I'm Head Over Heels!

I cannot explain the love I feel for this little man! If Travis is holding him and I am on the other side of the couch, I have to stop what I am doing to kiss him. I think I kiss this face over a million times a day. He's getting used to it and it even causes a smile! One day this will embarrass him so I have to get it all in while I can! What am I going to do with him!! I can't stand it I love him so much!!! Don't you just want to SQUEEZE HIM!!

One Month Old!

I really can't believe he's one month old today! Everyone told me it would go fast but when we were not sleeping and I had my hormone roller coaster, I thought, "yea right." Well, it is flying by and I am already getting sad about it. Just like all the other moms, I have to record what he's doing so I don't forget. I am NOT a scrapbooker (wish I was) so this will have to do.

• Eating
• Sleeping
• Pooping

• Haha.. also, he is holding his head up a lot on his own and then head butts you when he gets to tired of it.

• He smiled at me for the first time 4 days ago and I have gotten about a smile a day since then and when he smiles, my heart totally melts!

• He's been sleeping 4 straight hours from 10:00 to 2:00 ish, then he's up every two hours to eat after that. I am totally NOT complaining! Those four hours are amazing!

I'm still trying to figure out how I am supposed to keep up with my bathing/going to the bathroom/changing etc. and also take care of him. So please forgive my stinkiness, grown-out highlights, need to be painted toes, and baseball caps for another month or so until I get the hang of this.
Travis has been so great as a new dad! I am very impressed and am so thankful for him! I am so blessed and God knows this because I tell him each time I look at little tootie!

An Ice Covered Bridge

I hope Bonnie does not mind but I am so proud of her and her strength she has shown I want to brag on her. She has always been another mother to me and I am so thankful and proud she is my sister. I would not be where I am now in my relationship with God or with my amazing Christian husband if it weren't for her and her walk with God. She has always encouraged me to do what is right, even when we were little. When we were little we used to share a bedroom together and she would tell me every night to say my prayers. She has had God in her heart from the beginning and has always done what is right from the beginning. Even though she has had a huge tragedy, her faith is still strong. She is the most amazing person I know and I am so blessed to have her as my sister and best friend.

Please read her story that is posted in the Peekaboo Magazine and see what a talented writer she is!
