Some new things from this past month:

#1: New Hat

#2: Super Saucer fun! Thanks Shani- he loves this toy!




#3: Rolling over. Just kidding, not quite there yet! He kind rolls onto his side though ;)

#4: Eating yummy food- I think this is squash. Go Rome Go!

#5: We like to send Tommy pictures when he is at work. This one is Roman saying 'I miss you!'

#6: Wrestling matches with Gunn.

#7: Tommy is already starting to train him for baseball. He's hoping to start 'the dream' at a very young age. Here is the 'sleep osmosis' technique!

#8 This month I started back to work. I got a little teary-eyed leaving the first morning, but it makes me treasure every moment I have with my baby at home even more. Love you Romey!

And, really? Snuggie for dogs?? Worst part is that I totally wanted to buy one.

First Haircut

The time had come... my cute little baby boy had started looking less like an Elvis look-alike, and more like a wild hippie child from the 60's:

So, we got out the scissors and started chopping. Those sideburns were the first to go!

And the finished result. He looks more like his dad than ever!

2 Month Stats:


Height: 22.5 25th%ile

Weight: 10 lb 12 oz 25th%ile

Head Circumference: 16.5 90th%ile


Yes, you read that right...my baby has a huge noggin. We suspected it with pics like this:



and the Drs confirmed, haha. Guess he'll be one smart cookie with a head that big!

Blessing Day

On August 2nd, Roman had his blessing, and his dad did a great job. You wouldn't guess it by this picture, but he actually slept peacefully through the whole thing.

Love to see his sweet smile

Photo Shoot

Roman had his first photo shoot. Brie's friend Sara took some awesome pictures- thank you so much! I had a hard time choosing, so there are kind of a lot of pics- sorry :)

Holding my little chunker

Ro Ro and Gunner

Love this picture!

The place Sara took us to for the pictures was super cute

Hanging out in grungy firefighter gear

He posed his arms like this on his own. And, for some reason, he loved being in this stinky boot

Ah, my grumper baby

More Pictures

Hi! It's been a busy few weeks- here is a re-cap in pictures:

Chillaxing with cousin Gunner. Roman's already trying to be cool like him- check out the pose :)
My sweet chubby-cheek boy! He loves sleeping in as much as I do. And chubby he is- he gained 10 ounces in one week!


Hanging out with the Sanfilippo cousins. The stroller fits them all perfectly!

Meeting Great-Grandma Grace

Not too sure about those baths yet...

I think he may have gotten his hair from Grandpa!

And last, I think this may be a sign that I've been taking too many pictures... haha

Have a great week!

He's Here!

So, Monday evening I was standing in my kitchen talking to Brie, when- whoosh! Water breaks. Thank goodness there is tile in the kitchen- so gross! And thank goodness Brie was there- I think she kept me from going into shock! This was 11 days before my due date, and I had fully expected I would go past my due date and have to be induced, but my little baby had other plans. Tommy was at work, so we met him at the hospital after hurriedly throwing some things into a diaper bag! Contractions were already 2-4 minutes apart when they got me all hooked up at the hospital. But, Monday night came and went, and then Tuesday morning came and went, and still no baby! Around noon on Tuesday they decided to do a c-section because of lack of progress, and at 12:51 PM on June 15th, Roman Thomas Sanfilippo was born! Here are some pictures:

Dr. Tommy prepped for surgery :)

First picture of baby Roman!

Check out the 'hawk!

Meeting Uncle Damon, Aunt Rachel and Cousin Tanner

Snoozing away

All ready to head home from the hospital

Operation Baby Room- Complete!.....& Graduation :)

The room is ready, now all we need is the baby!! Tommy did an awesome job of installing the chair rail- it turned out great. Here are some pics...we need that new panoramic camera that Taylor Swift uses in that commercial, but you'll just have to use your imagination:

Tommy refinished the crib too- sweet huh? He's turning into quite a handy man :)

Also in recent news- graduation! Yep, finally finished my time at ASU! It was pretty easy to pick me out walking across the stage in all my prego glory :)

This pic is blurry but it totally cracked me up- the guy at the bottom of the stairs was assisting people as they walked down, and when he saw me he put both hands out to make sure I wouldn't fall...guess I looked a little shaky in my heels!
