Bob, baby and Earl

Here is Earl at his favorite spot, on top of our couch. It is the perfect spot for him to sit and "supervise" Tony while he is in the swing (which is the only time he is allowed in the living room).

Tony has actually napped most of the morning, giving me time to clean the mess you see in the background. On top of the mess Bobby and I leave behind, and the usual baby mess (random formula spills on the floor, binkies and burp cloths everywhere), Earl got hold of a full bottle of gold glitter and chewed it open on the guest bed, so I got to change those sheets, too. Lesson learned: never trust a quiet basset hound.

Earl loves to be in on everything going on in the house. He is wagging his tail as we (carefully) let him sniff Tony's feet and give them a light cleaning.

We are all doing well today and looking foreward to a visit from my mom, who will be here tomorrow from San Antonio. I am sure there will be many pictures to post after this weekend, because we also are taking Tony to church for the first time on Sunday.

Who's that handsome devil in the mirror?

...and why is he constantly taking the binky out of my mouth!?

Tony and Dad

We are really feeling the exhaustion these days. I am up with Tonito all night most nights, and when I do try to sneak into bed, Bobby's snoring is usually there to prevent my falling asleep. I have taken to sleeping all morning (or, at least, between all the morning feedings). Today I finally gave up on feeling rested and truly got up and moving at about 1 P.M. This is not saying that Bobby sleeps a full eight hours, because by 4 A.M. I have usually had it and he gets up and takes over the diapering, feeding and soothing of Baby.
It is all worth it, as you can see! These pictures are from the 7:00 P.M. bottle and burping session.

at the hospital, one day old

Welcome to the world, Antonio Wray Garcia!

Antonio Wray came into this world on April 5, 2006 at 5:00 P.M. His weight at birth was 6 pounds 10 ounces, and he was 18 3/4 inches long. He's not the tiniest baby in the world, but definately not the biggest! This is one of the pictures taken by his Aunt Lorie at the hospital.
