Everyone told me after I had a baby that "those first 3 months are the hardest!!" "You just gotta get through those first 3 months!" "Those first 3 months are a doozy!" Well - the 3 months have came and went and I can hardly believe it, and now I have a happy, energetic, smiling 3 month old little boy. And all the advice-givers were right - it was a rough time but - WE made it and survived! The hardest part is over! Hurrah! Here is Jerex in his new REI sun hat:
Jerex is a growing boy. When he's hungry, he acts like a little spastic wolverine. Today at one point he consumed 7 ounces in a single feeding, which is not quite double what he normally eats, but wow, I can hardly keep up with that!
Last week was my first week back at work. It was difficult but I made it through and was even somewhat productive, and this week is already much easier. My brain in fact does work still, thankfully. It is a matter of getting in a new routine and we'll get the hang of it soon. Since I work from home, it is great to be able to take breaks and walk into the living room and see this smiling and drooly face:
Jerex has been rolling over both ways, grabbing toys, cooing/talking/giggling regularly, and being generally awesome at being a baby! Every day I feel so incredibly blessed!
This year, the Easter Bunny found us, and he wears blue pajamas:
Enjoying Springtime in Colorado, hoping that the 80 degree days stay away for a little while at least!
