shadow box memories

In the hospital the nurses gave us prints of Harrison boy's feet, the tiny blood pressure thing for his arm, and a host of other things.  At the time I thought, what am I gonna do with the tiny blood pressure thing? Ah ha! Shadow box!---> with all his little hospital things I don't want to part with.  This project took me literally like 5 minutes total.  I just used doubled sided tape and pins to hold everything in place. Easy and I plan to make one of these for all our future kiddos so I can stare at it and try to remember how little they were when they are old and getting married.  It's on the wall right outside our bedroom and I love it.  It's just missing a picture of him in the hospital and then I'll be happy.

 the little card they put in his crib with all his info

 his sweet little beanie and shirt which is actually 6 month size

 the blood pressure cuff, so tiny!

 I love this scrapbook paper, 12x12 to fit perfect in my 12x12 frame

 his hospital bracelet, chinn baby =)

we have a son.

Wow we have a son? Like a kid??? Sometimes it hits me when I'm in public and other people stop to coo at him, and then I realize they're doing it to my own kid! Ya, love those moments.

Little H is getting so big.  My arms get tired trying to hold him.  He is a hungry hungry boy.  We're going to try rice cereal with him soon and I have a feeling he will LOVE it.  Everything that gets into his hands ends up in his mouth.  Especially his clothes.  He grabs his shirts and pulls them in his mouth.  His mouth is a musical instrument.  He makes lots of noises and babbles to himself. I love it.  He is such a happy baby.  When he's not eating or sleeping, he's smiling and giggling.  Such a flirt with anyone who talks to him.  Being his mom is so awesome.

 and yes he does fuss like any baby, and I love his "fuss face" too. Cracks me up.

I love how he looks when he's sleeping.  I go in and spy on him when he naps.

Last Saturday we heard his first real laughter.  He had the giggles. Luckily we caught some on camera!  Flying in the air is his all time favorite game.
