Blessing and Baptism

Ok, so since my hubby and I are of differing faiths, we had to do double duty for Peter. So the month of October was a little busy with both of these religious celebrations. First he had his blessing, where a very good friend of ours graced us with the honor of doing that for us. Thanks Mike and all those who were apart of that. We greatly appreciate it!



The following weekend we had his baptism and open house. Peter was such a good boy; with out any crying or fussing during the ceremony or service. Great job, buddy! Joe's good friend from grade school was declared Peter's Godfather, and Joe's sister as Godmother. Jen was able to come home for a couple of days to be a part of this special day. And was able to hold Peter for the first time since he was born. We had a small party for family and friends at Joe's dad's house. It was really nice to visit with everyone and have those that hadn't met him yet get a chance to say hi. Thanks for all that came. We love you all, and are so glad that you were able to celebrate with us.


And there just isn't any way I could leave out this special picture of the two dapper boys. Peter 1 and Peter 2. I will never have to worry about our little boy's attire, with his dad and "uncle" around. Kelley, we will have to reign them in one day, I'm sure. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!!!

My niece turned 2 today, and so we went to Green Bay to have a little celebration. My mom and I made this butterfly cake for her special day. It is always fun to try new styles in the cake world. I will never be as good as Duff (Ace of Cakes), but it sure is fun none the less. I would never make it there or with my Cake Girls in Chicago. I would love to have a cake made by them! We were a little worried how Peter would do in the 2.5 hour car ride there, but he was a champ sleeping the whole way there, and most of the way home. Great job Sweet boy! It is great that he is such a lover of car rides, it usually puts him to sleep with in a few minutes. Thanks for driving Bubba.

cousin, Peter. This was the
first time my brother and
her got to meet him. :)








I walked into the living room and Sydney was sitting on the floor ripping into her presents that were there waiting. No one was around, so I started rounding everyone up because she was apparently ready. :() You go girl! And she was even willing to share the wrapping and box with her brother.

Happy birthday Neenee!! We love you!!!

Peter's 2 months!

We are proud and astounded that our little boy is 2 months old!!! He had his 2 month check up today, which meant his first set of vaccine shots. :( It is so much harder on a mom than on him, as I will always remember that moment and with in a few hours he has forgotten it completely.
Our Little boy is: 24" long & 12.3 lbs. What a big boy!
At this age he loves the following:
car rides,
being held
feeding time (he's eating 5 oz each feeding every 3-4 hours)
the pacifier
his swing
the bjorn or sling
walks outside
morning time with Daddy
sitting up (which he can't do on his own yet, but doesn't like to lay)
smiling
and starting to "talk"

what he hates:
tummy time
loud motorcycles
waiting for the bottle to warm
gas
the sound of velcro



We love you, Peter J.
