4 months old today

The past 4 months have felt both like a lifetime and a bolt of lightening all at the same time. The amount we have learned, changed, adjusted, readjusted, experienced, laughed at , cried at and felt has been transformational.
I have loved becoming a mommy. I love "loving" my baby!

Today
I noticed that his hair is much fuzzier than yesterday
I noticed his legs have lil hair on them
I noticed that he has dicsovered his feet and that they are almost as cool as his dad
I noticed that his cry to be readjusted in the bed is different from the feed me Seymour cry that I've become accustomed too
I noticed that he is quick to roll to his tummy but has not figured out that he can roll back!
I noticed that it is already going too fast and I don't want to miss a second!

Happy Independance!

Wyatt's first fourth of July! This is a special day for us as a fam!
Unfortunately it was way too cold and wet to do much of anything outside. We had been invited to a big fireworks show ( Thanks Leslie) however Wyatt was sound asleep in his crib well before dark. So maybe next year!

We spent some time with our neighbors ( who are great neighbors by the way) and then listened to the explosions from inside our house.

The sounds of small bombs bursting in air made me think about families who are less than excited to hear those types of things flying around their homes. I am thankful to not be afraid of impending bombs bursting overhead.

Can you imagine the type of celebration we would have had if chemical or bio warfare had been the flavor of the day back then?

Instead of sparklers and roman candles we might be dawning gas masks and eye wash bottles? Likely it would turn into a large water fight for celebratory purposes.

at anyrate I'm disappointed that the weather was cold and wet but since I'm not in control I guess I'll choose to roll with it =)
