A piece of heaven

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words...we would say this one is worth 5,000.

It was so great to see them together again in the hospital lobby today. They had a photo shoot and posed so nicely.

Ethan seemed a little stressed and trying to figure out what was going on. He slept on the car ride home. We've discovered that both of them don't mind their car seats or the car ride. That's great news.

We put them in their matching outfits (thanks to Doug's sister, Natalie) and prepared to take them on their first walk. We couldn't resist taking a photo. Sydney's hat was adorable.

They are lacking in calcium and vitamin D, so we tried to expose their faces to the sunshine on the first day of Spring.

Hey there birthday boy. Doug was very patient with the busy-ness of the day. I had hoped to cure my own mastitis with naps and vitamin C, but opted for the antibiotic tonight. I was pretty tired and needed extra rest today, so I took an afternoon nap after we got home from the hospital. It was great to have them in the basinet next to me.

My mom made his cake and I made his birthday dinner at 10 pm tonight. He's told me repetitively that this is the best birthday he's ever had.

Yup, didn't have any candles for his cake, but he was a good sport to make a wish and blow them out anyway.

Doug discovered that my nursing pillow is great for bottle feeding as well. I am glad he's learned that skill!
