Monday's Letter to my Little Bear-Fourth Edition

Happy Memorial Day Little Bear! Today is Monday, May 26, 2008, and we had a busy day with family! For lunch, we were out at Gigi & Papa's and grilled hamburgers with Uncle Bobby, Uncle Brian, Aunt Sarah, Emma & Lauren. Then we had enchiladas out at Grandma & Grandpas for supper with Aunt Kim, Uncle Todd, Kylie & Emily! You are so worn out from the day and the busy weekend that your conked out in your car seat right now...Mommy will have to get you up in a bit, so we can get your jammies on and get ready for bed. You've had so many FIRSTS this week!! You love blowing bubbles and if someone blows them at you, you usually do it right back! You also have found your feet!! You're so cute when you lay on your back and try to get those little piggies into your mouth. I've tried to get pictures of you in the act, but every time you see the shiny silver camera over your head, you stop and just stare at it! I'll get you one of these days though! You've also started rolling over...you've rolled yourself over from your tummy to your back before, but only because you were mad...now you're actually rolling from your tummy to your back AND your back to your tummy because you think it's fun. Another challenge for Mommy while she's trying to change your diaper, you not only squirm now, you try to roll over to your tummy. You're growing and changing so fast, what a big boy! Last night we tried to get you back to your "sleeping through the night schedule"...you were doing so good for a while there, letting Mommy & Daddy get lots of sleep, but all of the sudden you think you need to get up four or five times a night to party :) So, we had a long night...trying to soothe you back to sleep without feeding you! You don't need those middle of the night snacks!

AND...are you ready for the best news of all? Mommy turned in her letter of resignation at work last week! That means starting in August, I get to stay home with YOU! I'm so excited! It was a hard decision, because I do love my job...but I love my Little Bear MUCH MORE! We'll have so much fun together and Mommy won't have to miss anything. I feel so lucky and so blessed!

I love you bunches, baby boy!!!
