Happy Month-a-versary!

Each month on the 10th (in honor of our 10/10 wedding date), Jacob and Kjera have a date night, affectionately referred to as our "month-a-versary". We portioned out and froze the top layer of our wedding cake and split one piece of that chocolately goodness each month (there's still a few pieces in there!). This month we went casual with a dinner at Pica's with ASH's godfamily and a movie on the couch. Pure delight!

LouLou teaching Augie the deliciousness of guacamole!

No TV for the baby! That's just for Mami and Daddy (like the Pica's margaritas!).

Baptism-- in action!

Thanks again to all who joined us for ASH's big day. Here is the beautiful baptism slide show of the event. Enjoy!

month 4

We keep pinching ourselves to truly believe that four months have already gone by! In some ways, Augie has changed so much, and we tell him about the past months beginning with, "When you were a baby . . ." In other ways, he still seems so new. We are getting to know this precious boy by what he enjoys, what makes him laugh and what he enjoys. One of his new preferences is spending time alone on his play mat or in his crib just "kickin' it out". He also likes the new perspective of sitting in the Bumbo chair. What other milestones will we be experiencing this month?

happy guy

and so thoughtful!

Memorial Day

After the departure of our family and friends, we settled into our family tradition (maybe?) of a Memorial Day bike ride. This also happened to be Augustus' first ride in the Chariot. How do you think he liked it?

Strapping him in! (Yes, it was that cold.)

Not a huge fan at first.

Settled in for a cycling siesta (as the next storm rolls in).

The AFTER Party

After Sunday's baptism celebration (photos to come!), we returned home for some family time, storytelling and rest.

Snoozing with Grammy

Another gathering of the ASH Fan Club

Bistro Baby

To celebrate the eve of his baptism, Augustus got all gussied up and enjoyed a fancy dinner at the Rendezvous Bistro with family and friends.

First coloring . . . on a table!

La Oficina

Augustus likes to come visit Mami at school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays during lunch. Jacob is a great dad who makes this happen! It's so nice to spend a lunch as a family (and saves Kjera an extra pumping session!).

I love Journeys School!
