One Hundred Days Ago...

Dear Little Hob,


One hundred days ago, you came into our lives and things will never, ever be the same!  You have grown and changed so much in 100 days and we can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.


You have also taught us, your parents, so much in the last 100 days.  Here are a few of the highlights....


Riding home from the hospital
  • Not all babies take naps....we were not aware of this until you came along.  If we're lucky, you take a few 20-30 minute naps a day but you fight it every step of the way!
Some days, the only way you will take a nap is in your Baby K'Tan!
  • Everything is new and beautiful through baby eyes.  Watching you see something for the first time makes our hearts happy. :)
  • Don't put babies on their tummies right after they eat.  Really.  This never turns out good for anyone.
  • You love sunshine!  Some of the times when you are the happiest is when we are out walking around the neighborhood.  You rarely fall asleep on these walks because you are so busy just taking it all in.
  • Parenting is like tag-teaming your way through life.  It seems like every time one of us is taking care of you, the other is prepping whatever needs to be done next!  (Or chasing after the dogs!)
You and Papa Hob getting ready for a party!
  • It is not possible to have too many pacifiers on hand.  We'll be excited if you figure out how to keep it in your mouth sooner rather than later! :)
  • The first time we heard your little laugh I'm pretty sure our hearts melted.  If we could bottle that feeling, we'd be millionaires!
  • There's no such thing as being discreet when it comes to you and diapers.  You don't care where we are; if it needs done, it gets done.
  • We have loved watching you go from hating baths to LOVING bath-time.  This week you figured out how to get the little bath loofah/washcloth into your mouth.  Bath toys are in your future as soon as you can sit up a little better!   
Little Hob at 2 weeks old.  He was REALLY mad about something but
adorable somehow anyway. :)
  • You HATE to have your picture taken.  We have been taking you to BRU monthly to get photos done and you have cried and screamed through all three photo sessions so far.  Hopefully this gets better as you get a little older because you really have a nice smile you could be showing off!
  • We love to sit and snuggle with you.  You love listening to stories before you go to bed and are starting to "read" along with us.  
  • You've taught us that every baby sleeps through the night eventually...it was almost magical the first day we woke up and realized you had made it all night!
It has been an absolute joy to have you in our lives and we can't wait to see what else you have in store for us in the upcoming months.


Our sweet little family. :)

Love,
Mama Hob & Papa Hob
