Happy New Year!

I apologize for the lack of posts in the past few days. We were experiencing some technical difficulties, all of which have been resolved. Here's a quick recap:

12/25 - Christmas Day was spent at Hannah's house. She fixed a lovely dinner and we opened up our stocking gifts sent by Mom from Delaware. Although it was decided earlier this year that we would not be exchanging gifts, my uber-generous sister broke the rules. She had helped Ed and I finance a new mattress earlier this month and her gift to us was to pay it off in full! The words "thank you" just don't cut it...

12/28 - Game night at Hannah's. It's great to go over knowing that I can nurse the baby and put him down in the Pack & Play while enjoying a night among adults! Ed and I truly enjoy Hannah and Reagan's company...and competition! Today is also Booker's due date, which is really strange! We're grateful for his continuing growth and health.

12/31 - Booker's first cold :( It's a terrible thing to hear a little baby coughing and sneezing! Although I knew there was little they could do for him, we went to the doctor's first thing this morning just to make sure. The good news is that our little eater is 8 1/2 pounds! The bad news is that we'll have to put up with the coughing, sneezing and snot for another few days. A quiet New Year's Eve was brought in at Hannah's with more games and a dinner of keilbasa and pierogi...a Barabasz family tradition during the holidays!

01/01/2008 - Booker is 8 weeks old today! Check out the double chin! Booker and I had a chat in the NICU when he was four days old. I told him that he needed to grow some chubby checks for Mommy to kiss. Now I know he was listening! He is just the sweetest boy...

I'll try to catch some more photos later when he wakes up...
