rolling, rolling, rolling lots. Sleeping a solid 10 hours a night (YES!)
Smiling and giggling more and more.
Just started grabbing his feet and putting them in his mouth (Yum??)
Got his first cold (so sad. Colds never seemed like a big deal until you have an infant who can’t blow his own nose and has a hard time eating because he can’t breathe out of his little nose. I knew that day would come and all the sudden I was like “how do I treat a cold?” The boogie getter-outer (okay, I know it’s not the real name – aspirator for those of you who like that name better) IS NOT fun...and it’s hard to use. I feel like I spend a good 2 minutes trying to position his ever-moving head just right so I don’t shove the blue thing too far up his nose, yet far enough that I can actually get the snot out and not have to continue torturing my baby! He screams when I get anywhere near his nose. Saline solution is a little better...although I think I’ve gotten the same amount of quirts all over his face/in his eyes as I’ve gotten actually up his nose – good thing it doesn’t hurt his eyes. Whew...I do look forward to when I can just put a tissue around his nose and say “blow!”....okay, it’ll be nice when he can just do it all himself, right? Haha.
I joined a ministry called NEST at my church for moms with young kids and it’s great! I’m creating a mommy mission statement! That may sound weird, but it’s true that mommyhood can just fly by and I want to be intentional with each of my days..plus it helps me find joy and great purpose in my job as MOM. Will post when I finish.
I am LOVING this season of life – I know I’ve said it in every post, but I know that there will come a day when I might not love “this season” and I want to remember this to help carry me through that season. Jack is my treasure and I’m honored that God chose me to be his mommy. I love it...I love it all...all that comes with it.
.......Even the boogie-getter-outer screaming moments. I’m thankful.
