5 months went by in a blink!

We have made it through some very difficult times during these past five months! Yes, I know...there are many more hard times to come, but we will take this a day at a time.

We are past sleepless nights, extreme colic, nighttime feedings, and days where mommy cried as much as baby!  Praise God!

I am thankful for our little Roman.  I fall more in love with him each and every day. My favorite times are when I walk into the room after he awakes.  Immediately, he kicks his legs excitedly as fast as he can.  Then he gives me the biggest smile!  I love how he is so thrilled to see Mommy and Daddy!

Bedtime is another sweet bonding time.  I cherish the fact that I can still cradle him in my arms and rock him to sleep.  I always sing, "You are My Sunshine," to soothe him.  Without fail, he sings along:  "Awww, Laaa." This is how I know he is about to fall asleep.  He sings himself to sleep now!

Motherhood is such a joy!  It is also a sweet blessing to be able to stay home with my baby.  I have seen Roman's first coo, first belly laugh, first rollover.  I am thankful that there are many more "firsts" to come.
