Proud Parent

Now that Brian and I are parents there are things we never thought we would be excited or proud of until we had Kyle.

New things Brian and I have been excited for:

- His first poop after leaving the hospital.
- Having enough of those poopie diapers a day.
- His first pee after the "procedure."
- Milk coming in.
- Having enough milk.
- Eating dinner without any interruption.
- Taking a nap.
- Getting 5 or more consecutive hours of sleep.
- Having the time to clean the house (this is more mine than Brian's).

Our growing list of proud parent moments:

- How beautiful Kyle is.
- The ability for Kyle to hold his head up.
- Turn his head to a sound.
- Follow something he sees.
- Clasping his hands together.
- Sleeping through the night.
- His first beautiful smile.
- His first "coo."
- Laughing.
- Reaching for something.
- Grabbing something.
- Holding a toy.
- Grabbing a toy and bringing it to his mouth.
- Talking and smiling to us.
- His huge good morning smile!!
- Sitting up with little support.


Future proud parent moments that will be here before we know it:

- Rolling over.
- Crawling.
- Sitting on his own.
- Pulling himself up.
- Walking.
- His first words.
- Eating solid foods.
- His first birthday.
- Many, many more.....






We love you and can't believe how proud we feel now and look forward to your many more accomplishments.
