Jayron - 7 weeks old

Thursday, September 17 ~

I can't seem to stop taking pictures...

I know... this one is a few weeks earlier (now he almost fills out the length of the bassinet when he stretches out). But I love this pose.

Gail and John came to see Jayron. They brought him the cutest little outfits. I wanted to take pics of them! John and Gail Tolleson are really sweet. John and I work in the same building. He's a development officer.

The Jayron Smile

August 11, 2009 ~

Can’t believe Jayron's only 12 days old! We find so many fascinating things about our little son every day. One of them is his unexpected smile. Whenever Jayron has eaten and his diaper is clean and fresh and he’s well wrapped-up, he will close his eyes and flash a toothless grin. We’ve been trying for a time to catch those grins on camera without success because he does them so briefly and unexpectedly. But I finally figured out right about when they usually occur. So I captured a few today.

JAYRON

July 30, 2009 ~

Hooray, the long wait is over and Jayron Ebot Ashu is finally here. The delivery went well. He weighed in at 7 pounds and 9 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is a heart-throbber (if there's a word like that)...but he does do that to my heart. It's amazing how the motherly instinct kicks in when babies come. Definitely a worth-while experience in the end.

I'm starting a journal just for him (maybe first 100 days...) because there's just so much about this experience worth remembering. And it's better written down while it is fresh.

In short, Aaron and I are so happy, and we are grateful to all our friends and family for the support and prayers. We'll keep the updates coming.
