5 months old!

Today Truett is 5 months old, he's 21.5 weeks old. He is so verbal and is so much fun! I say this all the time but I can't help myself, mommy hood is the hardest thing I've ever done and the


most rewarding.
I have Christmas morning every morning and the challenges of a baby waking up in the middle of his nap or fussing for no reason at all or trying to figure out what he could possibly be fussing about is all in a day's work. Sometimes when people ask me what am I doing now and I reply "THIS!" I can't imagine anyone being able to do anything but this! I know it has it's ups and downs and sometimes I wish I were working just to get a little break, I think about this child growing up without the guidance of my unconditional love and help and know that I'm exactly in the place I'm meant to be. There is no job in the world worth it. I know this calling of "mommy hood" is a high calling and I intend to take it with the highest regard. I have so much respect for the mother's in the world and daddy's. I know Wayne works so hard to provide for us and he comes home and plays his heart out with Truett. Sometimes I know he's exhausted and yet he keeps going. He amazes me!! I melt when I see him and Truett together. I think those two are more alike than they will ever know, and I'm the lucky woman who gets to be apart of their lives.

September will mark mine and Wayne's 5 years married and 7 years together anniversary, we hope to go to a beach in Mexico and are still in the planning stages. I can't wait to get away for a while but I know I'll be ready to get back and see Truett.

Truett is turning over and sitting up momentarily on his own. He enjoys his walker and play mat, he still hates "tummy time". He "crawls" around in a circle, not moving his knees, but moving his body in a circular motion by using his arms. We went last Tuesday for a checkup and he is 17 lbs. and 26 3/4 inches!! He's a biggen! Hope to write more and soon!
