Aliya is 1 month old now, and time is really flying by.  She is a joy to have, we have been truly blessed!

We celebrated her 1 month birthday with our great friends the Ashton’s and had cupcakes.  We figured that the kids would love any excuse to have cupcakes with birthday candles to blow out and sing happy birthday.  Secretly I think Jay liked the idea as well.  You can see that he has two cupcakes on his plate!  ha

My friend Kayla made this adorable blanket for Aliya.  We love it so much.  The colors and patterns are perfect.  Thank you Kayla!

Remember me?  I’m Raja.  I used to have quite a bit of recognition on this site.  Don’t worry I’m still around.  I can be found laying in the corner, sitting on my bed, or outside by myself.  If you would like to play, you should come by sometime.  I’ll be here…

Happy Father’s Day Jay.  This will be your first Father’s Day but not the last.  Thank you for your constant help and support in our home.  Aliya and I love you so much and are so glad that you are in our lives.

She is so much fun taking pictures of.  I love her smile!

Last night was her best night sleeping.  She was able to sleep 6 hours straight last night.  Jay fed her around 2:15 am and then she woke up at 6am.  I fed her and then I took Raja and Aliya on a walk around our neighborhood.  Can you believe it I was up walking by 7am.  That is pretty amazing for me!  It was a good thing I did it then, because once I got home it was getting very HOT.  We are going to have a very hot summer, I only wish Aliya was a little older so we could head to the pool.

Life is great, we are so happy having Aliya in our home.

Officially Aliya has more clothes than I do.  We were so blessed by the gifts that our friends and family have given us.  Thank you.  Aliya will be very well dressed and taken care of!

As you can see Raja was a litle depressed that he didn’t get anything.  Good thing Grandma Malwitz sent him a chew toy!

Grandma Smith came out for a few days and had a great time helping me out.  She took some of the late night feedings and changed a lot of diapers.  Thanks mom!  Jay got to sleep two nights in a row without baby duity.  But sadly grandma left and it’s just the three of us.  This will be a very short post because baby is wanting some more attention.
