This morning Arin got his first haircut. He is a few days short of 6 months old, but his hair was everywhere! In his eyes, over his ears, and forming little rats nests in the back… so it was time for a trim. He was born with dark hair like mommy, but it has since grown in blond… so now that its short you can really see a difference. I think he looks older (and definitely blond), aww! I am also not the best hairdresser, but hopefully in a few days it will grow in and look a little more…

This was taken on October 17, 2007, soon after Bobo was first introduced to the baba. I think this is Week 9. Seems like he spent all day eating, and I got to spend all that time cuddling him up! I miss those babas. 🙂

Arin’s weekly “birthdays” are on Sunday, so each new week is another week old. This week he turned nine weeks, and today we had his two-month doctor’s visit. Everything went well, he is the picture of health and still the cutest thing ever according to the staff, not to mention extremely happy. The doctor was impressed that he’s already giggling (he was having so much fun ‘playing’ with her during the exam’), and the nurses were talking about how content and happy he is, and said that you can always tell the babies (like Arin) who get lots of attention…

I have been posting what few pictures I have put up to facebook, so head on over there to take a look. I’m slowly editing more… I hope to have an entry for each week Arin’s been around. So, here are some pictures from week 8! Arin has been doing so well. He’s still pretty slender but he likes to eat a lot still. He’s been smiling and happy since birth but now he’s making all kinds of happy noises too, his vocalizations are definitely increasing. His hair is growing in golden blond, of all things! He has this long…

Taken on September 20th, Bobo got dressed up for Christmas early in his adorable Santa pajamas. I know its months away but I couldn’t help myself. Also he’s sucking on his Winnie the Pooh pacifier and sleeping like a little angel, aww.

Bobo looks so sweet with his kissable cheeks and ‘lover’s lips’ as Noni says. His eyes are still that dark blue color, turning slowly into dark brown. And of course, he’s sporting a nifty little mohawk with his super fine soft baby hair.

Week 1 Okay, so this is still Week 1… two pics for the first week! This was taken August 7th, two days after the little munchkin was born. The midwife was telling me how much newborn babies like having their bottoms patted, and it was true, he liked it! We were in the hospital for a few days after delivery because of Arin’s jaundice, but finally we got to go home with a to-go Bilirubin light that I legitimately had to acquire in a sketchy back alley scenario. His skin is a lovely olive yellow color, because just like me,…

So here’s the start of my Black and White of the Week project… Week 1! Picture for Bobo’s first week, taken just after he was born and finally in my arms. This entry is backdated from 2011, I will go back and try to do every week from all four years since he was born.

Announcing Our New Baby Arin Thomas McGilvray was born on August 5th at 9:12 am. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces (not the nine pounder they predicted!) and was 20.5 inches long. He took his time and gave us a few scares but now he’s ten days old and doing great. Not to mention he’s the cutest thing in the whole world. Here are some pictures from the hospital:

It’s not letting me post these with the previous post, so here they are, separately. We finally scanned in the pictures from Ultrasound #2. I sharpened them up and such in Photoshop, and once again presented them unmarked and then with little labels so you can tell what you’re looking at. Isn’t he cute?? 😉
