Papabee graduated from Manhattan College in May. He was hired full time by his company June 13 but had it postponed two weeks because Samuel was born June 12th at 9:45pm at Brooklyn Birthing Center at 7lbs 5oz at 19".
Samuel was dedicated at 2EFC a month later.
Three months later, my mother moved out of the apartment and we are finally living on our own, with a 2 month old! Parenthood is crazy. I was blessed that I did not have a colicy baby but learning how to be mamabee and papabee to Sambee was Survived about 11 months and found out that we are pregnant with our second!
Olive was born at home in water on March 2nd, at 2:10am. More on this in next post.
At 3 months, she rolls over for the first time and has been a rolling machine since. She was dedicated at 2EFC on April 14th, 2013. Right before Papa's birthday. She has been eating solids since 4 months. I had wanted to wait until about 6 months before trying anything. She would stare the food down as it was brought to the table and start smacking her lips and chewing as if she already had some. We waited until she was able to sit up on her own to start introducing the almighty avocado. It must be a small babies thing but she didn't take to it either. Paw paw (Janet's mom) gave Olive bananas. She LOVED it and would start grunting until she got some. That was her technique for all foods.
She started crawling at 5 months and is behind her brother for all sorts of mischief.
At almost 8 months, she starts taking her first steps and now at 9 months she is pretty much walking. We relocated to Laurel, MD. More of this in a future post also. Sorry, I am behind.
Everyday we live in the promise of who God is in spite of myself and the mess that exist.
Next post: Our humble homebirth, stay tuned. Love, Mamabee
