i'm back!

3 months and 1 baby later, I'm back! I'm a mommy now.  Let me tell you, what a joy! My husband and I are the proud parents of a sweet little baby boy.  Well, maybe not little, he is a hefty "little" guy.  He was almost 10 lbs at birth and he is 14lbs now (at 3 months).  We just love our little chunker.

 Being a mom is everything I expected and more.  It is also a little scary.  I'm a worry wart.  Now, our little guy is an incredibly mellow baby.  In 3 months he has maybe had a serious cry 3 times (not including when he had his shots). We were even able to take him on an airplane at 2 months and he didn't cry once on the 4 hour flight.  He is just not a fussy baby.  So those few times when he is fussy, I always think there is something seriously wrong.  Usually its just a case of needing a diaper change or he wants to be facing out.  As new parents, we learn. 

In 3 months, our boy has learned to smile, giggle, hold his head up, babble (he doesn't stop) and pick up toys (thats a recent one).  In 3 months my husband and I have learned to eat fast, duck when changing diapers and the pacifiers aren't as evil as we once thought. 

We are looking forward to the next years, and even bough a zoo pass for this year! 

3  cheers for parenting! More to come. Praise God for little ones!
