3 Months


Today is this little man's birthday.  
These 3 months have FLOWN BY, and I am so excited for the next 3!  
There's a lot going on with our little family (being homeless is at the top of the list) and we are so excited about our future!  We can't wait to see some dirt moving.

But that's another story.... this post is all about Jett.

Some of his 3 month milestones:

-Not sure exactly how much he weighs, but I know it's over 13 pounds.  He's a chunk.
Pretty sure he's going to be bigger than big brother.

-That is probably due to the fact that he LOVES to eat!!!

-He is a happy baby!  He loves to smile.  If somebody's talking to him, he's smiling!

-He laughs out loud now!  So adorable.

-He can scoot across the floor on his belly.  I have a feeling he'll be rolling over before I know it!

-He's got much more neck support.  He also loves to stand and jump - just like his big brother did.  We bought a bouncer for Jase as soon as he could hold his head up.  And I think we'll be pulling it out pretty soon!

-He's sleeping great (except for the occasional crazy night).  Going to bed about 9:30 and sleeping until 7 or 8.  I'LL TAKE IT!!

-He had his first oatmeal bottle last night before bed.  He drank every last drop.  I can't wait 'til we're able to try new foods.... so much fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, baby boy!

counting chickens....

I was afraid to count my chickens before they hatched... but there's FINALLY some good news.

We are LAND OWNERS!!!

I am so ecstatic and ready to move on to the next phase - building a house.

I know this process will take some time, but I feel so much better now that we CAN ACTUALLY move forward.

So be looking for house posts... I know there will be lots of them in the near future!!!

Get thee behind me.....

... another "blah" day.

Threw myself a little pity party, had a nice little cry, and a hug from my hubby to make it all better.  He always puts me in my place.  Makes me realize that everything IS under control.

After an amazing worship service Sunday, and a word from Him just for me, I was ready to conquer the world.  But you know, the devil LOVES to stick his nose where he doesn't belong -  when you're at your best.  He was after me today.  But I gave him a swift kick in the rear. 

He's not welcome here.

And a verse was brought to my attention... perfect timing.

"...if anything is excellent or praiseworth, think about such things."  Philippians 4:8

I have so much to be thankful for.

And I'm too blessed to be stressed.
