Five Months

I'm five months already. You could say I'm a perfect little angel. I grow bigger everyday and love to amaze Mommy and Daddy with all sorts of new tricks.

This is me on the morning of my first trip to the library.

I started going to the library with my mom for baby time. I have met a lot of new friends. I look forward to my Monday morning trips to the library so I can play with Jason, Sarah, Micah, Milo, Elle and Alice. I have even gone to hang out with Jason and Sarah after the library. We get along really well!

I've practiced up on my drooling. By the looks of my shirt, I'd say I'm honing that practice to perfection.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK
March 16, 2010

For daddy's spring break we went to Buffalo to do some exploring. Addi even got to come with us. It was a beautiful day so we did a lot of walking around the city. We had a lot of fun.

That's me in the stroller. Daddy and I look like little ants in front of this massive building.

We ate lunchish/dinner at the Anchor Bar. This was fun because it was where Buffalo Wings were created. Mommy doesn't even really like wings but said the wings at the Anchor Bar were by far the best she's ever had!!

MY FIRST TRIP TO SENECA PARK ZOO
March 18, 2010

We saw so many cool animals at the zoo. We saw:

SEALS

ELEPHANTS

AND THE VERY BEST...POLAR BEARS!!

We also saw monkeys, eagles, tigers, hyenas, rhinoceroses and other cool animals too!!

In my spare time I just like to...CHILL

I am practicing my sitting skills and can sit on my own for a minute or two. Mommy has to make sure I don't head dive in one direction--sometimes I lose my balance.

I love to laugh. Mommy and Daddy have found all sorts of tickle spots on me. I also like to laugh at them when they are acting stupid, talking to each other or making funny noises in my face.

When I eat my cereal, I insist on holding my very own spoon. Mommy gets the spoon to feed me so I think I should get a spoon too. After she feeds me a spoonful of cereal I like to practice feeding myself.

I am very talented with my binki and love to take it out. I can't always get it back in the right way but boy do I try!

At the end of each day I'm beat.

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

One year ago today my mom gave me a special gift. It was the day I found out a baby would join Steven and I through the journey of life. Today, one year later, I have discovered that my mom gave me much more than a gift. She gave me Jasper--perfection I could never have expected. My mom has missed a big chunk of my journey. I would like to think she is proud. I hope she hasn't missed a second of it!

I talk to you, but I don't know what to say. I am afraid you don't want me to say anything but inside of me there are words waiting to come out. I tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart. And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you to be here. Those words may forver float in the air. Sometimes I wonder if there are words you want to say too... but I'll never know.--Annonymous

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
