More about Canton

I’ve had some big days!  I’ve met so many friends and family and I’m starting to learn how this whole life thing works. 

I’ve had a lot of questions about my name.  My middle name is after mom’s uncle and my first name comes from mom and dad just listing some names that end in the letter “n”.  It doesn’t hurt that Canton is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame! 🙂

Mike and I feel very blessed.  Canton is an incredible baby, there are no words to describe how lucky we are.  He loves to move around, he was active while I was carrying him and he’s definitely the same baby.  We’ve walked the floors for hours at a time, we’re pretty exhausted, but couldn’t have asked for more.

Learning the new role of being a parent

We are beginning to learn the little details of being a parent.  (check the post time – 3:23am)  It is tiring but we wouldn’t trade it for the world!

I thought about taking a picture of a finally sleeping newborn, but was too afraid the flash would wake him.  So instead, here is what he looked like sleeping at the hospital.  Good night everyone!
