Well this past month has gone by in a wink or as some say in a flash. Remy has turned one month old and I feel like it was just yesterday that he was born and I was in the hospital holding him for the first time. They say your kids grow up right before your eyes and it is true they do. I did not think it was true until this month flew on by and Remy has grown a little bigger and becoming more of a person everyday. Being a mom is a lot of work but has a lot of rewards. The rewards are more than I could have imaged things like, seeing you baby smile, watching him grow a little each day, and even laughing at his poop faces etc. all of these things make waking up at night with him worth wild. (even on the days I wanna kill someone)This past month I have learned something new about being a mom each day and what my mom went through with me. I thank heavenly father each day that I had the mom I did because of all the things she must have put up with me growing up and the things I do know she had to go through with me. This past month I have been preparing for our move by packing a little each day and it is weird to see all our stuff become less and less in our apartment. Since we are moving across country again I have been selling some of our furniture so that we don't have as much to move and also so that I can get so more reliable furniture that will last us more or less a lifetime. So as these things are selling little by little our nice apartment is getting more and more empty and it is just weird. Leaving Idaho will really be more or less a bitter-sweet for us as a family. We started our family here and we got to know more of some of my extended family. Another thing I will miss about this place besides my extended family (i.e. grandparents, cousins etc.) is the amazing scenery and beauty that is Idaho. But as we move to our next adventure we will be able to learn more things about new places and make new friends as we leave ones behind. Making friends is always hard but when we do we hate leaving them. We have made some great friends here and it will stink not to be able to see them again for a long time, but we hope to stay in touch with those we have met and maybe one day see them again.
Remington as we like to often call him Remy has been doing well. He sleeps most of the night with only waking up 1-2 times max. He loves to smile and lay on the floor on his blankets making sounds and listening to Jason Derulo with his dad. Remy really enjoys tummy time whether it is on daddy's chest (which he likes best) or on the floor to where almost every time I catch him falling asleep like that. I sometimes catch some smiles here and there and I love his gummy smiles they make my day. He is getting to know his sister Lexy a little more each day as we try to get her to keep warming up to him. Remy is growing each day and is getting so big we can't seem to make it stop. We have enjoyed having him in our lives each day and can't wait to keep watching him grow into the man we hope he does. Remy is so loved by his father and me and of course lexy who likes to kiss his legs. One of Remy's favorite things is when I sing him his song that I made up. "My name is Remy, Yay, my name is Remy.. R for Rockin, E for excellent, M for masculine, Y for you wish your name was Remy!" and it goes on and on. With that song I move his arms and play with his hands. It is our little song for him and I like to sing it to him everyday. Love that boy....
Dan "daddy B" will be graduating this Wednesday and I could not be any more prouder of him this week as he will get his diploma and move onto his next adventure of school at St.Louis. Remy may be small but I know he thinks his dad is the coolest, smartest, and most amazing dad to be finishing school and going onto better things to further his career and provide for our family. Dan has worked very hard this semester and never stops working so hard for us. They say that when you have a child your love grows stronger for your spouse, let me tell you first hand it does. Ever since Remy was born I have grown to love this man more than I thought my heart could give but it keeps giving love to him each and everyday with this boy in our lives. From the moment he has held Remy to the moments I hear him tell him he loves him, it melts my heart with joy and warms my soul. Dan and I are always learning how to be parents and teaching each other how to do things. Dan does such a good job with our boy.
Lexy, we can never forget Lexy! She is doing a little better each day with Remy, still isn't sure about him but we always try to make her feel included by giving her love, snuggles and as we like to call doggie hugs. I think that Lexy still does not know what to think about Remy but I know as Remy grows that Lexy will grow to love him too. Lexy still loves to sleep all day and snuggle all day. She has stopped sleeping in our bed since Remy has been born which is sad but in the mornings she comes into bed and snuggles till the morning sun comes up. The other day Lexy had a bad dream, I always wonder what she is dreaming about each time due to the fact that she will squeal and do little barks each time it is quite funny.
