Memorial Day Weekend

I could not start this post without mentioning that Memorial Day is a very special day for our family as we truly appreciate the brave men and women who gave their lives defending our country and the freedom that we hold so dearly.

This Memorial Day will be a very special day in our home since Alex had a few “firsts”...

First #1 - He started rolling over onto his belly but he has yet to figure out how to roll back onto his back – this is a bit of a problem since he does not like to be on his belly for too long. After a few minutes on his belly, Mommy or Daddy usually comes to his rescue!

First #2 – While we were working in the yard, he surprised us by laughing out loud for the very first time. Luckily, we happened to be video taping him at this very moment.

First #3 - He slept in his own room for the very first time. I knew this was going to be a tough thing for me. As a new mom with her first baby, the distance between our bedrooms felt like 100 miles! Daddy convinced me that Alex would be OK although I had a few tears that needed wiping away that night.

Mommy, are you sure you want me to sleep all alone?
