Roman on his way to 5 months old...new friends...and more personality!

Roman is full of personality these days! He is actually laughing! Everytime we put him in his carseat in the car (which is very rare) and I sit in the bucket seat next to him...I'll look over and smile at him and he:ll just start laughing at me! It is so funny it made me cry happy tears! I think he thinks he's big or something and gets a kick out of it.

I cant believe he's been in this world for almost 5 months! When he was in the NICU the nurses told us to bring a disposable camera and we could leave it in his drawer and they would take pictures of him while we were gone. Well just this week I finally got that camera developed....and oh my goodness! I can't believe this was my baby boy!!! It really seems like yesterday he was in there and it is almost unfathomable to me that he was this tiny!

Look how tiny his head is! Way smaller than my hand! My thumb is the size of 1 cheek!
This was taken the day we brought him home in his crib.

Now look at his cheeks!!!
Pretty boy!
This is the face I make when I'm "thinking" too!

You can see his little dimple in this picture!
Ok, sorry in advance for the numerous poses in this hat...but how cute is he in it!?!? I couldn't help myself and couldn't pick the cutest to post, so here they all are :)
In this picture I was trying to get him to finish his milk and he wasn't having it!
Little smile!







He's like "no more bottle!" "my cheeks are full!"

Still a little too small for this but we're introducing it to him.





PEACE!
In the next few pictures it looks like he's throwing some punches!

Love this expression!
"No more mommy!!"

Precious!
Tx Longhorn get up!

He really does try to stand on his own, and he'll put his weight on his feet on his own!
Sweet morning smiles!
So peaceful

Love this one! He did it straight at me!

"I have a question!"

He's not so sure about sitting on the couch!

Dustin made my day last week, when he got these beautiful flowers delivered to the house for me! The card read "Thank you for all your hard work" Love, Dustin and Roman

I'm so glad I have a husband who realizes staying at home IS hard work and one that works so hard so I CAN stay home! Roman had been working on a poopy diaper for 2 days and finally delievered one right before my doorbell rang with these flowers. I hate it when he's constipated, so between the flowers and the poopy diaper...my day was awesome! Funny when a poopy diaper AND flowers can make your day!
My Blue-Eyed cowboy!!
Looks like he's checking out some cowgirls as they walk by "Wrangler Butts drive me nutts!" Oh...Romans being naughty in this picture...look at his right hand :)





Cutie
We took Roman to meet our friends Devon and Chad's newborn baby boy Owen! He hasn't been around any babies yet, but since Owen has been staying in, we went ahead and took him over there for a few minutes. It was fun!!! I can't wait til April comes, its going to be a whole new world for both of us! They are going to be buds we already know it! Roman wasn't behaving well, but Owen was! They should only be 1 month apart based on their due dates...
We took Roman on his 1st walk this week! This was the 1st time for him to even see outside! You would think he would be in "awe" of this world around him, but he just slept the whole time! This "Kaiya Sky" was sent to me by Jennifer Calhoon Huthcerson. This one is from Chris Shelly. The picture above is from Nicole Clark and the pictu8re below is from my sister Whitney. This is from Erika Pollock Edwards Below is from Whitney This beautiful sky my Aunt Reta sent to me! This one is from Amanda Tuzzolino Trammell This one if from my friend Lyndie Medford. And this last picture was sent to me from Deanne Navaro. It means so much to me that Kaiya is thought about when looking at the beautiful artwork by the hands of our Lord!
