Can you believe winter is knockin on our door already? Seems like just last week Sonia was telling me she was pregnant! Now it's much later and here we are. Life is just as breezy as that cold winter wind. I have to say 2008 has been a monumental year. It's been awhile since I've taken time to post mainly because so much is going on. After a long but triumphant recovery from her C-section experience Sonia was told last week that she had to have her gallbladder removed! WHAT!?! Yeah man, my poor babygirl had to have her gallbladder surgically removed this past monday, as if her body hadn't been through enough bringing a baby into the world just two months ago. Hats off to you Sonia! My strength lies in supporting you and our son, where does yours come from? Whew!
Xavier began his immunizations last week as well. At first we didn't know what to expect. Y'know you hear so many horror stories about this stuff. "I got my child vaccinated and he turned into the wolfman"...So many shots DOES seem rather excessive, and I really feel for every parent who's had to worry about this. I don't know, all you can do is pray and be thankful for every blessing. The doctor was very reassuring and we feel this is necessary to protect our child so we braced ourselves for what we expected to be a heartbreaking experience. I held his legs as the nurse stuck our boy with those big needles. Much to our surprise Xavier took his shots like a real he-man. He cried about 1/4th of a second, looked at the nurse and growled like "is that all you got baby?" Sonia and I were relieved...and amazed.
As "Bubby" (as Sonia calls him) approaches his third month of life, he is so much fun to watch. He's understanding the use of his hands more, as you can see in the picture of me holding him up there. (he's making sure he doesn't lose that pacifier!) Just this morning he held his bottle for the first time as I fed him which was nice because it freed up my hands to do some very important channel surfing. And he's practicing his vocals also. Is that called "cooing"? Yes? O.k., thats what he's doing. I can tell he can't wait to tell me the meaning of life. And I can't wait to tell him "YOU'RE WRONG BOY!" Anyway enjoy the pics. Love to all!

Hey Marc and Sonia - So Bubby said "bring it on." I guess he said he can take those stinkin' shots anyday of the week. That's my Xavey-pie!
As for Sonia's surgery - get well soon! You both find your strength in each other(and of course with your little baby).
