Cereal

Hello! Our Jack is almost 6 months old now and I finally gave into the feeling that he was ready to try cereal. We gave it a whirl yesterday and he did, as I had anticipated, very well. It was more of a big deal for me than for him. I guess that will be true of a lot of things in his life. I've also given him a haircut a few weeks ago, and I think it looks smashing. He is quite the active little guy and he is rolling all over the place. I feel like crawling is just around the corner. Seeing him experience life and enjoy most of it makes me enjoy everything more and more. I've found myself being so thankful that I've been able to work part-time and spend such a great deal of time with him. It is truly such a blessing. I especially treasure our mornings together. We usually wake-up together and we sing or talk or just smile at eachother for some time before we decide to start our day. Auntie Kelsey has motivated me to get myself into the gym more often. It seems as if we have finally connected with eachother. Growing up we weren't the best of friends, and I always wondered when we would be friends. I guess it just took us to go through the process of bringing Jack into the world. She is amazing. We are working out 2-3 times a week. I've began to see some results already, but this sweet tooth I've acquired isn't helping at all. Oh well, 9 months on & 9 months off. I've just been so thankful for everything we've been given. Im trying to learn from my patients at the hospital when they talk about taking the little things for granted. Im trying to appreciate the small things, the daily blessings that often go unnoticed. Im just so thankful.
