January 4, 2011 – Week 17 Happy 4 month Birthday!

This week seems to have to flown by so quickly I don’t even know were to start. I feel like you are changing and growing fasted than I can keep up with you. If I had to choose just two things to write about this week I think they would be: One, you had a growth spurt. Over night you went from being a skinny bean to being a chunky baby, sausage fingers and all. Even your teacher made a comment today how over the long weekend you beefed up. Then my second favorite memory this week is something very simple but is probably in my top ten favorite moments so far. On Sunday we were both exhausted after the busy couple of weeks we had. After you ate, you just curled up next me on the couch and feel asleep with me. I was not holding you like I normally do; you were just lying next to me on the couch. I don’t think words could ever describe, the peacefulness that we were both experiencing.

December 28, 2010 – week 16

Merry Christmas Little boy! Your first Christmas was filled with lot of friends and family. You were the life of every party and every get together that we went to. You learned how to do raspberries and stick of your tongue this week and were very proud of your newfound talents. Of course every time you met someone new you had to show them your new trick and no one could resist you cuteness

You are such a wonderful, happy baby and I feel so lucky to be your mother. I always knew that I wanted to be a mom, but you have made it so much more special than I ever thought possible.

December 21, 2010 – week 15

You had your first visit with Santa this week. As always you were a great happy baby.  We have had some pretty big rainstorm come through town this week. On Saturday morning you were in bed with us for your morning feeding. The rain was coming down really hard and could be heard on the roof top. You were so amazed by it that you stopped eating and spent five minutes just staring up at the ceiling. You reminded me that something as simple as the rain is new to you.

December 14, 2010 week 14

Fourteen weeks ago I was worried that I would run out of ideas to write or take photos of, yet just the opposite is true. I had in mind a whole series of photo shoots for the month of December and here we are not even 2 weeks in and you do something so cool we have to catch it! Earlier this week I placed you in your crib to do some tummy time 5 minutes later I walk back into your room and some how you were on your back! You have yet to do it again, but I am keeping my eyes open. Ever since I told your daddy he has been working with you to roll over. So last night when we were cooking dinner it surprised me to see you reaching for a toy that was on the other side of you. Twisting you body to do so all signs that you are getting bigger and stronger. You amaze your dad and I every day we are having so much fun watching you grow and explore your newfound tricks. For example you have found new tones and coo’s that you love to show off every chance you get. A lot of times we will find you singing to your self or the dog. Keeping growing baby boy we love you.

December 7, 2010 week 13

The count to down to your first Christmas has begun! Right now you have yet to figure out what Christmas is all about but I have to say I am so excited. All I can keep thinking about is showing you all of our family traditions and creating new ones with you. We started off December with a trip to pick out our Christmas tree you were very happy all bundled up. You started day care last week,  I missed you so much on the first day that I left work early to come and get you. Your teachers gave you lots of love the first day and by the second day you were talking up a storm and showing off your winning smile.  You got your first cold this week, but you really have been a trooper and I hope you feel better soon.

November 13, 2010 - Week 12

The season has started for all your first holiday, here is a photo of you at your first Thanksgiving. While we were all eating yummy food you sat next to us and played like a really good boy in Grandma-ma's activity center. You had trouble reaching some of the toys but later in the week when we went over for some home made Turkey soup you had started to figure how to move the toys. On Saturday we saw you cousin Lane, we laid both of you down next to each other and she started to beat you up. You took it like a man and let her get away with it, just like you always will. Cause know matter what she is family and you will always protect her.

11/23/2010 - Week 11

Big Boy sleeping in your big boy bed. I never thought I would put you to sleep in your crib this young. I found that you actually slept a lot better in your own room in your own crib and who am I to stand between a baby and his sleep. For the last two and half month your Daddy and I have been learning your cries so we know how to answer your needs and wants. Earlier this week you scared us when you let out a cry that we had never heard before, we have started to call it your "Big Boy cry". I am starting to realize that the time I have with you is so precious and will go by way to quick. I promise to always love you and enjoy every moment that I get to share with you.
