DUNKALICIOUS!!! yep, that's a word. well, if not, it is now!! it's my newest word to best describe my son. if those pictures don't make you want to say "duankalicious" i don't know what will. i mean, couldn't you just dunk him in some coffee and eat him right up?
well, as you can tell i love this little man. i am totally crazy about him and today, it sort of hit me...you know, i think i'm pretty good at this mommy thing. it was reassuring cause it gives me a little confidence that i can handle another one. ok, maybe that's stretching it a bit, but i will draw on the strength of those gone before me :o)
so today we went in for his four month appt...even though he's 20 weeks already (oops). he had to get his shots and after a 10 second scream, he gathered his composure and was fine. what a little trooper. i just hate those dr. appts. breaks my heart. oh, and he was in the 75th percentile for his height, but 25th for weight. that whole chart thing is weird. three weeks ago he was in the 55th percentile for both, and his appt before that he was in the 75th for both. i wonder how accurate those are when they fluctuate so much. it won't surprise me if he ends up close to 6 feet tall. both his uncles on rich's side are about 6'2 and 6'4, so he has a chance. great....that's just what we need, some kid towering over us when we are trying to discipline him. and watch, i'll have a daughter that will be 6 feet tall too. wouldn't that be funny. no, she'll probably be petite. fine with me. i always felt as a young girl that i had more options than other girls. nothin wrong with that right?
well, all ya'll have a wonderful day and just remember T.G.I.F. in less than 9 hrs! hang in there. you can do it.

he's adorable. i like the new word. it must be a mommy thing b/c i too like to come up with new words to describe my kids.
you are a great mommy--i knew you would be!
just a word of warning though....not to depress you, but, just wait until you have to start correcting him and telling him "no". he's going to look at you with a certain look (first he's confused, but when you have to repeatedly intervene with "no no" that rocks their worlds). up until that point you've had the priviledge of being his personal cheerleader and you've spoken only loving, happy things. independence changes things. yeah, that's about the time you start grading yourself real hard.
word to the wise, keep your head up (just like you are doing now) and keep reaffirming yourself that you are incredible at mothering and better yet, your kid(s) love you for it!
Man he is sooo cute! You can really see the Smith in him. Amazing how much they change in such a little time. I can't wait to see him again and actually get to know him growing up. Love you and keep up the good work. Our sis-law is right, when the dicipline starts, that's when the true mommy-hood comes out. And you really do grade yourself very hard. It helps to not go through it alone. You're a great mom and I look forward to raising our kids in the "same city"! Even though I'm somewhat seasoned at this mommy thing, I think I could also learn from you, & I look forward to that too.
He's getting to be so big and looks like he's getting a lot of personality. How sweet. When I saw those pictures it reminded me of some of the pictures of Rich when he was a baby. He is his fathers son. Hope you're doing well!
