Yes, friends, it's September 17th today. This is crazy, because it reminds me that our little man is almost 5 months old. 5 months?? When did all of this time go by? It feels like yesterday that I had him, and he'll be running around before I can catch up with him growing up...but isn't that how it goes? :) I am just happy to say that I love my sweet little boy more than words can describe, and I also love his daddy, who is the love of my life. I'm a pretty lucky gal, wouldn't you say?
Today, my friend Bre and I had a yard sale, and we did pretty well. It was nice to get together and hang out. We plan to go shopping with the money we made. :) It will be a nice girls' treat. Tonight, Isaac and I went to grab a quick supper out, and got ice cream. Little man was so tired that we didn't stay long at all, and came right home. My poor sweetie always gets very tired around 7:30-8pm...and if we're out much past that, he will cry the whole way home. I think it's because I've gotten him on a bedtime schedule, so he knows it's bedtime. So, we made it home, changed and fed the little dude, and sent him off to bed. ;) Haha...sent him...more like carried his passed out little baby body into his crib where he crashed. :) I love this kid. He is now grabbing everything, chewing on everything, rolling over (both ways!) and making all kinds of noises. He can turn himself in a circle on his tummy, grab noses and glasses (this is something we are trying to avoid! lol) and just being an all around big boy. LOVE IT!
Lately, I've been pondering what I want to do with my life, and all I keep thinking of, day and night, is that I am made to be Baine's mommy...and take care of him all the time. If I'm away from him for a few hours, I miss him...and people can tell me over and over that you get used to it, but I don't want to "get used to it." If I am able to stay home with him full time for longer, I plan to, because I want to dedicate that time to him if I can. I LOVE being a mom...it's the best feeling in the world, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. God put it on my heart when I was very young that I was going to be a mother...and love every minute of it...and make it my job. My first job is to take care of my son and husband, and that job is very important to me. :) I love my guys...and I love being a full-time mom right now. Best decision I've ever made. I realize some moms cannot do this...but this is something we planned to do, and we have sacrificed things to be here...but it's all about how much you want something, and if we have to pinch pennies for awhile to live this way, so be it. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Well, those were just my thoughts for today. Our little family is doing great. We are staying busy, and just loving this beautiful weather. Thank you, Jesus, for all of Your blessings. We love you. :)
