Adam's Song

Well, Adam and I (Stephen)were chatting this morning and he thought it would be nice if he sang a song he wrote for his mommy. I thought it was a good idea so I went and got the camera. This song is dedicated to his mommy and is entitled "I Love My Mommy". Oh, he also wanted me to let you know that he composed the lyrics all by himself. He is growing so fast!

Here are some bonus pictures:

Yippie! Swimming for the first time!

Nice hair!!!

Awww! You can never have too many pictures of Adam sleeping.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Tummy time and Bumbo!

This past weekend, Sarah's family was able to come down for a visit. We will be posting more about that as soon as we are able to gather together some pics from the weekend. Sarah's mom and dad(Grandma and Grandpa Williams) bought Adam a new Bumbo seat, which we are so excited about. He looks so cute in it! Here are a few cute pics of the Bumbo seat as well as some of Adam enjoying some tummy time. :)

Our First Family Portraits

Yippie, here are our first family portraits! Kelly, Stephen's sister, brought some of her photography gear with her the last time she was in town and took these photos. She did a great job. Thanks Kelly! Adam looks sooooo cute! Well, I hope you enjoy them.

So happy together!!

Sorry that it has taken so long for us to post anything. As you can see, Adam is really growing! He is now a little over 3 months old. He is filling our lives with such joy. I can't believe how content and happy he is most of the time. We love him so much and are so thankful to God for blessing us with such a beautiful little boy.

Here are some random pics from over the past month. Enjoy!

Adam's dedication...

On Mother's Day, we had the priviledge of having Adam dedicated to the Lord at our church here in Richmond - Grace Community Baptist. What an exciting time! We praise the Lord for the joy he has given us in Adam and are praying that he will grow to fall in love with God and His Word. What a tremendous responsibility we have been given as parents...we are praying even now that God will touch his heart and draw Adam to Himself one day.

For now, I can only rejoice in this tremendous blessing that we have been given. Adam has been such a sweet, adorable baby and has filled our lives with such joy! He is now 11 lbs. 2 oz. and growing! At our last Dr. appointment, he was given 5 shots! Ouch! It was almost too much for me to watch him experiencing that pain, but he really is a tough little boy and cried only momentarily, then was just fine. The hardest part for me was having to go to work immediately after the appointment was over. I just wanted to stay and hold my baby all day and just be there in case he just needed some extra loving...just those motherly instincts I guess... :) Also, he has been sleeping 8-9 hours per night for about 1 month now, which is amazing!! It's incredible how God knows just what we need. I realize that EVERY parent prays that their child will sleep through the night at 4-5 weeks of age, but for me this was especially true. I headed back to work when he was 6 weeks old and was preparing myself for things to change...for Adam to suddenly decide the night before I had to return to work that he would be up every 2-3 hours, but it never happened. In fact, he slept through the night my entire first week back and then on Friday night/Saturday morning he woke up at 3 am. It was as if he knew that Mommy could go back to sleep if she needed to on Saturday...he's so thoughtful, this baby of mine. :) Of course, I know who really gets the credit...what an awesome God we have!

Our little camper...

We took a hike down to the bottom of this beautiful waterfall. We had Adam all bundled up, but had to remove some of the layers because it became such a gorgeous, warm day.

Laughing with Daddy!!

Sitting by the fire...

Our tent...

Well, Adam took his first trip camping last weekend. We journeyed to the Shenandoah Mountains and stayed in a tent at Big Meadows campground. As his mother, I certainly had my inhibitions about the whole thing with him still being so young, but what a trooper!! He was an amazing baby the whole time...you would never have known there was an infant among us! He slept so well and hardly fussed the entire weekend. We were so proud...I think one day we may have a mountain man on our hands. :) He truly seems to love God's creation as much as we do and does so well in the great outdoors.

Smiles!

Adam has started smiling! We are just as happy and excited as he is. These pictures were taken at Maymont Park in Richmond.

He loves his sling carrier...he slept during most of our trip to the park. When we took him out, he was happier than ever and just started smiling like crazy. Im glad we had the camera!

Yes, he still crosses his eyes a bit. He's sooooo cute! We couldn't have asked for a more beautuful and healthy baby. God is so good!
