Happy birthday to the best Mom in the universe!

You really are one to be admired, respected, looked up to and so much more. Your motherly loving heart for each one of us, your kids, our husbands/wives and their families, your grandkids, their friends and on and on it goes truly goes above and beyond and is an example that I hope to emulate to my kids and those that cross my path as well.

I really love you Mom and can't thank you enough for all you've done for me all throughout my life and most recently my little family as well. I wish and pray for the best for you in this coming year and an extra special day today as well.

With our love and prayers!

Welcome to our world & family little Trevor Massimo Vitali!

And here he is, some pix of his first days...

Born on August 20, 2010, at 14:31. Weighing 8.9lbs and measuring 20.67" in length.

We're so happy he's here. He's already such a joy and lovely addition to our family.

A big thank you

to everyone who prayed. As of my last prenatal visit (yesterday), it seems the baby turned around -- yay! Now let's just pray he stays that way and comes real soon! We'll keep you all posted.

A favorite quote

That I came across and just had to post:

“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

Last weekend

We took Conner to the Zoo and discovered some new places there which was fun for us and him. He got to see some animals pretty close up and it was a beautiful day with perfect weather. Here are a couple pics I snapped with my phone:

Love this pic above of Conner walking with Daddy, he looks so grown up and like such a little man.


Then dear Mom watched Conner so we could enjoy a movie in the theater together, which was pretty special seeing as we haven't gone to one since before Conner. (It was pretty different not listening to a monitor the whole time.) And it was a great movie so that was double fun! Thanks again Mom, you're the best!

Now we're just waiting for our newest munchkin to show up...

And the countdown begins...

In about two weeks (give or take) Conner's going to be a big brother and among other things, have to share this little blog! We need some prayers that Conner will adjust well to having a sibling and I also need prayers that the baby's head turns around as he's currently in the posterior position (head facing up) which isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least he's head down. But if he turned around and faces down, it just means I might have a shorter labor and less back pain which would be great!!! Anyways, if you ever think about us, prayers around this time are appreciated!

In other news, Conner officially has his own big boy bed!! He's growing up so much and now we're just hoping he starts enjoying sleeping in his own bed. It's a big change for him even though it's just the first step, but it's a step nonetheless.

Conner's also adding new words to his vocabulary every day, it's sooo fun to watch him grow up.

Another visit to Wild Animal Park

We took Conner to Wild Animal Park last Sunday and Fisher Price had a whole tent set up with some of their toys and bunch of different cars to ride on depending on the age of the kid. We put Conner in one that he could drive by himself just by pressing a button. He loved it (even though he doesn't seem to show it in this clip)! Here's a little clip...
