Late Twenties

I think the time has finally come where I officially hit my late 20s. Married with kid, who would've thought? I think ever since 2009, there's always been one big milestone in my life - 2009 = engaged, 2010 = married, and now... 2011, I think 2011 is THE year to remember for me. July of 2011 marked one of the happiest days of my life when my baby Lukey made his debut into this world. However, August of 2011 marked the saddest day of my life when I had to say goodbye to my Mom. There are days when this still seems surreal and I'm just thinking my Mom's taking a long vacation and isn't really gone. It's just crazy to see how the happiest and saddest days of my life were so close together.

Anyway, here's to another year of aging as I hopefully become a year wiser, as well as (hopefully) becoming a better wife and mother.

5 Months & Growing...

I've been slacking on updates lately. 2011 is nearing an end and my boy is nearly 1/2 a year old! (Yikes!) Although he wants more attention now, he is becoming more and more fun, and we couldn't ask for a more well-behaved child. Lately, we've been practicing sitting up with a tad bit of support from Mommy. Tummy time sessions are also not as torturous since Lukey's neck muscles (and other muscles in general) are becoming stronger. There is slobber everywhere since Lukey's favorite thing to do right now is put everything in his mouth. We also go through three bibs a day since everything is now drenched in saliva. Month 5 also marks the month of solid foods. So far, he's a fan of rice cereal (yuck!) but not a big fan of peas (I guess he takes after his Momma...). Today, we just switched strollers and he has finally converted to his "big boy" Baby Jogger stroller. He seems to enjoy sitting in that more and seeing what Mommy sees since he didn't cry at all while at the mall. All I can say is, my little boy is growing up WAY TOO QUICKLY!
