It's been just over a month since our last post and it's been a month of March Madness. Not the basketball kind, mind you (although Bill has been keeping tabs on his brackets) but the madness that comes with a new routine.
Our routine of all three of us getting up early, Daddy getting early snuggles with Jake while I get ready for work, leaving before the sun is up, and getting very acclimated with our new best friends Emily, Mike, Wolfie, and Gabe. Emily is Jake's sitter and she is FANTASTIC! While I thought going back to work was going to be the hardest thing in the world, it's been an easy transition. Gabe is Jake's new playmate. He's about 10 months old (6 months older than Jake) and loves having someone his age to play with at home! We feel so grateful to have the Krills in our life!
Amongst that new routine is a relaxing day on Thursdays. That's the day Nana comes to take care of Jake. Not sure who loves this more -- Nana for the snuggle time, Jake for the extra lovin', or me for the slower start to the day! It's been a real treat, that's for sure!
We have now passed Jake's 4-month mark. He is coming in at the following percentiles: 47% for head size, 30% for length, and 3% for weight. He is definitely my little peanut! The doctor does not have any concerns though, which is great. We also have the go ahead to start solids whenever we choose. Jake has shown us he's interested in foods by taking two chunks out of Daddy's apple last week. Yikes! :)
As I look back over the last month, I cannot believe how much he has changed once again. Just this morning we were playing and to see him hold toys on his own, turn them, admire them -- it's just so fasacinating. A new favorite show of mine is "One Born Every Minute" on Lifetime. Each episode follows three women through labor and delivery. Each delivery is a success -- another miracle of God's. And each day we have the opportunity to watch our little miracle do something new and exciting! Life is good!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
