Looking out at Grandpa O'Brien

Jeff's dad passed away in November of 2007. So Jeff and I took Carter up the other day to meet his Grandpa O'Brien. We went to the special place where Jeff spread his dads ashes and showed Carter just how beautiful it is. The dogs came too and we just sat for a second and enjoyed our time there.

Jeff, Carter and Grandpa O. (And Kipp too) All the boys made it into this picture!

I love this pic. That's my family.

Kisses for Carter.

Carter Plane! I have a feeling we will be getting a lot of these pictures everywhere we go. :)

He looks like a little Cholo baby. Ha ha!

So, now Carter has met both of his Grandpas. Too bad Jeff's dad isn't here to enjoy our little man. I think he would really adore him. Carter's middle name (Emmett) came from his Grandpa O- James Emmett Michael Patrick O'Brien. What a strong Irish name!! I'm glad we were able to honor Jeff's father by using one of his names for Carter's middle name. He deserves it and I know that Jeff loved his dad very much and thinks about him every day. Now there is a little of his dad in Carter. :)

Hanging on the front lawn

What a beautiful evening to hang out on our front lawn and check out some stuff with Carter while waiting for dad to get home. I pointed out all the cool things outside like trees and umbrellas and clouds.

We really like meeting Jeffrey out front when he comes home from work. I love summertime for that reason. I always want him to come home to smiling faces.

Who wouldn't want to come home to this smiling face?

Don't think those puppies weren't out front with us waiting for their dad to get home too. It's Roxy's favorite time of day. And this is why.

Then once she gets enough snuggles to hold her over for a few seconds Jeffrey can love on his son.

And, if you're very quiet, most of the time they will fall asleep together. Not usually out front but this was the perfect night to do just that.

What a happy home we have.

Family Nap Time

We have been taking lessons from Carter on how to properly nap. I think we've got it down!

His first bottle

We didn't know when we would try a bottle with Carter but we went out the other night for the first time without the little guy, so I defrosted some of the milk that I had frozen. And to our surprise he wasn't hungry while we were gone (and this kid is ALWAYS hungry so who knows...) but we had to use the milk within 24 hours. Sooo, Jeff got to feed Carter his first bottle!

He likes it!

Finally able to feed his little man.

Whatcha lookin' at little buddy?

Man, this bottle stuff is hard work!

Apparently for the both of them!

Happy 1st Father's Day

What a great 6 weeks we have had with Boss Man.

Already leaning on dad for support. :)

Sleeping in the hospital.

Ready to take this little guy home!

Smiling in his sleep he is so happy to have a son....

Silly Jeffrey....

Jeff is such a proud daddy! I love these two together. What a happy day today is. Such a great reason to celebrate.

And no, I didn't forget my dad either. Here he is with little mans. Love you Dad! Thanks for being my dad and thanks for everything that you do for me!
