A New Adventure: 3 Months and Rolling!

     3 months ago today, we met our baby boy! He is growing so quickly and learning a lot! He surprised me by rolling from his front to back 2 weeks ago. I was so excited! He did is three more times right after that and I got to record one and send it to grandmas, great-grandmas and aunts! He's been practicing ever since. Once he's rolled over, he talks to his "friend" the star that is attached to the overhead part of the play mat. We joke and say he talks to that guy more than he talks to anyone else. He loves the simple face on it I guess.
     We have been walking in our neighborhood in the mornings. Sometimes we use a carrier, sometimes the stroller. We also try to get out and "see some people" once a day and always sing "Let's Go Riding in the Car" while getting out the door. Jeffrey enjoys being sung to and listening to rhymes. He loves the silly, repetitive things I do and anticipates what I will say next by opening his mouth wide with a big, excited smile. He watches my hands as I move them in the motions that go with rhymes or songs. He sleeps through the sermon at church and wakes up when the music starts again. He sometimes uses a quiet voice when it's just the two of us up close and he just smiles at me and giggles, which melts my heart!!!
     I went to work on Saturday for our teacher work day. I wrapped it all up, met the woman who is taking my place and said goodbye to some of the most amazing people. I've been very fortunate to have worked in that school for the past 4 years. They really did make me feel loved like it was my home away from home. I am now officially and full time mom! I've waited so long for this time. Brant and I have planned for this for a long time. Brant looked at me on Sunday night and said, "You look happy." I am. I'm finally feeling normal this week. Everything is getting a little easier too. For example, I usually have to wait for someone to help me take his monthly picture in his chair and this month he can sit up on his own so I can take it by myself! 3 months is a great age so far!
