Growing up

A lot has happened in AJ's life over the past week. He watched his first Super Bowl, played with some toys, hung out with Mimi while Mommy went to work, grew out of his newborn clothes (most of them at least), started saving for college (thanks to Great Grandma Jody), and he is smiling! It's amazing how the littliest things can mean so much.
Cheese!

Play time

AJ had fun playing with his friends Luke, Noelle, Mickey, Jr. Asparagus, and Raggedy Ann. Okay, so he slept most of the time but at least Luke and Noelle had fun. :)

Who's the cutest teddy bear???

As you can see, he wasn't too stoked at mommy to be classified as a stuffed animal.

A new post!

I am so sorry for the month long blog fast. It took us a while to get our Internet hooked up and I have been busy with the little guy! The 3 of us are doing great and feel so incredibly blessed. AJ is a wonderful baby and he brings Alex and I more joy than we could have ever imagined. He is growing like crazy and starting to make little expressions. I think he smiled at me today but it could have been the gas relief he was feeling. In any case, he is adorable and so much fun. The 2 things most people comment on when seeing him are his great skin coloring and his full head of hair. I credit both of those to his daddy. He does have blue eyes so at least I can give myself the credit for that. I am praying that they stay that way.

This was taken 5 hours before I went into labor. Yikes!

Christmas came early!!!

Alexander Joseph Turner, Jr. arrived on 12/15/07 at 12:07 pm. After a swift 10 hour labor, A.J. decided to make his debut. He weighed in at a whopping 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He is so handsome and a really good baby already. Alex and I love being parents and are amazed at the most precious Christmas gift God could give us. We also received another ginormous present over the weekend which was our house! Our families and friends spent the weekend moving all of our stuff into our new home, painting some rooms, completing the nursery, and organizing the sea of cardboard boxes. We arrived home on Monday to a comfy and beautiful brand new home with our brand new baby. Talk about overwhelming! Here are some pictures of our stocking stuffer for you to enjoy. Thank you for your prayeres!

Pot of Gold

Alex and I were driving north on I-5 and we saw a gorgeous double rainbow. It looked like the start of the brighter rainbow was so close to us but then Alex had to ruin the 'magic' and go into this thorough explaination of how rainbows work and why you can never find where it begins or ends. He may be right (he usually is!) but I will never stop believing in the Pot of Gold.
