Growing So Fast

Before we had John Michael, I could not tell you how many people told us to cherish each moment because it goes so fast. I never understood how true this was! John Michael is growing up SO fast!!

JM has his own personality, gives the BEST smiles, and is exploring everything.
Facts about John Michael at 3 Months:

* HATES with a passion being burped. He does not understand it and does not like it!

* He is a "Hot" baby. He sweats just like his daddy! He loves to sleep in just a diaper.

* He has discovered his hands and cannot get enough of them....his favorite place to have them, his month.

* He is also like his daddy that he loves the mornings. After he has eaten, he his all about kicking and talking. Ben and John Michael have a special time in the morning as Ben dresses him for the day!

* He can roll from back to front and front to back.....however, catching him in the act is hard to do. He so loves to be on his side and in the mornings, we typically find him at the opposite end of his crib on his side sound asleep.

We love our little man and feel so blessed to have him around!

Dad and John Michael: Who you looking at? Loves the outdoors:


According to the Poll Facility, John Michael was the youngest voter they had seen all day! He helped his mom with making important voting decisions!

Life with John Michael

Loving our time with our Little Boy!

This is us Multi-tasking....1) Laundry, 2) keeping a baby entertained!


Our good friends, the Cromwell's, came this past weekend to see John Michael. With them, they brought a very cute outfit! I'm not kidding when I say Ben put him in the outfit Saturday, Sunday, and Monday!! John Michael seemed to enjoy making a mess in it each day so no worries...it was washed each time!

Baby Dedication

Last Sunday, Ben and I went before our church and made the statement that we would raise John Michael to be a follower for Christ. It was a special day and we had a lot of family that made the trip! We are so thankful for our family and our church family.

Question

Since going back to work, we have found MUCH success in meals that are frozen that I can make up on the weekends and then just put on bake delay to cook in the oven before we get home from work.
However, I am running out of recipes. If there are any blog stalkers out there and you have a recipe for something I can makeup on the weekend, then freeze, I would LOVE to have it!

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday!
