I forgot to post this family picture! Even though Jay is making a silly face it still makes me smile! Happy Hump Day to ya!

so glad
that my little one is feeling better. Yesterday morning he went to the doctor for his 4 month checkup and got 3 shots (one was taken orally) and the rest of the day he was pitiful. He wanted so badly to be a happy, smiley little boy but it was so hard. He was sleepy, cuddly, kind of grumpy and running a low grade fever the whole day (I loved the cuddly part) but thankfully he is back to himself today! It broke my heart knowing that he wasn’t feeling well; I really am going to be a wreck the first time he gets really sick…
family pictures
I have been wanting to get some nice pictures of us as a family for some time now; you know aside from the self portrait style (which in all honestly I sometimes really love- but they have their place). So this past Sunday Nan and her two adorable men headed over to Rollins College with us to grab a few. My little guy wasn’t really cooperating, the ground was far more interesting than anything else around, however; Nan worked her magic and was able to grab a few that I’ll cherish forever. Thanks friend- love you!
i think he knows…
that if this is the face that greets me in the morning, it doesn’t matter how early the wake-up call is.
one year ago today…
One year ago today I took one of these (the first of many for my unbelieving eyes)…
and it said that we were going to have one of these…
Over the next nine months I did this…
It really is hard to believe that I was this big at one point (these are the last pictures that we have of me before Jay was born).
Even if I don’t remember being that big I do remember how it amused me so to take pictures of my feet poking out from my belly…
114 days ago from today (and 251 days from May 21, 2009- if you are one to count) we became this…
One year ago today I couldn’t imagine having this little guy in my life and now I can’t imagine my life without him…
So what this all boils down to is that one year ago today Jamie and I were blessed…
an extra special day…
This is Mimi; it’s her birthday today. Which is why we want to say…
We hope that you have an extra special day!!
Love you,
Jamie, Kristen and Jay Bird
splish-splash
Jamie and I had a wonderful long weekend; I hated to see him leave for work this morning! Granted I usually don’t like when he has to leave in the morning regardless of how long the weekend was. We enjoyed some wonderful time as a family and also some wonderful time with family. Jay also had his first dip in the pool this weekend! I have many more pictures to share from his swim but I am busily trying to hack away at some of my work this week so I’ll tease you with just one from the day.
happy friday to ya!
No, I haven’t flown off my rocker- I know that it is actually Thursday. It’s just that Jamie has tomorrow (and Monday) off so it is Friday in the Perreault household- woohoo!! I am so excited to be able to spend the long weekend with my guys! We are looking forward to some much needed rest, relaxation and especially to seeing Sean and Mary Beth who are flying in from New York tonight. They have not met Jay yet (aside from a video chat) and we are anxious to introduce them. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend as much as we will.
for the love of a good book
Seriously Mom, tummy time isn’t half bad when I have a good book to read.
the best gift!
Today, on Mother’s Day, I am reminded of just how very blessed I am. I couldn’t ask for a better husband and Daddy to Jay or for anything more in a son. Since the very first moment that he came into this world Jay has captured my heart and I continue to love him more and more each day. I have had the most wonderful day with my two guys and Jay gave me the best Mother’s Day gift- his first real laugh! I love the sound of babies laughing; however, when the laugh comes from your child it is the most amazing sound on Earth!!

By the way, we were lucking enough to have the video camera rolling when he laughed. So you really are seeing his first laugh in this video!
