Second day with Igor


We started the day off with a 6:30 am phone call from our two angels, Christian and Logan. They were both very excited and full of questions. We also appreciate all the comments and love hearing from each and every one of you.
We met with Igor twice today, once at 11:00am for 20 minutes and then again at 5:30pm for 45 minutes. We dressed him in new clothes and a new hat. We also were able to feed him dinner and give him a bottle. He seems to recognize us more and more after each visit. At firs he made no sounds whatsoever and now he is starting to make goo-goo gaa-gaa noises:) It sounds as if he is trying to talk to us. It is hard for us to contain our excitement. We also believe that he laid on his stomach for the first time today. The nurses say most babies, in this hospital, lay on their backs in their cribs. He was even able to push up with both arms. We will visit with him twice again tomorrow.

Well, I knew it wouldn't be long before Michelle changed his clothes and put some of her style on him! LOL:) What a cutie he is and we all can't wait to have him here for good!

Aunt Sandra

We have been waiting anxiouly for more good news from you. I think most of Laurinburg know about Igor and and are checking this site for updates. All our friends are rejoicing with us. Most who have seen the pictures say that he looks like you Reg. So many of them knew you when you were a baby.

What size does he wear now? Michelle and I will have to go on an Igor shopping spree when you get home.

All of us here at the office send you tons of love. May God bless you both and all your children and give you a safe trip home.

Much love,
Mom

I see you are already teaching him to do push-ups!!! So happy and excited for you both. He certainly looks like he could be your baby and by now I'm sure you feel he already is. Can't wait till you can bring him home and we can hold and love him too. We are already talking baby shower...I'll be shopping for a Jimmie Johnson t-shirt.Oh that is supposed to Tony Stewart. Love, Susie

Hey Reg and Michelle, Frank Buie here. I just saw your parents at the Ash Wednesday service at church and they told me about your trip. I did not realize that you had left. Angie and I are so happy for you. What a lucky little fella! It is amazing how much Igor looks like you Reg. We can't wait to see all of you at Ocean Isle this summer! Carson will be a year old on June 19th so we have to get together on the beach! Love Frank

May God Bless you all always!

Reg and Michelle...Can you get Igor to smile? I know that is something he probably has not done much of but I would love to see a picture of him smiling. I am so sorry that you can't bring him back with you this trip because he just won't understand that you are coming back to get him asap.

He looks so cute in his new sweater! I know it will be difficult for you to leave him over there but we just have to keep looking at the bright side.
Give him a big hug and kiss from Mommy Pat.

Your Dad and I are going to the beach today and will return tomorrow or Friday AM. It is supposed to be near 80 there tomorrow and he just has to go. We will take our laptop so we can check on your postings. Much love,Mom

Hey Mom and Harold!! I miss you bunches and can't wait til you come home.. Aunt Sandra has been awesome and not nearly as bad as you said she would be because she let me have a few parties here and there the place was trashed but NO WORRIES it will be clean by Saturday at 10:45PM! LOL.. jk!:) but really.. I miss you and can't wait for yall to be home. I can't wait to bring him home and pick on him like I do Logan, JK. I really think that we need to call him something else and dress him differently because he's too cute to be dressed that way and called Igor it sounds like eyore!:) haha.. I love him though, I showed him off today at school. Well I'll talk to you later! I love you and Justin says he loves yall and misses yall too!!

Love your beautiful daughter,
