Our 4 Month Sweet Smiley

Andrew is so fun lately with lots of smiling and laughing. Pretty much anyone can get him to flash a big gummy grin these days. And with a little singing and dancing with mommy, he gives precious giggles, too! Some of these photos are from my camera phone, so not great as quality. I added some "serious" shots as well.

I have this one as my cell wallpaper. It makes me so happy!

He was checking himself out in the mirror.

This one makes me laugh and I just want to eat him up.

Just what I needed

When I have a bad day, it's usually followed by a good one.

Lonely tonight, but making my way through

I don't know how it's possible to GET lonely with an almost 4-month old in the house, but it happens and I'm left to the sometimes sad thoughts that enter my head.

My fellow blogger friend who just had her 4th baby one day after Andrew recently posted that being a mom has made her so sentimental. I agree COMPLETELY! I am a blubbering mess just thinking of him and the people he makes me daydream about (most recently Daddy who's away or Grandma and Aunt Beth who I wish lived at least only one state away and not four.) Of course I am an emotional person before motherhood and now it's in full force. I don't know how you couldn't be a sentimental wreck having a newborn. Is that possible?

Of course it really all started during pregnancy. I will always remember sitting in Andrew's nursery a few weeks before he was born, folding clothes and diapers. I casually swung a cloth diaper over my shoulder (just to try it out!) and I was in tears thinking about having my baby there on my shoulder.

Oh, it's so wonderful and these are the moments I have to remember when I start to feel lonely or sad. How can you be sad, Lynn? Look at all you have!
