Doran's Baby Blessing

This past Sunday was Doran's baby blessing. We were lucky to have many family members come for the occasion  Devin gave Doran a beautiful blessing and Doran looked adorable!

I'm so glad when Daddy comes homes...

I'm so glad when daddy comes home, Glad as I can be;
Clap my hands and shout for joy, Then climb up on his knee,
Put my arms around his neck, Hug him tight like this,
Pat his cheeks, then give him what? A great big kiss!

Doran's Second Month

Doran loves bath time! After he gets all cleaned up, we let him swim for a while.

We celebrated Christmas in January because our Christmas present came! We love it and now we can upload all of our pictures of Doran to the computer!

Playing with his toys.

We kept Doran in his newborn clothes for way to long... newborn clothes are supposed to be up to 8 pounds and he weighed much more than that. Poor kid, look how stretched out his pj's were. It was just a hard transition for me to admit my baby wasn't so little anymore.

This is Doran in one of our favorite newborn pj's with Mollie of course.

We celebrated my birthday. 

Went on his first walk outside and was exposed to the sun for the first time. He went to sleep, it was a little too bright for him.

Doran met Charlotte. They had the same due date. Charlotte was born on the 6th and Doran the 8th.

More pictures. Can't get enough...

He's been discovering his voice lately.

Doran's First Month

I know that Doran's 2nd month is almost over, but I'm just barely getting around to documenting his first month.

Here are some pictures:

Doran came home to a decorate house. My family put up banners and brought balloons.

Took his first sponge bath at home.

First family picture - the first week home.

Naps in bed

Doran got his first package/mail. It was Molly, his best friend! (a stuffed monkey)

Had visits from my family.

Playing with uncle Stephen.

Look what Santa brought us! His first Christmas. He flew all the way to Wyoming and did great!

Meeting Grandma and Grandpa Teichert!

Doran also got to meet many of his cousins, including 3 of his 4 cousins his age. They are 1 1/2 months older than him. He was so tiny back then!

First bath without his umbilical chord. Not so sure what to think.

At exactly 3 weeks old, Doran figured out how to eat! Making me and him very happy!

And he put up with us trying to take his picture.

Turning 1 month old!
