My life is filled with blessings. I have a fabulous husband. I have 3 beautiful children. My house is a mess and
there are chickens in my backyard. What more could you want out of life?

My boy is 6...oh my!

 
My boy turned 6!!  For his class I made a giant cookie cake (I guess this is a tradition)....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I took him lunch on Friday.  He asked for a Wacky Pack from Sonic with a hamburger and tator tots!  He kept saying "Thanks for coming and eating lunch with me, Mom.  This is the best day!"  I love him.
 
 
 
 
 
Notice the shirt?  I made it for him for his Sea Creature Party!
 
 
 
I cannot believe what a wonderful, sensitive, smart young man he is growing up to be.  My life is blessed daily by him.  

But I'm not sure what's up with the weird smile!  Ha!

The Beast is 4 months old!

This child is such a joy!! I'm am really enjoying him (which works out really well). To say he is growing would be an understatement! Check out these pictures and then we'll talk.
 
 




These were Jack's stats from his 4 month appointment.
Weight: 16 lbs 13 inches 80%
Height: 25.5 inches 66%
Weight for length 78%
Head 70%
I told her he looks like a 6 month old. She said his size is average for a 6 month old! Yikes! I have a pinched nerve in my arm (most likely from carrying him around) that has caused my thumb and first two fingers on my right hand to be numb most of the time! We started solids early...a liquid diet just wasn't cutting it. Actually we started mostly due to his reflux, but he handled it so well we just went forward with it. As of today he's had rice, oatmeal, apples, banana, carrots, pumpkin, peas, broccoli, pear, peaches and prunes! He loves it! He can almost sit up, never stops kicking his legs and is constantly smiling. Love. Him. To. Pieces.
