Happiness Like This

Zephyr is four months old and a complete joy. Our world is filled with smiles, squeals, and lovely yellow poop. Little would I have thought that keeping a watchful eye for a baby to roll onto his tummy by himself would bring such suspense and pride, but alas it does! With babies making their grand entrances all around us in our circle of friends and family, these gentle souls have never been more captivating to me, especially my sweet boy.

time is a flying...

my little man z turned a month old last week, time has really flown by. the first two weeks were definitely trying times as all three of us adjusted to our new life together: z being outside of the womb, me breastfeeding every two hours and healing from the c-section, and tony and i saying goodbye to sleeping through the night. but boy has it been worth it! zephyr is the sweetest little soul. his precious face and big brown eyes make every moment a reminder of how lucky and blessed we are and how far we've come to be here. at a month old he is starting to have more control of his neck and he's addicted to looking around. he is locking eyes with us more and it's the most fun to carry on a conversation of coos and aahs with him. he is starting to smile a lot more and that of course instantly melts our hearts.

smiles...

at two weeks of age, zephyr's smiles come quick and mostly due to gas. but boy do they melt my heart. i got really lucky with the shot below.

it's a boy!!

zephyr salvador made his grand entrance on a beautiful september afternoon. we are in love!

 

about to pop!

today i am 38 weeks pregnant and soooo anxious to meet baby castro!! we have everything ready to go for BC from the room and washed clothes to the hospital bags! the anticipation of finding out if baby castro is a boy or girl is definitely at an all time high! i am so happy that tony helped me to wait on finding out our baby's gender until the big day. it has made this pregnancy that much more special and exciting for us. today i made this little video using a nifty little iphone app called 8mm vintage camera. i love the settings and wanted to test it out : )
