Five Months!!!

Happy Birthday piglet! You are five months today...and so freaking cute and adorable!

I love you!!!

Time...

I was sitting in bed last night, trying to refrain from eating you as you lay there next to me squealing and laughing and grabbing your little feet...and I began thinking about how much you have grown in these past 5 months...

Eventually you got a little cranky, so I picked you up and held you close to my chest...your body mostly resting on my thigh. I held you tight.

When you were very, very small, and I was breastfeeding you, I held you with the smallest effort...you seemed so fragile to me then...like if I held you too tight, I would break you.

Last night I basked in your weight...in your mass. I squeezed you. I know I have a couple of years left of times like these, where I can hold you to my heart's content.

364 Days Until Christmas!!!

Santa came and went...he left the little piglet lots of lovely gifts...including a book of poems, toys and clothes. What a lucky boy to have such beautiful things!

Now he naps with his dad...as I think about our first Christmas day together...



Feliz Navidad, O! Feliz Navidad.

Merry Christmas Sweetie!

I took this picture of you this morning...on your first Christmas Eve day here with us. You are the greatest gift ever given to your dad and I. We love you with all our hearts. Thank you for being here.

Love and more love!

Roll Over

We had our official first roll-over this afternoon...O went from tummy to this back...and there he stayed! Yey O!!!!

Snap, Crackle, Pop!

This morning, Joe, O and I are sitting at the dinning room table having breakfast. O was sitting on my lap...and I notice that he is staring at my plate...so I say, "Are you interested in food piglet...maybe we'll get you some rice cereal soon..." My adoring husband then says, "Like Rice Crispies?"...I'm still laughing...

Stats

Shots sucked. He cried and cried. Poor peanut.

Weight: 16lbs 4.8 oz
Height: 26 3/4 in

Hopefully tomorrow he will be his usual happy self...for his sake...I was pretty pleased with how well I handled it all...although I must admit his little stream of constant tears tugged at my heart.
