Rolling Over

My little monkey rolled all the way over for the first time today. and mommy missed it :( lucky for me i have a great sitter who took action shots so mommy could at least see it,and had them printed off her computer when i got there! i am so blessed with his sitter, and her kids adore him and dote on him! i couldnt have gotten luckier. looking forward to the craft fair with rosemary tomorrow -other than that not much going on here

monday monday..

not much exciting going on. got to spend a girly day w\ stacy and the girls saturday (and baby lucas) they wore me out!!! from 10 am to 8 pm shopping. they loved on lucas so much i know he ate it up. he is almost 13 weeks now. getting the grasp of reaching for things but still not opening his hand but you can tell now he is trying to reach out and not just randomly batting about. We are going more and more to bottle only, that is a very tough decision. Breast feeding is such a sweet time when he looks up at me while he feeds and i know that only momma will do sometimes. mostly now it is more for pacifying him when he is upset or to get him to sleep. i still desperately wish i could find somethign to do from home to be with him but right now financially i cant.

Reaching Milestones and Making Decisions

At his last dr appt just before he turned ll weeks Lucas was 14 1/2 pds and 24 inches. that was painful watching him get 5 shots, i am sooo glad his daddy was there to help momma was a wreck. Today i put him in his walker (which he is to little for but daddy insisted i try him in it once in a while) and for the first time i saw him really try to reach for something. still with a closed fist but he kept digging at the honey pot with a clenched fist as if trying to draw it closer, with the cutest little look of concentration on his face. He is smiling alot more now and cooing as if he wants to talk. (say maaamaaaa) I am trying to make a very hard decision about work right now, i am looking into findng a couple kids to watch so i can stay home with him but i am so afraid to quit my job right now in this terrible economy. we cannot make it on jrs salary. but i am basically working for little more than to pay daycare and missing out on so much with my son. Please God make a way for it to happen!
