One-Month Birthday

It's hard to believe how much our lives have changed in just one little month!

David celebrated his birthday by going to vote with mommy on election day. Not sure if he was the youngest voter in PA, but he's gotta be pretty close!

David also stayed up and watched the election results with mommy & daddy - I think he was pretty happy that President Obama won the election, but we'll ask him once he's older to find out for sure :)

We tried a lot of different things to capture a perfect "1-month" picture... These are probably the only monthly shots we'll be able to take in this little napper - he's already too long for it!

And here is our attempt at sitting David next to Franklin, so we can gauge his size as he grows. I'd say it was a failed attempt.. but hopefully once he's sitting up on his own, we can try it again :)

Other milestones from David's first month include lots of fun smiles and giggles. He always gives us a few smiles on the changing table in the nursery:

And on his play-mat:

We've been doing some tummy time:

And spending time getting used to the crib during nap-time (for now, David's still spending most of the night in the rock-n-play in mommy & daddy's room..):

And we finally collected pictures of the awesome people who helped bring him into the world. Here he is with our birth doula, Naomi Lara:

With our nurse, Kristin Roddy (at David's first Walk to Defeat ALS; it was cold and windy, so we left David in his little wind bubble!):

And with our OB, Dr. Joe Murphy:

A pretty fantastic group of people, to say the least!

Speaking of the ALS walk, here's another pic of some of my awesome family at the walk standing at my Aunt Lorraine's sign and cousin Karen's sign (how I failed to get a pic of David & Karen is beyond me! Will need to rectify that soon!). 

And last but not least, here's a quick shot of me with my 2 big boys. Everyone asks how Franklin is doing, getting used to his new little brother and all; he is doing fantastic :) He grows less and less interested in licking David, but more and more protective of the family. Hard to believe just over a year ago I didn't have either of these guys. So thankful I have them in my life now :)
