Mommyhood

I love being a mom. I feel like I don't need to explain that too much, but I really do. Amidst the extra laundry, endless bottle washing and pumping (TMI? Too bad..), struggle to fit in housecleaning and keeping up with friends, and current season of not taking J out in public, I am still just loving it. It's amazing to watch Baby J grow every day. It seems like every day he talks more, kicks more, grabs more, and everything.. he just interacts more! He's laying on the floor with Matt right now and they are "talking". He's so vocal and personable. I can't wait to see what kind of man he'll grow up to be! Scratch that. I can wait. But I look do look forward to it. :)

Today is Baby J's 4 month mark! Here's his pic!

He has had a few "stalling points" in his weight gain this month, but he is still healthy and happy! Lately he won't finish his bottles which is stressing us out, but such is life. We have learned to be joyful in the valleys and on the mountaintops. God is good to us and we are loving this beautiful boy He's given us!
Here are the things he loves to do:
-stand while we hold him
-show us how strong his neck is by curling forward and holding up his head
-"talk" to us... I wish I knew what he was saying!
-reach out and touch his toys and our faces (leaves scratches behind when his nails are too long!)
-kick (as always!), or as we call it, run!
-watch Scout and smile at him
Baby J, you truly are a joy and the light of our lives!

And, because I can't help it, a video of him in action!

Happy New Year everyone, here's to a 2011 where we slow down to enjoy life before it passes us by!
