Milestones, they are a-comin'

I cannot believe how quickly the time has passed since having Stephen Ross.  Pregnancy felt like an eternity, like I would never get to meet him - or wear pants with a zipper again.  Now that I have our little family, I feel like I cannot keep track of the time!

Almost 5 months, he pushes up on his arms and rolls over (when I am not looking), laughs hysterically, smiles all (well, most) the time, "talks" and coos a lot, teething, scootching across his crib, playing peek-a-boo and can almost sit up by himself.  He adores having books read to him and turning the pages all by himself.  Unrolling paper towels is of particular interest, as is being tossed (ever so gently) into the air as "super bug",  As per the doctor's request, he is still only on breastmilk - which is fine by me, because it makes me feel like he still needs me for something!

This weekend as Chase was loading the trailer to head to my parents in Rosanky (with some fillies), S.R. felt a little warm and had an alfalfa-like diaper.  Took his temp: 100.8F.  So we unloaded and buckled down with some infant Tylenol for the little bug and hideous junk food for his momma.  Fever-free this morning and napping like a champ - I am happy to report.

And in the near future you can expect a blip on good ol' Saint Patrick, being not only the patron saint of Ireland but also S.R's baptismal name sake.
