Bumbo- the world's greatest invention!

This little man is getting so BIG! When he sits in his bumbo you can't find his diaper or his belly button! I love a chubby baby!

2 Months

JD is growing up so fast. He rolled over once the other day for his dad. He is also demanding more attention (his dad says that's becuase he's like his mother!) and loves to play.

2 Month Checkup

Everyday I think that JD looks more and more like his father. JD also just found his hands and fingers. He sucks on his fist and looks at his fingers. He loves to coo and smile. He will stick out his tongue and watch you waiting for you to do the same thing. I love it! He doesn't really like tummy time but he has figured out the he can lay his head to the side so that he doesn't have to have his head held up the whole time.

Yesterday JD had his 2 month well baby check up! He now weighs 14 lbs. 13oz. and is 24 and a hlaf inches long. His cousin Drewm who is 2 months older, went to the drs. about 2 weeks ago and was 15 lbs. 1oz and 24 and a half inches. So JD is trying to pass his cousin in size. He definitely loves his momma's milk!!!

Jeremy had to take this picture since this Saturday he does his final flight stage check. If he passes this one (which he will no doubt) then all he will need is to pass a test and flight with an FAA examiner and he will finally have his Private Pilot License. Whoo hoo!!! We are very proud of JD's daddy.

Motherhood

I love being a mother. I used to love being an aunt because I could always give the crying baby back to it's mom. I thought that being a mom in that instant would not be fun since, when around family, everyone holds the baby until the baby is screaming. But I find now that I LOVE it when someone else is holding my baby and the baby gets fussy, because I am the mother and JD feels comfort from me and calms down when I have him. It is amazing the connection that mothers have with their babies. Now I know why I am so close with my mom. Jeremy's favorite scripture that he has on his missionary plaque is Alma 56:47-48

"47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.

48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it."

I just hope that I can teach JD all that he needs to know amd all that my parents taught me.

2 weeks Pictures

I figured out how to scan pictures all by myself. JD can lift his head when on his tummy. He now smiles and it is so cute. I love playing with him and seeing his big smile. He also is starting to get some really cute rolls!!! I am definitely not starving him!

6 weeks old

I love it when he smiles!!!! So "tute".

He is Captain Adorable!!!

I misplaced my camera for a week, so I am trying to take lots of pictures to make up for it. If Jeremy will help me, I want to scan in his two week old pictures. JD is a great nurser now and I am glad we stuck it through to make it work. He's my little milk monkey! Although sometimes he is a milk monster!!!
