jarrett, where are you?

Wow, just realized I only wrote in here once this month. Not a good thing at all. I returned to work a little earlier than planned so it created a bit of a havoc. Even with that we were still able to have fun. God has blessed us with the opportunity for Marvin to stay home and take advantage of his FMLA/CFRA rights, so he has 12 weeks at home with Jarrett that will end on November 27. Over the last month, we spent a week in Las Vegas, Nevada. During that time we went outlet shopping, went to Red Rock Canyon, went to the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory and visited Hoover Dam. Coincidentally, Marvin's grandfather was in Vegas for a funeral that week, so Jarrett also got to meet his great grandfather. I am very happy that Jarrett got that opportunity as I'm really not sure when we would have had a chance to get to Fordyce, Arkansas. We also recently went to the LA County Fair. Jarrett loves going to all these places. He is such a curious and intuitive baby and going out just gives him such a wonderful sense of happiness.

So what's happened with Jarrett? Jarrett turned 4 months old on the 19th of September. Not much is going on with him. He is a big boy, looks like a football player already. He loves to laugh and baby talk and he can kinda sorta sit up on his own. Does leaning to the front count after a minute? Jarrett's gotten 100% better at the bottle - Daddy is now able to give it to him without any problems. YEAH!!!! Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. I will add pictures later.

packing away the newborns

I just got through packing away Jarrett's size NB (newborn) clothes. How sad! I can't believe he used to be so little and I can't believe how much he's grown. I put one of the little outfits next to him to see the difference and it is AMAZING!!! You never believe it when other people tell you how fast they grow till you see it for yourself.

Well, I guess we'll be going shopping over the next week for some new clothes for him, we'll be around some outlets so I'm hoping to get some great deals for him. It's kinda fun to have someone new to shop for! Thank you Lord for blessing me with this amazing gift named Jarrett. I don't feel like I can say thank you enough.
