Baby Boy Jones Update

My Papà sent me this update and photos, He's already taking this Grandpa thing seriously! ;-))) GO GRANDPA!

Baby Boy Jones is off the ventilator and is eating mother's milk through a feeding tube. They are going to try to bottle feed him tomorrow. The photo is a little dark because there is no flash allowed in the NICK-U and they had the lights turned down. He is so precious and soft. We love him so much. They are saying that he may have to stay 3 maybe 4 weeks in the hospital. Please pray that he doesn't have to stay that long.

L♥VE!!!!

A baby is born!

Soooo, my little nephew decided it was a good idea to come into this world about 7 weeks early! Poor thing has to be in ICU and in the incubator for a few weeks, but I am happy to report that so far he is doing fine! We haven't got a name yet, since of course Nick and Katie thought they still had 7 weeks to decide! I was told that there are two names in the running which are Preston and Decker, but I by far, prefer Preston!

Baby Jones

Enrico and I had planned our Christmas vacation around this little bugger's due date which originally was December 18th. We had bought our tickets for Dec. 17th hoping to be in San Diego for the birth! Oh well! Some things just can't wait! So we are looking forward to holding this precious little gift when we get there in December!

Proud Grandpa!

Look at all that blonde hair! He reminds me of Nick when he was born!

Baby Shower Gift Idea The PUJ TUB!!!

So I saw this awesome thing on Blonde Designs Blog and thought it was absolutely something to share!

It's the Puj Tub!

"The Puj Tub Fits in any standard bathroom sink. It is truly a life saver because it helps me to conserve water because the Puj Tub is made from a soft, non slip, and warm material. This means I don’t have to fill up a large tub with hot water just to keep my baby warm. I can use just a little and rinse as needed to finish the bath."

Tired of messy bath times where you end up just as wet as the baby, fighting with giant plastic tubs? So were we!

In these pictures you can see his long nails that nobody wanted to cut - so I did! Everyone was so scared to clip his fingers and Cristiana was just too out of it to be bothered! So she told me I could do it if I was up to it! Piece of cake! ;) EVERYONE was speachless that I actually did cut his nails. Again, piece of cake! I love children, and have cut their nails before, so yes, I was up to it!

To keep them busy,
I let them get into my make-up bag......

....in the making...
......and this is how I looked after "keeping them busy".
I must say, they have a good chance
at opening a salon when they get older!!! ;)

Happy Uncle Enrico
