Sounds great. Another reason to show off my sweet boy!!!
Here you go: Shay as a newborn, and then at 4 months. He is almost 6 months now, but I don't have any more recent pics. (Maybe my update will come today.)

I'll play - here's our sweet Princesa at one-month, and one of our latest pictures, at 8-months. She will be 9-months old this week. Picture updates are just so bittersweet for me.

I love these!! I love seeing how some of the babies look exactly like they did as newborns (only more "grown up") and others look NOTHING like they did as newborns.
We are hoping for new pictures of Kemry today, so I was waiting to post these until we received them. Hopefully this will "jinx" me and we'll get them now that I posted this. LOL If I get them today, I'm posting again! LOL Here she is at birth/referral and at 2mo old.
