Mother's Day

I really enjoyed my first Mother's Day. Chris was awesome and gave me breakfast in bed, and he took care of the baby so I could sleep in as well as giving me pretty flowers, a sweet card and a variety of wonderful chocolate treats. For our moms, we gave them pictures of little Christopher. They were taken by my sister-in-law, Alicen, and I think they turned out awesome! She did such a great job. I'm putting on some of my favorites, plus a slideshow of many of the pictures she took. I have looked at these pictures over and over- they never get old. I am loving being a mom! I am also so lucky to have an amazing mom who has always been there for me and has been an incredible example. She has been a huge blessing in my life and I'm thankful for her every day of the year.

One Month Old

This blog update is long overdue, and I have a ton I could write about, but I'll keep this somewhat short. Since our last post, we have had the baby blessing, a move to southern California, great visits with family and friends... and our baby is now one month old. Chris is doing an internship at his dad's work with the welding engineer, and we are living with his family in Fountain Valley (right by Huntington Beach). We are enjoying being with family and are loving the great weather.

My family is spread all across the world this summer- Chrissy and Kevin currently in Hawaii on vacation, David and Heather (and Taylor) in Ukraine for an internship, Marie on BYU ballroom tour back east, Becky at BYU-Idaho, and the rest in Utah. It's weird that we're all spread so far apart, but it makes me grateful for e-mail, cell phones, and Skype.

Christopher is just as cute as ever and I love being with him all day. He is a very good baby and doesn't cry much. He is very sweet and calm and easy. He did great on the drive down to CA and even does pretty well during the nights. I sometimes take naps during the day or sleep in, and that helps too. Chris is a great help and is really good with the baby. Here are some pictures taken over the last couple of weeks:

This is of course what he spends most of his time doing-

He doesn't get his thumb in his mouth very often, but I think it's very cute when he does!

Just chillin with Dad. Sometimes I forget how tiny he is until I see a picture like this.

I know this picture is sideways, but I'm having issues trying to fix it and am giving up. You can still see how cute he is though!

I think this picture is hilarious! I love his eyes, but he looks way more chubby in this picture than I think he really is.

We have gotten a couple of little smiles from him, so hopefully we'll be able to get pictures of that soon! I have more pictures I want to post, especially of the blessing, but I need to get those pictures (they are on another camera) so keep posted! I won't let a whole month go by before I do it either!

BABY BABY BABY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 9 months we are finally here...parents...it's a very good feeling albeit one that is a bit too hard to explain. Anyways, we are stoked to announce that on friday, 7:37pm, Sara gave birth to a perfectly healthy and beautiful baby boy. Lil Christopher David Waldron was 7lbs 2oz and 20inches long. Late Thursday night Sara started her contractions and we headed for the hospital at about 9:30am. Sara made steady progress until baby was born. Both are healthy and doing great. Hope you enjoy some pictures of our recent bundle of joy!

Pictures of Sara in the Last Few Days of Pregnancy

Well 10 days and counting!!! I am way stoked for the new baby, I keep telling Sara it's my turn to hold the baby, but she won't give it up! I am a very proud husband. My wife is cute and the baby will be cuter. Sara has done the whole pregnancy thing well...she has only hated me a few times and I have only had to make one late late night trip to the 7-11 (at least it wasn't for anything weird like pickles!) So here is a few pictures...Sara might not agree, but she really didn't get that huge. We'll see if she expands anymore in the last 10 days.

Welcome to our blog!

Hi family and friends!

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now, but kept putting it off thinking I didn't have anything really interesting to post (and not knowing how to do it anyway). But with our baby coming soon, I figured I should have the blogging thing figured out first, so I can actually post info about our baby when he is born!

My little disclaimer is that I am not very talented or clever with this type of thing, so don't expect to be entertained or impressed by my clever remarks or cute gadgets. I just wanted a way to be able to keep family and friends updated on our lives. :) I can't promise that I'll be diligent in updating it frequently, but I'll give it a try.

Coming soon: pregnant pictures and baby room pictures as well as a poll for our baby's name (we are still undecided!)
