Father's Day

We spent Father's Day weekend in Omaha.  Abram met Great-Grandpa Clayton and Great Uncle Randy and Great Uncle Chris for the first time this weekend.  He had such a busy weekend figuring out how to smile and meeting all his extended  family he slept the entire 4 hour car ride home from Omaha to Iowa City.

Before heading to Omaha we spent the night with Erin and Donny.  Abram was making new friends all over the place.

One Month

These pictures were taken during Abram's fourth week.  I wish I had more time to add all the funny stories that Abram has provided us with but he keeps us pretty busy with all the eating, sleeping and eliminating he does.We'd been so busy with trying to meet Abram's basic needs that we forgot he had all kinds of fun toys so we got them all out.  We think we may have overstimulated the little guy but the cats were really excited about all the fun new things.

Fun after bathtime.

Abram's first hug from great-aunt V.  We had a great week together - it went by way too fast.

First Trip to Pagliai's

Abram, Josh and Aunt Vicki outside Pagliai's Pizza in Iowa City.  Aunt Vicki and Uncle Chris used to love coming to Pagliai's when they lived in Iowa City so V wanted to get Abram started early.  We caught the eye of a photographer taking pictures for the Cedar Rapids Gazette while we were there so keep an eye out for Abram's first newspaper appearance.
