Learning

There's a lot of learning that's involved with becoming new parents.

In the last week or so, both Myles and I have had to go to the doctor's--me for a shoulder injury, him for a stomach virus. It was a learning experience for me. First, I had to learn that I have to take a modicum of care of myself so I can take care of my son. Also, I learned that there is no worse or more terrifying feeling than when your kid is sick. Being a mom is definitely the greatest/hardest thing I have ever done. And I am not even 4 weeks into it. Thankfully, Mason is the greatest friend, husband and father. Myles is starting to feel better and I am so thankful that sleepless nights are all we have to show for it.

He is growing fast- a whopping 8lbs, 12oz. And he is learning everyday. So are we!

This poor little fella doesn't get enough attention.

Love the shot of Coleen reading to wide-eyed Myles. A classic indeed!
