Nash is 4 Months Old!



Time is flying by so quickly. Every month goes by in the blink of an eye.
Nash is growing fast and is so much fun! I will admit that I think everything he does is amazing and I am certain there is no other child as smart and talented as him. Yep, this is one proud momma.
Here is this month's list of things I love:
1. He laughs at Tia
2. That handsome boy in the mirror always receives the shy smile
3. When he is tired he is such a cuddle bug
4. Giggles, giggles, giggles
5. He sucks his two middle fingers AKA the bowling ball grip, just like his momma did
6. Hoot Hoot is the only thing that can comfort him when he goes to sleep
7. He finally gets Peek-A-Boo
8. He's a shy flirt to the cute girls on the block.

Stats:
24.25 inches, 13 lbs

I'm Ok with It


I have been a mom for 3 and 1/2 months and a perfectionist for 26 years.
Two things that don't mix: Perfectionism and life after a child.
As much as I tried to cling to my old ways of life, it simply is no longer possible.  This is what I came up with; I am ok with it.
I am ok that we will probably never have enough money, time, or sleep, but we will always have an abundance of love.
I am ok that my dishes sit on a dirty sink with a half unloaded dishwasher for 4 days, because we have a delicious meal nearly every night and Isaac usually makes it and really what is sexier than a man who cooks?!
I am ok with my saggy, stretch marked, resembles a cat who has had too many litters belly, because it has grown the cutest, most precious baby and hopefully will hold a few more.
I am ok with going to bed at 9 PM and bailing on going out with friends because my baby needs to be in bed by 7:30.
I am ok that spending quality time with Baby Daddy is catching up on our DVR'd TV shows that we missed because we are just too busy to watch it when it's on.
I am ok with my new perfume of spit up and baby lotion, because it means I was snuggling Nash all day.

And most of all, I am ok with not being super mom and pretending I have everything under control, because who wants to be friends with a perfectionist anyway?
