Lets go padres, Lets go!!

Can you believe this is our first family photo since delivery day? It seems one of us is always behind the camera. Here we are.. The Romeros 5 before a Padre game. Well, Baby Michael didn't get to go, he stayed home with his Nana Deanne and Grandpa Mike. But we dressed him in a baseball outfit so he could cheer from home! Michael and I know we look a little tired, but we still manged to have a great time at the game. Padres lost...of course! But the hot dog and beer softened the loss!

Papa Time!

Here is Baby Michael feeling his first raindrops! Papa walked him around in the sprinkling rain to introduce him to fall weather! He was a little unsure of the speckles on his arms and face. It's moments like these that we love so much...experiencing new things with our little man!
We are all thankful that the temperature has dropped (and we are hoping the electric bill will as well!) and that fall is in the air. There is even the faint scent of burning fireplaces in the neighborhoods around our area. It's time to take out the holiday decor!


Baby Michael loves spending time with his papa! They love to sit and relax together. Baby Michael also loves his hands! He is in awe of his fingers and thinks they are delicious! Here is a snapshot of my two favorite men having some lazy time on the couch.

YeeeHawww!

Howdy Partners!


We are trying to decide what Baby Michael will be for Halloween and we are considering making him a cowboy! Here he is sporting his sheriff cowboy hat and a killer grin! We are so excited to put hats on him now that they fit him better! He tolerates having them on and doesn't seem to mind. We are going to take advantage of this time, because we know he will soon be able to reach up and pull them off. Also, notice the double chin! Fabulous!!

Our Little Pooh Bear

"Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, Chubby little cub all stuffed with fluff, it's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, Silly willy nilly old bear!"
As you can see, our pooh bear is getting round! We hear a grumbly in his tumbly many times a day...and night! We love his rolls and tummy! He is nice and healthy and fun to tickle and kiss!!!

Don't forget about me!!!

We thought we should honor Chloe since she has taken the back seat since baby Michael arrived! She has been a super dog, only barking when people knock on the door. This sometimes wakes the baby, but we try and be understanding that she is just doing her doggie job!! She sleeps around the house, sometimes facing the swing while baby Michael is in it. She wakes up and she will pop her head up when she hears him stir in his pack and play or cry. Overall, she has been a trooper.

We are sad to say that we had to get rid of her buddy, Sophie cat. But we are pleased to say that we found her a good home! We miss her greatly, but know she was meant to be with her new family!

Getting Big...

Baby Michael is getting big and is anxious to look around! If only he could sit up already!! Here he is in his Bumbo chair trying to sit up like a big boy. We are anxious for him to sit up also, since this skill will likely grant us a few more minutes to get things done around the house.

As you can see, he is getting used to the camera and is quickly learning to pose for a photo. What a ham!

Mama's little helper...

Mama really needed my help cleaning the other day. I really didn't want her to put me down for one second! So she put me to work. I'm becoming a big help now that I am grasping objects! Here I am helping her put the dishes away. She feels like she didn't get a lot done, but I think she did! We are working on how to accomplish things together! We make a great team!!
