Sean and Angi Have A Baby!

Today was my first Father’s Day.  I was able to spend the morning and most of the afternoon and evening with the little guy.  Now that Tony, Angi’s dad, is here that means there is an extra set of hands wanting to hold the baby.  That also means I have to fight for my fair share of holding time.  So most of the day Gavin was asleep so I figured that would be the perfect time to get some of that yardwork done again.  So I spent the next couple of hours in the sun ripping out those 7 palms we have in the backyard.  (Don’t worry, there will be photos to come and an update on a separate blog entry. )  Quite the transformation is occuring.  And again the driveway is filled with yard waste to be picked up for a neighbourhood cleanup.  Also, the bark pile has been completely moved and layed out.

So when I came in I finally woke up Gavin so that I could get some awake time.  We watched some Formula1 together which I’d like to think we both really enjoyed.  The only problem was that since he was asleep most of the day, and I was working, I found that I had fallen asleep quite soon but he was still wide awake on my chest.  (Or so Angi tells me.)  But I imagine he liked the cars going around and around.  We can only hope that he is neither a Ferrari or McLaren fan.  Hopefully that is not too much to ask for.

I also made a recent purchase that I think was too cute.  On Thursday, Real Madrid unveiled their 09/10 jersey and since this is the year of his birth I wanted to buy matching jersery.  One for him and one for me.  But I decided to get both in X-Large.  Of course I know that his will be too big for him to wear for quite some time but the point of this was so that every year on his birthday we’ll take a photo of him wearing it.  So naturally the first couple of years it will be way too big for him.  But eventually we’ll see some toes poking out one year.  And then maybe some feet/ankles.  And then some knees to evnetually the jersey will fit him just right!  I also decided to add a personalized touch to these jerseies.  Mine I’m getting embroidered with S.NIETO and his with G.NIETO.  Too cute huh?!  This way we’ll match.  When they come in, I’ll make sure to take some photos of him in it.  Maybe it would work as a swaddly blanket!

But now you’re probably wondering were are the new photos?  Well we do have some for you.  These are of Gavin getting to meet his new Aunt Wendy and Uncle Greg for the first time.  Gavin was so sweet being held by Wendy.

And with Uncle Greg…

Gavin’s shirt is just too cute! It really fit our Lion theme (Daddy’s Mane Man)
