  It has once again been a few months since my last update. Since I haven’t been getting hounded, I guess you are all getting used to it.  🙂  Things have been going well for the Czepiga family since the last update.  We went on vacation to Myrtle Beach, which was Gregory’s first time. He enjoyed eating the sand and flirting with all of the pretty girls. Grandmom Czepiga and Judy joined us for the week.
  Gregory is now 11 months old. I can’t believe he is closing in on 1 year.  He has been taking a few steps on his own and will walk all over the place holding on to your hands.  He is making all kinds of funny noises and will zerbert his mother on her belly just to make her laugh. It’s very cute. Now if we could only get him to sleep until 6AM…
The newest pictures are under the Pictures link.

I have added a guestbook to the main links on the left.  Please take a moment to sign in and let us know you visited.

I know.  I know.  It’s been 3 months since the last update.  I have been getting very slack at updating this site.  There are new pictures from Christmas under the Baby Pictures link.  I am now using the gallery feature that comes with the hosting site to post them using thumbnails.  Let me know if you like it better than the old way. I have also added some pictures under the regular pictures link from New Year’s Eve.

    Gregory has been growing in leaps and bounds. He is now crawling and walking along tables and cabinets by holding onto them. Soon we won’t be able to keep up with him.

  Happy Holidays!!! Welcome to our new home. My Charter webpage was limited to 20MB. The new site has a 5GB limit. So I should be able to load a lot of pictures and videos before running out of space.
Not much to report right now. We have been busy with work, getting ready for Christmas, and keeping up with the bambino.
Gregory got pictures taken at daycare again. I have scanned them in and added them to the baby pictures page.  Our favorite one is above.  I forgot to scan in the ones they did a few months ago.  I will get those up soon.

First things first, I must apologize for the long delay between updates. Things have been very busy. I will try to do better in the future.

  A lot has happened in the last few months.  Andi has gotten hired on permanently at the company where she was temping. I got a promotion at work.  And Gregory has been growing like a weed and learning all sorts of things.
  He is now 5 months old. I’m not sure his exact weight, but he was 16.4 pounds at his 4 month appointment. The doctor told us to start him on baby food.  We have been experimenting with various veggies. On the movement front, he has started rolling over without assistance. We recently started him on a more regimented schedule for bedtime. Most of the time he goes down with minimal fussing, but we still get 30 minute crying episodes too. We aren’t really sure what we are supposed to do with a few hours of adult time in the evenings. 🙂
  There are some new pictures on the Baby Pictures page. This update has pushed me up to the limit on this website.  I have more pictures and stuff that I will upload as soon as I find more space.  That’s all for now.

    I have added a videos page with a great video of Gregory. The “Videos” link is beneath the “Baby Pictures” link in the menu on the left. I have also added some pictures to the “Baby Pictures” page. I may have to move this to somewhere with more space eventually. I think Charter limits me to 20MB.
We are doing well. Gregory had his first full night back in his crib last night. We were having to let him sleep with us while he was getting over being congested.  It was the only way any of us got any sleep.  🙂 Anyway, that’s all for now.

  Hello again and welcome to our newly redesigned site. There is lots of good news in this update. We found out that Gregory does not have colic, he has acid reflux. Now you are probably asking yourself how this is good news. Well, the doctor gave us a prescription for Zantac and our bouncing baby boy is so much happier now. He can lay down on his back comfortably and sit in his bouncy seat and swing. The doctor figured it out after Gregory started daycare. With laying down more during the day he started getting very congested. He is well on the way to recovery now. We are very thankful.
Andi is now employed again on a temp to hire basis with Ashmore Brothers Construction in Greer as their AP department. She started last week.

Hello again. Sorry for the long delay between updates. We have been busy with a little boy we lovingly refer to as “The Milk Monster.” 🙂 Andi and Gregory are doing well. And both Andi and I are a little closer to sanity than we were the first few days home from the hospital. Our little boy is growing like a weed. I have posted some of the pictures I have taken in the last few weeks under the “Baby Pictures” link.

We would like to announce the birth of Gregory Xander Czepiga!!! He was born on June 15th at 6:13 AM. His weight was 8 lbs and 5 oz and he was 20-1/2 inches long. Due to some complications with labor, he was delivered through a C-section. We spent a few more days in the hospital as a result. Mother and baby are doing very well. Everyone is happy and healthy. And when we get him to sleep for any appreciable length of time we will be VERY happy. 🙂

We would like to thank everyone who came to visit as well as all who called with well wishes. We would also like to thank the many doctors, nurses, et al at Greenville Memorial Hospital who helped us through the first days of parenthood. No matter how much preparation you do, it seems to catch you by surprise. We would also like to thank those friends who have been there with advice and help; and thank those of you in advance that we will probably inundate with questions. 🙂

I have placed some pictures from the hospital on the Baby Pictures page. I have pictures of the actual C-section, but will not post them. You can see them if/when you come to visit the latest addition to the Czepiga clan.

Well that’s all for now. I really should be sleeping…

A month between updates…that is sad. 🙂 We have been busy getting the nursery completed for the little bambino. And we finally have a middle name for him…Xander. So he will be Gregory Xander Czepiga. Someone mentioned that his names get harder to spell as they go. I have added pictures from the baby shower in April as well as the 7/8 month belly pictures
