my big son

i'm getting nestalgic already at the fact how big my son is. yes, he's just barely two and a half weeks old, but i find myself looking at those 'day old' pictures of him and i get all soppy in my heart. i wish we could go back to those days, two weeks ago, and relive those tiny baby moments. but now, i just have my big old practically going to start kindergarten soon son who just gets bigger and bigger by the day. at the same time, i can't wait until he's bigger and can sit up and smile when tickled. there's that big old quandry of parenthood i guess.

well, right now he's dancing to nickel creek with his dad, and that makes me happy. but i still wish he'd go back to be little again....maybe some of those crazy after pregnancy hormones are kicking in and getting me all emotional. great.

also, we sorta weighed him at mimi's today. well, dave stood on the scale with him, then i took him and dad stood on the scale by himself. the difference was about 10 pounds, but we are figuring the clothing factor, the "the scale only measures in .5 increments factor," and the factor that dad just ate dinner that he's somewhere in the 9 pound range. wow! i'm so proud of him, gaining all this weight and everything. he's doing just what he's supposed to.

and i just can't stop thinking what a precious little boy he is....ahh...he's pretty great.

you should meet him, if you haven't already.

that's it for tonight, oh, and american idol too....

So proud of your enormous baby. I'm happy I was able to share in his fleeting baby days, now that he's all grown up and everything.

So what were your Idol thoughts?

Oh, I can't wait to see him! He's going to be in toddler size clothes by then, I'm sure, at the rate he's obviously growing. :)

Just wait until he's turning THREE. yikes... Or even 8 months, like my other one! Babies sure don't stay tiny very long. Although it can seem like that at the time, sometimes... :)

You are such a wonderful Mommy and it is so cute to hear you talk about "your son". I am so proud of you Cerissa! Maybe soon we'll catch each other on the phone and we can catch up :)
Love you!
