5-weeks old

This weekend I got to meet a new friend!  I was so excited when Mom and Dad told me we were going to church to meet Sebastian and watch him get baptized.  It was hard to try to be quiet for the service, but I did it and I was so proud.  My favorite part was when Sebastian got dunked in the water three times for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit -- I was a little scared for him, but he did great!  His Godparents were there and lots of his family and friends came to help him celebrate his special day!  I can't wait until my special day - I know it's so important to be baptized.  God Bless Sebastian!

I was especially excited to meet Sebastian since his Dad works with my Dad.  I kept hearing our parents say that maybe Sebastian and I will be the next-generation owners of Redefined Fitness!  Even if Sebastian and I don't end up taking over our Dads' company, I'm sure we will certainly grow up running around the gym as Junior Redefined Partners in Crime!  I can't wait to see my new friend again soon.

On the way to meet my friend Sebastian!

EJ's First Month

EJ turned 4 weeks old this past Thursday - we can hardly believe how much he's changed and grown in just one month!  He's brought so many smiles and so much joy to our lives already -- it's hard to remember what our lives were like without him.  It's also quite amazing how much time we spend just watching the little guy!   His accomplishments so far include learning to smile, rolling from his back to his side and finding his thumb to suck on!  We're still working on the sleeping schedule - for now he likes to party at night and rest up during the daytime hours, so he had no problem staying up to ring in the New Year!  

Here are some photos that were taken over the past 4 weeks....we'll try to be better about keeping weekly updates/photos going forward.  Thanks to everyone for all of the generous baby gifts, love and support!  If you haven't met EJ yet, we look forward to introducing him to you sometime soon!  Happy New Year!

Dressed up for his First Christmas - Ho, Ho, Ho!

The Best Christmas Gift Ever!
