I am not a blogger. This poor blog has seen ramblings, picture posts and “stuff.” I suppose I am glad WordPress doesn’t get rid of it! I always thought I would blog my pregnancy journey. That didn’t happen. I thought I would blog my birth story. That didn’t happen. I thought I would blog my child’s firsts. That hasn’t happened…. Yet. Wellll..we are about 5 months in.. Better late than never? Not to say I haven’t recorded milestones- I have. My phone, camera and computer can testify to the truth behind that statement. Perhaps I will post less on Facebook and more here. Here where people read because they want to, not because it’s on a feed they mindlessly scroll. We will see, I always have the best of intentions
Right now our sweet child is 4 months and 29 days old. Having a baby born on December 1st is cool because this first year his age follows the calendar exactly. I can’t believe how fast the time truly has gone by. It was hard to think it would fly by in the beginning, but now it is! He has enriched and blessed our lives in countless ways.
To update:
He loves rolling back to front, but can’t roll front to back. He digs his face and screams yells to be rolled back when he is done with tummy time
His legs have the motion to crawl. Thank the Lord he lacks the upper body strength to do so. In due time…
He is figuring out his voice changes when he moves his tongue to talk- which he loves to do and intently watches our mouths when we speak
His feet are his favorite chew toy, one toe at a time does not suffice
Bath time continues to trump all activities with his jump-a-roo closing in on becoming his favorite thing
He has started to reach for things and grab them or people he wants (and melts our hearts when we are what he wants) and has taken an interest in grabbing peoples faces
He stares at the dog as if waiting for Cooper to talk to him too
He is practicing sitting up and can even do it himself for a few seconds at a time
Still sleeping 7-9 hours at night before eating and going to sleep for another 2-3 hours 
Two teeth are camping out beneath the gum line and have been for weeks now, making him Capt. Drool
Well. That is all for now – hopefully it’ll be a couple days for me to update again, not another year!
Be blessed!
