4 months!

My baby is 4 months old! I know eventually I will have to stop counting time by his months, but for now they seem like such a big deal to me. The other day i had the privilage of meeting my cousins new baby girl (still not sure what relation the baby is to me. Second cousin? cousin once removed?) and I hadnt realized how much Jude had grown. Holding the little six day old girl and remembering how small and fragile they are at that age made me realize how true it is that time goes by so fast with your children. I can only imagine what it will feel like to be remembering Jude as a newborn in another 20 years or so.

Things I love aboug having a 4 month old:

• I love hearing his little giggle
• I love that he recognizing me when I come in to the room and gives me a big smile
• I love that I am starting to see a bit of personality coming out
• I love how cuddly he is while nursing
• I love watching him try so hard to use his hands to grab things

Things i didnt not expect about have a 4 month old:

• I did not expect that he would be teething so soon
• I did not expect to be losing SO MUCH hair
• I did not expect to be so worried about him all the time
• I did not expect to still (how do I say this in a not gross way) be crying whenever I went to the bathroom

Regardless of what I did or didnt expect, I'm pretty happy with our little family and to be able to celebrate Tylers first fathers day! He is so good with Jude and has taken on the role of being our provider. I am so blessed to have Tyler as my husband and the father of my child. Happy fathers day Ty!
