Friday of firsts

Yesterday we had some fun firsts around here.  Jacob and I went over to Sara's to meet her and her cute little girl evie who was just born about a month ago.  It's so crazy that all of us from college are married and having kids-it makes those college days feel like they were an eternity ago, but it's still fun to hang. We had a little photo shoot-and I thought it was hard to get eye contact/expressions out of one baby! haha but they were so cute next to each other and she made Jake look so big!

so sweet:

This one cracks me up.  It's like..."*gasp* they've found us, don't move and maybe they won't see us" or they're about to get beamed up haha:

Another big thing happened yesterday-our baby monitors arrived a day after buying them (gotta luv amazon prime!)  They're really cool cause once they get used to the ambient normal level of noise coming from his room they don't transmit white noise but wake up once he sqwaks and then you can hear the fan etc on in his room.  The thought of my lil guy not being a few feet from me def gave me a lump in my throat, but once we fed him and laid him in his crib he was instantly asleep and FINALLY that room became a nursery.  It was sad at first but walking into our room and realizing we could sit up with lights on and READ or TALK and not have to worry about disturbing him-well, let's just say we got over the sad part pretty quick :)  And he did great-slept just as good as he normally does.  Went down around 10, woke up around 4 (usually makes it to 5 but whatever), went back down and woke up at 8, went back down and he's STILL down- I have a feeling that getting ready for the day is going to be WAY easier now that my movement/shower noises etc won't wake him up.  That being said I can't begin to comprehend how hard it's gonna be for him to go off to school when he's older, college later or even a mission-sheesh. 

 But we are proud of and love our lil guy!
