year in review

Oh boy, what a years it's been! Ever since July 15 this year has flown by. It's hard to believe that was almost 6 months ago. It's hard to believe that I'm a mother of a healthy, beautiful baby boy. I couldn't be happier and couldn't ask for more (except for just a little more sleep). He's always smiling and always happy, what a blessing he is! Josh and I have the perfect family and I'm so thankful for it everyday! I can't wait to see what the new year brings. We've got so many milestones coming up... crawling, walking, talking (real words). I can't wait to experience it all!

Over the past 5 1/2 months we survived colic, learned to roll over, smiled, danced to MJ, laughed, started 'swimming' and finger painting, sang along with Tiny Tim, started sitting up and we're soooooo close to crawling! I'd say we're doing great so far!

Merry Christmas!

Jack Plays Peekaboo with Mommy!

He was controlling the blanket all by himself!

December 15 -5 Months Old

Peepee

Jack woke up crying this morning around 7am. I went to check on him and he was soaked. He had peed through his diaper, swaddle blanket, regular blanket and sheets. He even got Mr. Bunny a little damp. He wears a size 2-3 diaper but I put him in size 3 for bedtime because he can blast right through the 2-3. Well, apparently he can now blast through the 3s! Time to try 4, I suppose! Without hesitation I brought him downstairs and plopped him right in the bathtub. I scrubbed him down, dried him off and dressed him. He fell asleep soon after that, around 8 and has been sleeping for the last 2 hours :(. I miss him. This is the time we're supposed to play together, but I don't want to wake him, he needs all the sleep he can get.

GREAT NEWS! Monday I start back on first shift!! It's going to be a big adjustment because I have to be at work for 6:30 but I think it will be well worth it. Josh, Jack and I can actually be a normal family again. I'll get to spend more time with both of them... I can't wait!
And I'm hoping that when I pick him up in Rochester 2 days a week I can swing over to visit Jaime and my little nephew more! Jaime, I hope that's okay! :)
