Jurrastic Period for 4 months old

I am really loving this stage in Jackson's life. New things are happening everyday for him.
Currently, his cry has changed from a baby cry to either a baby dinosaur or a boy reaching puberty. Hard to explain, but it sounds like he is loosing his voice.....or actually gaining his voice!
He is happy now all day, except when he is hungry or ready for a nap.(what human doesn't get cranky?!?)
He is almost constantly sleeping through the night. Yay for sleep...mommy is a better mommy! No rice cereal or baby food. He is not ready. He is nursing much better and I am drinking more water to aid in the effort.
My favorite time is watching him eat. He rubs his head and hair like a newspaper editor told him to redo his article for the deadline in an hour. So intense and passionate. He also grabs my shirt which cracks me up.
I love his gummy smile. It is my goal to make him laugh and smile just to see the joy in his face!
He is 15.8 lbs and I have held him while working out. That is a workout in itself. Squats are the best!
I am almost back to pre- pregnancy weight, but my body shape has changed....darn, I have to
get new clothes! Hehehe
The Lord has taught me a lot about perseverance,faith, trust, and patience. I think that when I go back to teaching I will be much more patient! :)

Well, playtime is about to start, so I must go.

A proud mommy of a sweet miracle from the Lord,
Laura

Dentist

I hate going to the dentist. Not because of my bad teeth,(cavity free) but because the way my mouth feels afterwards. Thanks, mom, for watching Jack while I go....not sure what he could have done during the rinsing and spitting session......session is at 10 AM. I will let ya know how it goes.

Pinterest is my friend.

Enough said.

Home, Home, in LaGrange

Tomorrow we will be heading back down to the house. I look forward to my home. My stuff. My bed. My couch. Ahhhh....

My good friend, Tiffani, just gave me four iron chairs to go on my front porch. They are beautiful! I just have to paint and recover them, but I am up for the challenge! All I need is a table to go with them! Love them!

2 girls night out and a playmate for mommy (not really for Jack) was so good for my soul. I feel more energized to be a mommy again.
