Ames has been such a blessing in our life and we're happy to be celebrating our first Mother's Day. It was a good weekend for Suzanne as she spent some much needed family time in Omaha with the whole family. Not too often recently that they are all able to get in some quality family time.
I am happy to have a person like Suzanne in my life. She is a great mother and an amazing friend. We look forward to all the memories we will make as a family and all the future Mothers Days we get to spend together. I couldn't ask for a better person to mother our little boy.
Now for an update on boy (I'll try to include anything I can):
- Ames loves Isabella. He will smile at her and follow her everywhere she goes. Isabella shares the same feelings with Ames. Anytime she is let out of her kennel or room, the first thing she'll do is run to find out where he is and make sure he's ok.
- Manney is a different story. Ames and Manney are merely aquaintances.
- Ames has learned a few things lately - he can yell. It's like it just hit him one day. He realized he could yell. And he loves it. Sometimes he'll just lie and yell. Apparentely it is fun.
He also learned that he can touch his feet. Most the time on his back is spent with his hands gripping his feet. Wish I could be as flexible. And lastly, he learned that tummy time sucks. So he'll just put an end to that by rolling over. His first roll startled him. But once he realized this is how you get off your tummy, it seems like he's been fine tuning his skills.
This is as happy as you'll see me when I'm on my tummy.
- Ames has been sleeping through the night more and more often. Not every night. But we'll take what we can get. He is getting into a pretty good routine with naps and sleep time.
Good morning. And by morning, I mean hello at 3:00 am
- And, we have teeth. Boy just cut his two first teeth this last weekend. And it looks like there may be a couple more not too far behind. It's just a scary reminder of how quickly they grow up. He's only 4.5 months old, and to most people that is a brand new baby. But to me, it feels like he's no longer a baby. It's crazy to see the changes me makes over just a couple days.
- At his 4 month check up, it was verified. Ames is a big boy. His percentiles are 80th for weight and 70th for his length.
