Busy Being Blessed

One of the Hardest Decisons of My Life. *added link*

i took jamin to the picture people yesterday for his 6 month portraits (late, but he’s still officially 6 mos old lol). a friend from our local mom’s group took the shots.so why the hard decision? she was too good and jamin was too cute. his eyes were a little puffy from being tired – if he’d been any more awake i don’t think i would have been able to pick.

i got four pics, but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to choose. these are the ones i picked. the others should be online by the end of the day for me to show you.

Jumping Jamin!

i just had to share my cutie pie – i can’t believe he’s almost 7 mos already. jamin was trying out the jumperoo today. he loved it!






and here’s a video of it…

i wanted to wish my little nephew cooper a happy one month birthday today!! hard to believe! i also want to wish my cousin’s daughter isabel a happy four year birthday today!

jeremiah is REALLY into drawing lately. he loves working on letters and drawing. his newest favorite thing to draw is faces. they are too cute. we have like 20 of them on my desk right now. *lol* i need to scan them or take pics or something. he’s too cute. so proud of his work. poor josiah wants to do the same thing as his big brother, but he’s only two and a half, so of course it’s not going to look the same.

my boys are all so special. they each have the certain sparkle about them that makes them 100% unique, perfect and wonderful. i wouldn’t change anything about each of them, and i find them more amazing each and every day. i’m so very thankful to the Lord for blessing me with my four men. how could i ever ask for more?

i truly have some wonderful, sweet guys. i am so blessed. *sigh*

Jamin :: 6 Weeks Old!

i for one cannot believe my sweet little star is 6 weeks old. how can this be??

at our wic appointment on monday, he was 8lbs 1 1/2oz and 21in long. she said she never gets the same length as peds do, so i’ll assume he’s at least a bit longer than that! she is pleased with how much he gained since his 4 week weight w/ the lactation consultant.

jamin is doing much better with not needing me to nurse him ALL.THE.TIME now. i have a groove going with the supplements, and he is doing great. i am also pumping which is nice – thanks amanda for the pump!!

jamin is so sweet and so adorable. he isn’t focusing on us as well as i’d like him to. and he doesn’t smile very often. his smile is SOOO sweet tho.

once again i don’t have a ton of time to post…i promise, sweet jamin, i will post a lot soon! i love you so much little baby boy!!

but here are some pics of him, taken today, for all of you who keep begging me. :P

and yes, precious boy has some baby acne right now. :(

Christmas Portraits, 2006

well we went to picture people to have our Christmas pic taken…. the lady didn’t try to make the kids smile, so jerry and i tried… josiah still wouldn’t smile because we had waited too long. and jeremiah didn’t seem a part of the family because he was out so far. so i fixed all that. ;) i love photoshop. :D
Â?
oh, and when i put my headband on today, jeremiah was staring at me. finally, he said “your ribbon is so pretty, mama!” he kept saying things over and over again. “i really like your ribbon, mama.” “pretty ribbon, mama.” LOL. what a doll!Â?

Of Pee and Pictures

of pee, you say? yes. we are breaking down and letting jeremiah potty train.
the other night, he pulled off a totally dry diaper and promptly peed on the floor. i brought out the potty, and told him when he needs to go pee-pee, he needs to tell me. he repeated ‘pee-pee’ very well, but he still won’t tell me when he needs to pee. he will pee in his diaper, then go sit on the potty. lol. but it is hilarious when he’s actually trying to pee – because he REALLY is trying to pee. he will push his belly in and out, and make noises (um i think he’s heard me constipated a few too many times LOL) and just try with all his might to get some pee out. so far, nothing. but i have told him we will have a grand hooray party when he gets his first dribble in the potty! :D
i really didn’t want to start potty training until after josiah was born, as usually kids regress when a new child comes along. but since it’s HIS decision more than ours, i figured it should be fine. and we aren’t rushing him or pushing him with it; we’re just seeing how it goes.

you will be happy to know i’m working on the gallery! woohoo! you will soon be able to view tons of pics, all on this site! :D i’m hoping it will be worth the effort. and hopefully this will be the LAST gallery script we have to work with! we have been through so many, and i am so tired of uploading pictures!

i am soooo uncomfortable. it had to be 100 degrees yesterday. and the humidity – ugh! i’m glad i can just stay inside with the a/c on full blast. i wish we could go outside and play, but i’m not risking jeremiah or me having heat stroke! i am also uncomfortable with all the pressure and pain. i really can’t walk around much. my leg joints really hurt, and all over down there is just sooooo sore. :( but it won’t be long, people! it won’t be long!

i’m really wondering if jeremiah is hitting some sort of pre-terrible twos thing. or if he’s just not feeling well. he has always been strong-willed, but lately he’s been throwing fits and disobeying more. :( a lot of it i wonder if he’s just realizing that a major life change is about to happen. or maybe he senses that i am unable to handle him as well and is taking advantage of that. i don’t know, but even tho i’m not feeling well, i’ve been working on cracking down harder on discipline to make sure he doesn’t think rules don’t apply any more.

anyway i am going to work on the gallery some more! hugs and God bless!!!
