Jonah's Weekly Pictures

It all started before Shayna was born when my friends, Erica & Laura, gave me a shower gift that included a bear along with cards numbers 1-52. It was then that the weekly pictures began. Each week for the first 52 of Shayna's life we took pictures with Mr. Bear and the weekly number to document her growth and changes.

Of course just because we're on #2 doesn't mean the pictures stop!! That just wouldn't be very nice to Jonah. So we've begun the process again. Hopefully we won't be too forgetful and remember to take them weekly :) I'm sure Shayna will be appearing in a few here and there as well.

Because we've gone through this process once before we have a better idea of the type and need of pictures necessary to make the final product (a picture book). So of course there won't be nearly as many pictures as there were for Shayna's weekly shoots...but rest assured there will definitely be weekly pics of our newest little boy!!

You can view the weekly pics at the picture link on the right side -- we're just going to be adding each week to the same album.

Enjoy!!

Welcome Jonah Harper 2/3/06


Well who would have thought that when mommy said i want to meet Jonah on 2/3 (b/c it's a cool date and Shayna is 8/9..) that it actually would have happened!!

We are so happy and lucky to have a very healthy baby boy on our hands. Jonah was born on Sunday Feb 3rd at 7:33am. He was 7lbs 7 oz and 20 in long. He is just precious!!

He started to let us know late Saturday night that he might be ready to join us. This was after a very busy day of Charlotte at Play in the morning with Shayna, spicy Thai food with our friends Alexis, David and Natalie for lunch, selling a couch in the afternoon from craigs list -- i love it!-- and going for a walk/to the park!! wow -- makes me tired just writing it all down :)

so i started to write the whole story of how the rest of the night went and just got bored and tired...so if you haven't already heard it, Evan loves to tell it and would be glad to share. Bottom line is it was a very fast and pretty easy delivery and we have a wonderful healthy baby boy.

Shayna is starting to become intrigued by Jonah and watching his every move. She's not a big fan of daddy playing with him, but hopefully over time that will pass!!

We have posted pics of the little man and some of shayna of course too so feel free to check them out.
