)

Birth Announcement & Newborn Pics

Here it is!!
Roman's birth announcement!

Noelle (Noelle Degroot Photography) took Roman's newborn pics when he was 4 weeks old. A little late, I know. I should have gotten them done earlier because this baby boy was awake for nearly the entire photo shoot and was kind of a little stinker. Most boys don't like their pictures taken so I guess he's starting out young.:) Noelle did such a great job though!! She also designed the announcements for me.
Here's a sampling of some of my favs- -















My apartment is now decorated in pictures of my cute little guy.:) Gosh, having a baby is so much fun!!
Thanks again Noelle!!

An Afternoon at Lake Tahoe

Roman had his 1st Lake Tahoe experience last Saturday. We packed a picnic and enjoyed some time on the beach. Mr. Roman basically slept the whole afternoon. That's what he does best. . . . .well, that and eating.:)

Roman & Mommy

(He's pulling a weird face in this pic)

This is how Roman sunbathes at the beach.:)


The beach was pretty busy which made for some great "people watching".
It was such a nice day! Lake Tahoe is soooo beautiful! We'll definitely go back one more time before the summer's over.
And if anyone wants to come out & visit us we'll take you to there.:)

It's About Time....

. . .that I post about Roman's birth and his days in NICU. Well. . . . . .I started the post at the beginning of July & never finished it. And I just published it and didn't realize that it would stay under the date that I started. So if you want to read it you'll have to go back to the July 9th post. Oops!

And just for the heck of it . . . .here's a picture of my cute baby boy.

7 Weeks Old!!

Baths, Bedtime Stories & Big Boy Crib

Oh how much joy this baby boy brings to our life!
We are loving every minute with Roman!
He's 6 weeks old now and getting more chubby every day.:)
* * *
Bath Time
Roman is starting to enjoy his bath time more. He wasn't quite sure about it the first couple times but as long as he's got a full belly he enjoys just about anything.:)

We decided not to spend money on a baby bath. This $5 baby body sponge is great!!

Bedtime Stories
Bryce loves to read to Roman in the evening and I think Roman loves to hear his daddy's voice so it's great for everyone involved.
And I love to see Bryce being a daddy. It's very cute!

Big Boy Crib
We decided that Roman is big enough for his crib so he spent his first night in it Monday night. He did great!
He looks so tiny in that big crib. . . .

. . . . but oh so sweet.:)

Roman at 6 Weeks Old:
- Prefers to sleep in his Little Lamb vibrating chair
- Smiles at us. . .when he want to
- Nurses every 3-4 hours
- Wakes up twice during the night and thinks it's "awake time"
- Loves his "paci"
- Always a happy boy in the morning
- Does not like being put in his carseat but is out cold once the car starts moving
- Has blue eyes like his grandpas
- Grunts & growls a ton
- Enjoys music. . . .anytime & anywhere
and
- Loves his Mommy & Daddy!!!:)
