Houston, we have a ROLL OVER!!!
Well, yesterday was a big day for Shawn. He rolled over!!!! I woke up and fed him in the morning and put him back into his crib on his stomach. A few minutes later I heard him in his crib making noises (not unusual for him, he is VERY talkative--takes after his dad!). I went over to check on him and he was facing up. He looked very confused. He is definitely going to keep me on my toes!! I sure do love this little man. :)

Our Baby Class Reunion
We were part of a baby prenatal class. Instead of having monthly 1-on-1s with the doctor we were in this class. Every month we met and had a guest speaker and a visiting doctor to answer questions. It was a great time of learning and sharing and we really became close to the other 5 couples. We met after everyone had delivered for a reunion and discussion of our birth experience. We've decided to have another reunion in a year to see how everyone is doing and to see how much our little ones have grown.
Here is our class: (L to R) Camille & Ted with baby Cassidy, Chris and Stacy with baby Connor, me and Shawn (Bryan wasn't able to attend due to work), and Valerie and a friend with baby Aija. There were two other couples that couldn't make it to the reunion.
Here are the moms and babies with Becky, one of our nurses. She was wonderful!
Introducing our little additions. It was so fun to meet the babies that had kicked us, kept us up at night and caused the morning sickness! :)

Shawn's Blessing
Baby Shawn was honored at church today. Our church has a tradition of blessing the new babies and their families. They also commit to helping to guide the child as they grow older. It was such a neat experience and we were so excited for it to finally be our turn.
Here are the three of us getting ready to go up in stage.
Here Tasha is explaining the new procedure for the blessings (they just started a new tradition and we were the first to go through it). We are on stage with our preacher, Reg Cox, and one of our Elders, Gary Southern.
They then said a prayer for Shawn. It was funny (hence why everyone is smiling) because during the prayer Gary said that they were raising hands before God and Shawn raised both his hands. I was the only one not aware of this until afterwards. I guess I will just have to watch the video.
They also presented Shawn with a beautiful blanket and Bryan and I with a year subscription to Focus on the Child (part of the Focus on the Family website). The verse on the blanket says: (Matthew 19:14) "But Jesus said, 'Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'"
