Jon James: Four Months

Jon James: Four Months

Everywhere you look,
Everywhere you go
There’s a heart
A hand to hold onto.

As the perceived time between these monthly updates shortens Sof and I couldn't be more excited about what lies ahead for us this year. So far we have a very happy and healthy boy with incredible support from our friends and family; unbelievably Jon James is already for months old! 

We loved seeing everyone around the holidays and it was a very special Christmas this year for more than one reason. Our first New Years as a family and we were in bed before the ball drop! Thank you to everyone for your generous gifts we are spoiled in many ways!

Right now we have little 1 hour windows between his naps and while we're able to squeeze in a lot of activity and a few date nights, we know there's still people to visit and we are right on the brink of having longer periods where he is awake so we will be seeing you soon!


Thank you to my Mom for having these incredible pillows made for the three of us this Christmas as special reminder of my Dad. (click to enlarge)

Jon James: Three Months

We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.

I don't think parents every really know what they are doing. It's really just trial and error. And who knows what parents did before the Internet! In my google search you'll find things like, "baby won't sleep in crib" "baby white spots on gums" "3 month old WALKING?!" "Parenting 101" 
No one really has the answers, not even the Internet, mostly it's a bunch of conflicting threads that say, "oh ya my LO had that, totally normal." Or "sounds like it's dangerous I would go to your pediatrician right now." P.s. LO stands for little one, took Jon and I days to figure that out. Basically what I'm trying to say is, we sure don't know what we are doing but we are having the time of our lives. I mean just look at him. How can we not be totally head over heels in love?

So far so good. "Eat, sleep, repeat.
