3 Month Update

Been awhile, but things have been pretty busy around here!

John is now 3 months old, and I can't believe how big he is getting!! He is about 14 pounds and is 26 and a half inches long. He is very long for a 3 month old, so we are thinking that he might end up being a tall boy. Phil and I are both short, but we have some height on both sides of our families, so let's hope he gets that. He is such a good boy though, he has a wonderful personality already, very happy and mellow, only cries when he needs something and even that isn't bad. And his smile is always so big and so beautiful. He has discovered his hands, and of course that and everything else he can get in those hands goes right into the mouth. He discovered toys and now I can't help but want to buy new rattles and other toys every time we go to the store. Luckily Phil is good at getting me out of the baby section before I spoil him too too much :) The funny thing is that lately John has taken to growling and grunting, along with his normal talking and laughing he's been doing. He sounds like a little pirate!!

I am really enjoying being a stay at home mom, and I feel so blessed that we have the ability for me to be home with him everyday, because I feel at this time in his life it is very important that I am home with him, as we have our own schedule during the day, and there is always at least one parent home with him during the day. I think he is really going to benefit from having me at home with him right now, plus he does something new everyday and I just don't want to miss a minute of him.

I am thinking of going back to school though, and finish my education. I did receive my Associates Degree from the University of Phoenix Online, but with my dad in school getting his Master's Degree, and Phil working on his Associates and Bachelor's, I really would love to go back myself. I've always wanted to be a teacher, especially a Special Education teacher, and at the University of Phoenix you can take online classes to receive your Bachelor's in Elementary Education, then I can get my Master's in Special Education, and even go for my Doctorate in Education if I feel adventurous. So it is something I am seriously going to look into doing, because online classes will let me go to school anytime John is down for a nap, or at night when he goes to sleep.

Speaking of which, my little one is up. Time for a baba and toy time!
