Bounce with me

Cullen loves his bouncer. No I mean LOVES his bouncer. Thanks, Kelly!

Looking back

This Saturday Cullen was officially four months old! And four months for him marked one month that I have been back at work. So much for easing in slowly! I have been so busy! So far I have managed to keep the time Cullen gets home until he goes to bed strictly as baby time, but it has taken quite a bit of juggling and working almost every other waking moment. As I write, I am still wearing what I wore to bed last night because there was no time to do anything all day but work! Luckily, I have been able to work from home every now-and-then so I can squeeze a few more things into my day.

But my time with Cullen in the evenings is priceless. He is such a delightful little guy! He still loves naked baby time! And still hates tummy time and being in the car! I ventured to Lake Livingston to hang out with some of my favorite people this weekend, and on the way, he was fabulous. But the ride home was terrible. He screamed the ENTIRE time, that is, except every time I pulled over to comfort him (5 times). Let's just say it was a LONG drive.

He is also more and more aware of his surroundings and of new people. He lights up when he sees or hears David or me, which of course delights us!

Looking back at all the struggles we went through to have him, I feel so fortunate. I still remember the feeling of thinking I would never have a baby. And now I have this amazingly perfect son! Maybe the struggle makes me appreciate him even more.

Happy four month birthday, baby boy! Here's how you looked a month ago:
