The first 6 months...

Micro Black as we referred to him before he arrived was born on August 8, 2007 after 14 hours of labor and quickly made his presence known as the "siren"!

After we got the feeding thing and sleeping thing figured out - he turned into quite a mellow, rather serious little guy and he's been making us laugh for 18 months!

The first month was a blur but we managed to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary in Grand Haven and Alex got together with his 2 youngest cousins: Ada Gilmartin & Jackson Weiland.

I went back to work, Alex took his first trip on a plane to San Francisco with Will to meet me there and we introduced Grandma Phyllis to her first great - grandson.

We celebrated our first holidays as a family of 3!

Our serious guy at 6 months old, solid foods, sitting up, getting the hang of napping, sleeping through the night and making us work hard for a giggle.

Lover of ALL fine foods...

and wines.

(that's TR Elliott of course)
