What Is It?

Can anyone guess the fun project we did today? It may have to do with a very fun excursion we had the other day.

Today You Are.....

Today is a big day. Today my baby is six months old. I am so in love. He is a gift from God. Perhaps not part of my plan but always a part of Gods plan for me. I am so thankful that we are his parents.






Today, you weigh 15 pounds and are 27 inches long. You are a skinny, tall little boy. You are happy and smiley. You love your brothers and they LOVE you. You also love to be in your jumper. Last night you started cereal, you loved it. We'll see if you start to "chunk" up now that you are eating, and perhaps get back on a good sleep schedule. Dr. W says you are perfect. We certainly think so too, except when you decide 4 am is a good time to wake up.

A "Time Flies" Moment

Tomorrow morning at 6:30 on the dot my baby will be SIX months old. I can hardly believe that it has been that long since I was in the hospital with him.

Thankfully, bed rest and labor seem ages away. And usually at this point I am already a few months into my next pregnancy, but not this time. That time for us has passed and it is bittersweet. I'm not sure if I could physically handle another pregnancy. Each of my pregnancies was quite a bit harder than the previous one. Also, I'm not sure if I could mentally handle the extra noise. Yikes, boys sure are noisy!

But this moment is sad. There is a finality of this stage of our lives. I am trying to soak in each moment. Because now we are in a season of lasts with our littlest one. With each "first" there is a "last".

Today was the first time my little one ate cereal. His first taste of anything but milk. His last day of getting nourishment exclusively from me. He loved his cereal. And boy was he mad when the bowl was empty. I am thankful that is has never been a struggle with my boys to eat baby food. Now, the task of making baby food!
