After 6 Weeks, Jayden is still Adorable!

Last week we got "newborn" photos taken of Jayden.  I swore I didn't want the cheesy, traditional newborn pictures - one of the main reasons I hadn't done it until now.  But then I realized if I wanted to do a birth announcement, it made sense to get some professional photos taken.  We found a photographer, Ana Brandt, and went to her studio.  I was nervous - first of all about what kind of shots we would get and second about how Jayden would react to/behave during the shoot.  Turns out he was great.  He was awake in the beginning, but soon passed out and stayed asleep through all kinds of poses.  For a preview of the photos, check out Ana's blog: http://bellybabylove.com/blog/?p=926

This week was lots of preparation for Grandma Barb and Grandpa Allan and Auntie Lizzle coming to town to celebrate a birthday for Grandpa Allan (aka Poppa).  We went to the grocery store and I swear we started packing on Tuesday to leave on Friday to go about 20 minutes from our house.  Babies are amazing in the amount of things they need.  The weekend was wonderful - lots of good family time, more photos and amazing food.
    I don't know if I've had a better dinner than the one we had Saturday night; definitely not in the past six weeks!  Oh, to be able to hire a personal chef.

First, Jayden may be heading towards boxing, much to Mama's chagrin:
