So much has been on my mind lately.
Student teaching is finally over in less than a month.
We have made few friends here in Utah,
which makes us miss everyone we left in Rexburg.
Brody still doesn't sleep through the night.
Nor does he sleep in his crib.
He sleeps cuddled next to me,
which is something I love and cherish,
since I know that someday I won't have that cuddly baby to cuddle anymore.
However, Jeff frequently prefers the couch most nights,
whether it's because he has a lot of homework,
gets home late from work,
or his sleep schedule is just totally out of wack..
either way, he just doesn't want to wake our sleeping baby that is so often in our bed.
That is what is on my mind most now.
I love my little family.
I love my sister.
I love my grandparents,
who made the trip to see us on their way in Arizona.
My camera was dead the entire weekend,
which meant no pictures.
I'm regretting that.
They noticed how much he has grown.
This weekend made me reminisce on how little he used to be,
and how big he has already grown.
Twenty pound little guy, holy cow.
That's as heavy as my grandparent's, not exactly skinny, dog.
I know that a couple more months down the road,
I'll look back and remember how small he is right now.
I keep thinking he is so big, and I hate thinking that he is just going to keep growing.
But boy is it so fun.
He is going to crawl anyday now.
I hold my breath that he doesn't do it when I'm not home.
Oh I'd be so sad, so sad.
Right now he props himself up in downward dog position,
except it is on the top of his head and on his tiny tippy toes.
It's so cute.
He get's so frustrated,
which is also so cute.
Love him, love him, love him.
Another thing that is on my mind a lot,
is when to begin thinking about Brody having a little sister or brother.
I know most would think I'm crazy,
but I want so bad to have my kids close in age.
I watched my sisters be two years apart.
I watched how they were friends all through growing up.
I want that,
for all my children.
We talk about this a lot,
but I think we both feel a little nervous.
This semester with student teaching, Jeff in school, and Jeff working late shifts,
has been soooo hard.
Next semester is going to bring so many good things.
But time is still passing.
I feel like with each week it has been going faster and faster.
