1 Month Old and Grandpa

My little boy is getting so big! He had his 1 month doctor's appt today and it went great! He is now 8 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inches long! Man, considering you grow weight quicker in the womb, this would have been a BIG BOY! He is in the 10th percentile for weight and in the 58th for height! Doc said he will be TALL :)

Things have been going really well. Still shocking that my due date has not even passed yet! Here are a few pics from yesterday...since it was his 1 month B-day!!!
Going for a walk his new jogging stroller!!!! THANKS GRACE AND JESSICA!!!! LOVE THIS!!! We have been walking all over the trails in our neighborhood.

Also, I received my photographers CD today and will post pics once the CD gets uploaded. I also have some fun pics from our visit with TY and memre and pepre!

On another note...Yesterday my grandfather passed away in his sleep. He is where the Longhorn Lineage began and it was always a special bond that we shared. When I was growing up, he loved sharing stories about his days at Texas and once I went there LOVED hearing all of my stories. A few times, I got a random 5 dollars in the mail to go get a beer on him from Scholz's (fellow Austinite's know the place). My grandmother and him used to go there quite frequently when they were in school there and it was a very special place for him. I know he has those horns up from above! He will be greatly missed. Once I got the call, I immediately thought about whether or not he got to see a pic of Evan (he was in a nursing home) and my dad told me he did get to see a picture shortly before he passed. I talked to him after I found out I was pregnant and he just couldn't wait to see his first great grandchild.

Awww. So sorry to hear about your loss. Call me if you need anything.

I can't believe how big Evan is getting. He would have definitely been a BIG boy if came out closer to your due date. :)

Sheesh Nat. I'm sorry:( It will be fun to get to share all those stories with Evan as he gets older.

Evan is ADORABLE! Of course he is, he's yours, but I just can't believe how cute he is! Can't wait to see you all soon!

Love!
