This afternoon I was laying on our bed with my (not so little) peanut cuddled beside me. It was time for a lazy afternoon nap after a busy day. As I closed my eyes and began to drift off, my body became more aware of my peaceful surroundings. As the scented air of jasmine floated in with the breeze, the slight melody of tropical, wooden wind chimes sang me to sleep. Just before I passed to unconsciousness, a hummingbird approached the feeder outside my window. I could hear the vibration of its wings as it hovered and swilled the sweet nectar. Just before it departed, it chirped as if telling me goodbye ..... I opened my eyes and drank in one last look of my little man before I drifted off. The sunlight caught strands of his strawberry -blond hair and his skin appeared to be comprised of buttermilk. I smiled as I watched his chest rise and fall with breath. At that moment, I knew what Heaven was like and I wanted to pause time. Instead, I drifted off with the calming essence of jasmine still in my breath and the slight sound of a pacifier being rhythmically enjoyed.
Anyhow, it has been awhile since my last post! The other weekend, Tim and I had Mason dedicated by our family Pastor, Rick Stowell. It was a nice ceremony that was held on my parent's back patio. The sun was shining and a slight breeze kept the afternoon cool. It was very relaxed and the ceremony had the exact feel we had hoped.
Mason is doing great. He has expanded his food repertoire and is now eating fruits as well as veggies. I never anticipated that I would grow so attached to nursing and I have mixed feelings of the weaning process. Mason is sitting up well, but is not regularly rolling over. Tim and I believe it is because he doesn't want to roll over, not because he can't ... He rolled over today from his belly to his back like he had done it a thousand times.
Anyhow, I have included some video and a link to some recent pictures:
I hope this finds you all doing great!
Love,
Jenn, Tim, Mason, and the animals ....
