Can Anyone Say Big Baby!

So Jason was a little bit smaller than we all thought he would be when he was born, but he has definitely made up for it since!  The kid is only 1 month old and is already in 3 month clothes.  Everyone today at the park was asking how old he was and if he is just a tall kid.  I would laugh and tell them that he is just a chunk!  We love it though.  He and Lydia have been such different babies.  Lydia was so skinny and below the 25% and is now only in the 30%.  Plus she was still wearing 3 month pants when she was almost a year (they were shorts but they were the only ones that would fit her waist).  I have no doubt that Jason will be the opposite.  He looks so big and it's hard to believe that he is only 1 month old, he looks so much older.

The first day he was born he was holding his head up for short amounts of time which is impressive to begin with but makes it more so when you see the size of his head!  He is getting much better at controlling that now and can hold it up for a sustained amount of time.  He can move his hands to grab/swat at his toys on his play-mat or bouncer, and for my FAVORITE thing of all.....he is smiling!!!!  It's the cutest thing in the world to see your baby smile back at you.

He is growing up so fast that I will look at him and tell him to stop growing so fast.  Gregory laughs at me when I say that but I can't help but feel a bitter sweet moment knowing that I will probably never get to hold a baby of mine again.  I am holding onto every precious moment of him as a baby and loving it!  I am so blessed to have two such wonderful kiddos.  I don't know what I did in the life before this to be so blessed to be their mom.  They are precious spirits.

All ready for church last Sunday.  My favorite trio! 

My dad had a lay over in Dallas on Sunday and we were so lucky to be able to go see him!  It was the first time he met his grandson.  It's so sad to think that he was a month old before Grandpa got to hold him, but that's what happens when you live far away from your family.  It's been hard on me to be so far away, but my parents have been able to make a few trips out which has been great.  They will also be flying out in 2 weeks for Jason's baby blessing.  We are very excited for that.  Seeing my dad at the airport was so much fun even if it was only for 30 min, it was definitely worth it!
