Spring

We love the weather this week... it is gorgeous, warm enough to be outside and beautiful for family pictures! Jed is now almost 4 1/2 months old and willing to share a smile or two for the camera!

A Happy Boy...

Jed has started giggling just a bit... but his biggest joy in life is talking away!!! Today we went to the doctors office for our 4 month appointment... and shots. Jed weighed in at 15 lb 14 oz, is 24 inches tall, and has a giant head at 43cm which is a jump from 50% to 75%, way to go on the brain development!

Mr. Jed

One of our favorite times of the day is when Jed takes a bath. He is SOOO animated, kicking and splashing everywhere! We were bathing him on our bathroom counter and soon had to place his bath tub into the real bath tub in his bathroom because he was getting everything too wet, he would splash 3 feet up the mirror and all over the floor... it was everywhere!

We have had the best time with little Jed. Like most parents, I find myself wondering what life was like before he was around. He, despite being a bit early (and not knowing if he would be developmentally delayed) has caught up so fast! He is lifting his head so well now, babbling a ton and he even likes standing while we balance him.

We are so grateful to have such wonderful moms... I work 2 days a week and Jed gets to hang out with each grandma one day a week. Hopefully they have as much fun as Jed does... all I know is that he sleeps really well after being with them! And, what's better, with iPhones, I get videos and pictures all day while I am at work, which keeps me going. My mom took this great picture of him smiling. I showed everyone at work (even patients!)!

Jed Rolling Over

Here is a video of Jed that I took yesterday. He rolled over all by himself! I had my phone in hand and was able to catch the second half of his roll... LUCKY!!! Jed was so sweet and showed off to daddy when he got home as well so he didn't feel too out of the loop! I can't believe how fast he is growing!

Baby Austin

We are sooooo excited about Jed's new cousin Austin James Smittcamp!!! He was born on Sunday, February 27th in the evening... We didn't know if Cherie was having a boy or a girl so when we found out it was a boy we were SOOOOO excited for Jed!!! We are already praying that they will be best buddies!

Girls...Pizza... FUN!!!

A few weeks ago we had a pizza party with the small group that I am in. It was such a great time... we talked, laughed and made pizza. In our life group we are reading the book "Grace Based Parenting" by Dr. Tim Kimmel and it is fantastic. It has helped me process so much about the next stage of my life! I love this group of girls!... and I am so glad that my sister in law, Cherie decided to "sign up"!
