It just keeps gettin better


Cristi my sister in law is pretty much amazing.
it happened. just as i knew it would. once mr G came- majority if not all the blogs would be about him, AND i wouldnt be blogging every day-(lucky for all you readers out there....) like i did when i was working (and had absolutely nothing to do). the only thing that has changed is that i am at home now- with nothing really to do. honestly changing diapers and feeding him just doesnt take the whole day. however i am trying to figure out my place in this world, and wondering how in the world women go grocery shopping, and do simple everyday tasks without taking all day long-i take lots of naps, and i feel like i waste a lot of time doing a whole lot of G watching. i swear i could watch this little man all day and not get bored. he makes me laugh with his sweet little personality and awesome facial expressions. the hormones im sure dont help- but this little boy melts my heart-bringing me to tears on occasion. i am so overwhelmed with the love i have for him and am so grateful he is here safe and sound, healthy and happy... and SO chill! he is the coolest kid i know by far. no not biast at all. but seriously. honestly who falls asleep during his bath time? or gives a good shriek for no reason and then passes out? he sticks his feet straight out and crosses his ankles when he's eating- ah love it.
right now i have- few reasons to cry, plenty of things to smile about, a couple things to worry about, yet SO MUCH to be grateful for. Life really is good. Heavenly Father loves us and He will watch over us and protect us. Things are supposed to be hard, so that we can grow. G only loves his tummy time for about 5 push ups. Then he gets frustrated because his little neck gets tired- and just gives out a little cry saying-"Mommy this is hard. can you help me?" So i give him a little lift and he goes at it again.....When life is hard, and i wanna cry, i say the same thing- only to a different parent, and just as i love this little one, He loves me and is there to help me through my tough tummy times. I love the gospel and the knowledge i have. yeah this is kinda a random post- im just sayin is all.
