It's Been A While...
10:54 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
We have been so busy around here lately. It's been hard to stay up with blogging. Spencer is much more "awake" these days and by the time I have free moments, I'm exhausted!
Life is great. Joel's job is keeping him busy (and employed!) He is currently on day 4 of 12 straight work days. We are looking forward to his upcoming break! I am turning 30 this month. Seems surreal and not that big of a deal. When I think back to my future plans according to my high school mentality, I am close to where I thought I would be. I guess that's a good thing right? Regardless I am content... something I could not have said a while back.
With father's day coming up and mother's day just passing, I think about what it means to be a parent. It doesn't stop when they turn 18 or when they graduate high school or college for that matter.
Being a parent is a commitment for the rest of our lives. It breaks my heart to see people not take it seriously. I have realized being a parent is not for the selfish (while there are selfish people parenting, it doesn't do anyone any favors). Being a parent means loving, caring, protecting, learning, and so much more. I am blessed to have a son that I love to pieces, a husband that is a great father and a supportive family. All these are a positive combination of being a parent and raising a healthy, stable child.
Spencer updates: He is rolling over from back to tummy now. He just discovered this new trick about a week ago. He isn't sleeping through the nights again but he is starting to take longer naps in the day time. He LOVES taking walks and facing out. He's a very curious boy, always taking in his surroundings. He likes finding the highest vocal notes he can! It's pretty funny. Spence also discovered he can scoot backwards and tends to do this when he is upset. (Especially in his crib) He has recently started holding his arms out for us to pick him up. It's adorable. I can't believe he's only been in our life for 5 months. I can't imagine life without him now. Joel and I love him to pieces!!
