Playing At Home...

Close up of Frankie's "Alfalfa" Spot...Can't get that hair to lay down!

Oh mom can't you fix my hair!!!

Cuddle time with mommy.

Double chin...but still so skinny...how does this happen? :)

Daddy's new hat...

Frankie's new hat.

Relaxing after a hard day of eating and sleeping.

Tummy time...he didn't understand the concept

He kept trying to climb over the log...

We think he will be an early crawler...definately a mover and a shaker!

Frank is really a great Daddy and is so funny. He loves playing with Frankie and helping out with diaper changes, bottle feedings...whatever mommy needs help with. I think when Frankie can really laugh at things Frank will bend over backwards trying to get a giggle, but until then here are some silly pics from diaper changes and Frankies first tummy time.

First Beach Trip...

We are fortunate enough to live only minutes from the coast line here in Virginia. I LOVE the ocean so I really wanted Frankie to get his tiny toes in the water and sand...he really seemed to love it! It was a beautiful day and the perfect temperature...the water was so warm that when I stuck his tiny toes in he pee'd on me! Oh well...mommy is the best target I guess! Hope everyone had as good a 4th as we did!

Daddy kisses and love from lla-lla Whitney.

Mommy, Frankie and lla-lla Whitney.

Enjoying the salt air...definitely a Navy boy!

Ahhhhhh the warm water feels so good on my tippy toes!!

The sand between my toes! (excuse mommy's boobs)

Meeting Aunt Tori and Seeing Vive Again...

Aunt Tori feeding you.

Getting some Auntie and Grandma loving.

Snuggle time with Aunt Tori

Daddy, Frankie and Aunt Tori...Daddy just got home from work.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to visit this week. I think Vive is in love and now so is Aunt Tori. It was nice to have them here. We had a wonderful time. Vive even set to work making some cushions for his great glider we found! Vive is making our house so beautiful...THANKS VIVE!!! Frankie loved his visit with Vive and Aunt Tori he got lots of hugs and kisses and even more snuggle time than he could hope for! We miss you Vive and Aunt Tori! Sorry for waking you up so much! :)

Bath Time and Vive and Aunt Tori Visit...

Frankie finally had his first "Bath Bath". He loved it so long as the washcloth on his chest didn't get to cold! He was so calm afterwards...a sweet little angel! Mommy may have to give him baths more often!! :) He had quite the audience too because Vive, Tori, and Daddy came in to take pictures!!! Paparazi already...no privacy!! haha!

Mommy let the wash cloth get to cold...poor fella.

Getting under those cute double chins!!

What the heck are you doing momma!!!

Just loving it!!

Hanging out with Daddy till the water got warm.

First Bath...

Look at my handsome boy and his beautiful brown eyes!!

Mommy looking horrible (it was 3 am) and my sweet boy...I love this one because the way he is looking up at me.

So I am a mean horrible mommy...Frankie threw up for the first time the other night and we had to give him (and mommy) a sponge bath. He didn't like it at all...hence no pictures of the actual bathing part. Daddy had to hold him while mommy washed him off...but after he was so calm. I think next time he may actually like it. Plus he smelled so yummy and looked so ADOREABLE in his little hooded towel!

Even More Pics of Our Little Man...

Trying to catch a smile from our cute boy!

Our little sleepy head.

Popping collars with Daddy.

Daddy's way of putting him to bed...he loves having his head rubbed.

Sooooo sweet!!! :)

Frank Madison Marti has ARRIVED!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

If you haven't already figured out we had our little man!!! He was born on June 19th via C-section. He was 6lbs 15oz and 20 inches long! He is such a cute little peanut, but mommy can't believe that as big and hard and my belly was that he is so small!! haha! His name changed several times before Daddy finally settled on one and ran in and told me right before they made the incision....Frank Madison Marti. He was so sure about it and when Frankie came out we were very sure about it. We had been planning on a vaginal birth, but mommy couldn't dilate past 4 centimeters....I was at 4 for 8 hours!!!! I was so relieved to have him out and they definitely got him out and in his Daddy's arms quick! We had a wonderful experience at Portsmouth Naval!!! That is the best staff in the world! We really appreciate the love and skill you guys showed our family!!! He was quite a favorite with the nurses....we would wake up and he would be missing and we would go in search for him only to find him being hugged and kissed and passed around by the night nurses!! What can I say he is a ladies man! Mommy is doing wonderful and healing fast and Daddy has been just amazing as a first time Daddy! He is a natural. Here are some pics and we will hopefully be posting more in the near future! He is such a wonderful baby and so laid back that I am sure free time can and will be found! :)
