1 month

I can't believe we have been living here for a month already!! Where did the time go?

I still feel like it was a week or two when we arrived!! I still have stuff in boxes to get orginezed and all my decor to hang up!

The apartment is looking way better though, they steam cleaned the carpet and it looks 100% better and doesnt smell like cigarretes anymore! Yahoo!!! I sure hope by christmas the house is organized!!

At the beginning of the month, we went down to New Jersey for Liam to meet my family. The drive was gorgeous and we made it down in less than 4 hours. They all loved Liam and he especially loved the extra hands to carry him around and all the atention. He was really good all the way there and back, and he didnt even wake up! He also went to his first "soccer practice" with my twin nieces.

Liam is growing so much! He smiles widely and follows us around the room. He recognizes when Kyle gets home from school and is starting to reach his arm towards the mobile.

Kyle is doing good; busy with school, but enjoying it. He has a friend in the program that is LDS and we have hung out with him and his wife a couple times. Its fun to finally meet someone, and go out. They have a 2 year old boy and a newborn baby girl. We also hung out with some of his program friends and enjoyed some tasty food from Turkey!

We miss you guys and wish we could be closer!

Here I leave you with some cute pictures!!

Already a month old

I can't believe how fast time passes by when you have so many blessings in your life. I still remember when we got the call from the hospital to let us know they were ready for us, to induce me. The feeling I had while getting ready and driving to the hospital. So excited to see him, meet him and connect with him. I remember the love, support, and peace that Kyle's presence brought me that day. I experienced almost all feelings that day, including deception and sadness, but all of them where replaced by feeling complete once I saw him for the first time.

Now a month has passed by and I can truly say that I have enjoyed every bit of it. From feeling overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, to the smiles, coos and diapers!

I'm happy to report that Liam weights 10 pounds 14 ounces (gained 3 pounds in a month!!) and measures 21.5 inches long. He is a very observant little guy who enjoys to talk, sign, and dance with me. He loves to take naps on daddy's chest and to swing in his little swing. For the most part, he wakes up every 3-4 hours at night time and goes right back to sleep. He still pays tons of attention to his surroundings and to faces, loves bath time, specially when we wash his hair, and smiles to you if he thinks what you are saying is funny. He has learned to push himself up with his feet. He also keeps his head up and tries to reach the mobile toys with his hands!! Sometimes, me and Kyle think he's too smart for being just a month old!!

We miss you guys a lot, and we are so sorry that you can't see him grow. Please know that we talk about you guys to him all the time and he will grow up knowing that he has an amazing family in Utah and Italy.
