Four Months

My baby is four months old!

Time really does fly. He's so big and heavy, and getting bigger and heavier by the day. He is a sweetheart, and I am more in love with him each day. What I really wanted to write about was my husband, though.

He is working so that I can stay home with the little guy. I want to stay home with him because I don't want to take him to a daycare where he can't speak for himself. My husband agrees with that. But that also means that we don't have an extra paycheck coming into our home. For my husband to be okay with that and take on my own bills means a lot to me. Not only does he work all day, but he comes home and spends time with our boy to give me a break. His job is emotionally and mentally draining, and he still makes a huge effort to help ME out. I know, I know, he needs as much time as possible with his son. And I know I need a break. Lord knows I do. But he could easily just come home and go to bed, because he wakes up so early. I am blessed to have a partner who recognizes the work I put in, and who provides for us so that I can stay home with my baby. He does so much for our family, and I am so happy and grateful to have him in my life. He means the world to me, and I couldn't imagine my life any differently. I love my family!

I love my boys!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

So far, being a mom is great. My little guy is growing and growing, and I love him so much. He's so funny, and he has such a strong personality already. I feel like I can see what he's going to be like when he's older. For example, I know he's going to be getting into everything when he starts crawling and walking, just because of how curious he is. Once he wakes up in the morning, he doesn't like to stay on his back. He wants to sit up so he can look around. But once he gets tired of sitting up, he wants to "stand" up. Of course, he can't stand on his own yet, so someone has to hold him in a standing position. But when he gets tired of that, he has to be held while the holder is standing up. Don't try to sit down! He knows the difference and will let you know. During all of this, he is looking around at everything.

He's also smiling and laughing a lot. It's so cute when he laughs! We love doing silly things just to make him laugh, even when we look ridiculous doing so. He will smile at anyone who smiles at him, and he's generally a happy baby. Like any other baby, he'll only really start getting grumpy and crying when he's hungry or really tired and needs a nap.

I'm so happy to be his mom!

My boy <3
