Wow it has been 4 months since my last post. And what a ride it has been since then.
Well I don't know where to start. This may be a little random.
Amos is now 4 months old. The time has really flown!!! He is rolling over front to back (Nov. 7) and back to front (Jan. 15), but he can only roll one way at a time he can not figure out how to get back. I guess he just has a one track mind. I think he is trying to get his first tooth. There is a bump on his lower gums and he is drooling.....a lot. We were having trouble with him waking every 3 hours at bight after having a good stretch of at least 6 hour nights. No I think he is getting back on track. He is trying to sit up, crawl stand, and talk. He seems to forget he is still a little guy and he was a preemie. He is growing like a weed and i wish I can pause it just for a little bit. He is not a cuddlier, he likes to observe everything around him. He doesn't like to be rocked, just lay him down lock his hands to his side, wrap him up give him his binki and he is good to go. He only uses his binki when sleeping, so we don't have to worry about that as he gets older. He tries to explore everything around him and experience new things. We think he is going to be a dare-devil. Not a day goes by that he doesn't hear "If you do that your going to fall on your head". He has the sweetest smile and the cutest laugh. I have enjoyed watching him grow and loved teaching and playing with him. He is a content little guy and is a joy and blessing.
As for me. I am great. Need about a year to catch up on sleep but great. I started a diet
Jan. 13. No bread starches or sugar. I have lost 3.6 pounds. I weigh myself on Sundays so tomorrow we will see how much more I have gone down. Some days are harder than others and some days I feel like I am starving. I just take a handfull of nuts or grad a cheese stick and make it to the next day to do it over again. John tries not to eat the "bad" things when home and he has lost 8 pounds or so (which is not good, I don't want him to get sugar problems again).
We are going to be starting from seeds and growing a garden this summer. I really want a BIG pumpkin patch. Amos will be 1 or almost there and there are several young children in the congregation in StJ and OG. It would be a lot of fun for every one I think.
Well I warned you its random but here you have it a review of the past 4 months in the house of Crites.
