more Bjørn pics…

…finally!

First I want to explain this one…
no, I was not just ignoring my screaming baby boy
so I could get a picture!
This was taken at the doctor’s office on the day of his circumcision.
Do you think he knew what was coming?!
Really, he just hates to be cold,
and we had to undress him in order to get his weight!

This is one of my favorite pictures!
Doesn’t he have such beautiful long fingers?

And the announcement of our little man!
This was up at Andrew’s work for over a week…
so fun to see his name in ‘lights’ and all the town knows he’s here!
(of course most have already butchered the pronouncement
of his name… this is definitely NOT a scandinavian town!)
I have posted lots more pictures here, so check them out!
Amy and Ryan, I seem to have stolen your
“days of Paisley” theme… I hope you don’t mind?

a sad day

I have never, in my life, felt so sad that a battery would die! In a few short days I have become so attached to my camera that I feel somewhat lost without it. What if Bjorn does something especially cute today? Or makes an especially sweet face when he naps? I will have to treasure that shot in my heart, and apologize for not being able to share it with you!
So, in honor of my lack-of-camera today (and the fact that I really was going to try to upload some newer pictures today - also requiring those same batteries that we are out of!) here’s a picture of my little man last week!

I love that yawn!!

Life as a mom…

I can’t believe how much I love being a mom… life feels so amazingly RIGHT now, and in some ways I feel like I have been Bjorn’s mom forever, even though he has only been here a week.
I have so much to say, but no words right now to describe the thoughts and feelings I am having, other than to say: I love being a mom. I was made to be a mom. Life is good!
