AND growing growing growing ....He is talking a lot (coo's and ca's) and he is putting toys in his mouth and reaching/grabbing for things!
Lately, the life of a new Mommy included changing a dirty messy diaper and outfit explosion at the hair salon with foils in my hair
no sleep
tons of kisses
lots of messes
but LOTS of love....
I am so in love with my baby boy and count my blessing every day....now if I could only catch a little shut eye!
RJ loves his brother and sister when they are home and pay attention to him! They are so busy with soccer, dance, school and friends!! We are basically here for them to support them, feed them, do their laundry, sign homework, grocery shop and take them to their appointments and scheduled events like dance and soccer...otherwise , they are their own little people at this point...(with lots of rules to follow....they aren't so sure they like the rules as they're getting bigger...but who did?! ) Parenting as I say is the greatest gift and the biggest challenge.
Luciana comes to visit us this week. She holds a special place in our heart as she was there for Dave and the kids as their Nanny through a big life changing transition over 6 years ago. When I began dating Dave and met Luc, we became close friends and we consider her family! We look forward to seeing her again (She came to PDX 2 years ago) and her meeting RJ will be very special....We are thrilled she is coming.
