Our precious baby boy, Xander Steven Dougherty, was born May 7, 2009. He weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. Now, a month later, he's almost 11 pounds of baby perfection and we love him more and more each day. It's been an amazing, special month (and four days!), filled with kisses and cuddles and happy tears. We love holding him and snuggling with him and watching the cute baby faces he makes, the way he purses his lips like he wants a kiss, the big yawns, the sneezes and streches, and listening to his coos and grunts and sweet breathing noises. He makes this adorable frown when he is about to cry and it's such a great feeling when all we need to do to stop the crying is to pick him up because he just wants to be close his mom or dad, and the way he looks at us...there's just nothing sweeter. We love to hold his tiny fingers and tickle the soft bottoms of his feet, touch his cute baby chin and looks at his long curly eyelashes. It doesn't get any better than this!
We are so happy and so lucky to have him in our lives.
Most of you are my friends on Facebook (and if you're not, you should be!) so you've seen plenty of pictures, but here are a few that haven't been published yet!
My baby boy...
Isn't he perfect?
My first post maternity photo shoot is this weekend and I can't wait to see Maxyne and Sadie, and I promise to start updating my blog more! :)

Perfect indeed. Isn't it amazing to think that you created this perfect little person? He's beautiful & he's lucky to have two parents who love him so completely.
Maegan - Did you ever imagine that you could love someone that much? It is truly an indescribable feeling! I am so happy for you and Paul and can’t wait to see and hold little Xander this Thursday!
