Finally...More pictures!

I am so sorry for taking so long to post an update and pictures! Martez is getting so big! Last Monday (3/10/08), he already weighed 10lbs 2oz. He is holding his head up on his own, he is cooing, smiling, and laughing. It seems like each week he is accomplishing a new developmental milestone. It is so fun to watch and be a part of. It is going to be hard to go back to work in fear of missing out on these changes.

Martez and his new best friend Isaac...how cute!

Martez and daddy (there's no denying that!)

You don't even want to know what he did in this towel as I was taking the picture!!!

What a beautiful smile!

Oh my gosh...Martez is already 3 weeks old! We can't believe how big he is getting. At his 2 week appointment, he weighed 8 lbs already, and he it doesn't seem like he is slowing down at all. He is smiling a lot and it is so cute! We had to let you all see it too. Morris and I are quickly adjusting to the new parenting lifestyle, and we are 2 very proud parents.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post an update. These days just seem to fly by with a baby around. Today Martez is 1 week old...I can't believe it has been a week already. The only word I can think of to describe Martez is PRECIOUS. He is the most beautiful thing to look at. Each day gets better and better. He is already smiling, and he recognizes his mom and dad's voices. Right now, he is doing a lot of eating and sleeping, but he stays awake a little longer each day. We are definitely enjoying our time with him.

Happy Birthday Martez!

Martez was born at yesterday (Superbowl Sunday) at 5:35pm! He weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 19 in long. Mommy and baby are doing great. As you can see, he is the cutest baby with features from both mommy and daddy.
