Time flies when you're having fun.

That was then...



This is now...


I can't believe my baby boy is 5 months already. He is so much fun. JT and I couldn't be prouder or more blessed. He is a beautiful boy. He is full of personality. He's discovering his voice - that it can create sounds that go up and down, that can have different "textures", and (my favorite) that it can be loud and soft... especially loud! He's discovering new ways to move his body - trying really hard to roll, but there's more grunting than rolling that happens! I love it when I'm holding him upright and he lifts his head up high and raises his eyebrows, looking around at all he can see and observe. He is just so cute, you could eat him up.

I also love that nothing phases him. Well, okay, there's the obvious - lack of sleep, or wanting to eat (now!), or needing a poopy diaper change. But otherwise, he is happy. JT or I could be stressed about work, or our house being a wreck, or our yard needing some major landscaping. But he is completely unphased and content. Politics is of no concern to him. He is unconcerned also with what people think about his hair (which is finally growing in - except for the patch on the back that has been rubbed off.) He really doesn't care what he's wearing, or how many times he's spit up on it. A big smile offered is met with an even bigger, brighter smile in return - that is the only requirement. There are no other expectations. Oh, to know that simplicity. Oh, to have that contentment in my own heart and life. BP, you inspire me.

This time last year, we were announcing to our parents that we were pregnant. What a joyous time that was. What a wonderful memory. Time really does FLY when you're having fun!
