My Heart Just Melted

Ok, so I have music playing and Jonathan is "dancing" while watching himself in the reflection of the tv. Well really he's just shaking his head from side to side and shrieking with joy! It is just precious. I tried to get a video, but everytime he stops and comes after the camera. Well I guess I better write a whole blog now since I'm here.

So Jonathan is 7 months old today. He has mastered crawling and sitting this past week. Who needs a dog when you have a baby following you from room to room. In all seriousness though, he's become so much more difficult to watch. Jonathan is constantly after things he shouldn't have or going places he shouldn't be, such as the bathroom and kitchen. I'm so afraid when he crawls on hard flooring. He's already smashed his face a couple time, I hope he's learning to be more careful. Jonathan can go from his tummy to perfect sitting position now, and has become rather good at keeping his posture. And lastly, he can say......Dada! Craig wins this round. However he does not say it directly relating to Craig, but it's a start. JK is no where saying mama but I'm sure it will be his most used word before too long.

In a typical week, I usually get out of the house maybe 3 times, 2 of which are to class. Needless to say, I was  craving some adult friend interaction. So, I headed up to Kennesaw last night for the evening...All by myself! It was indeed lovely and I was really glad too see friend I hadn't seen in months and some in even years. I am also thankful for Craig offering to take care of Jman all night. When i got home at...ahem 12:30, Craig told me that J had woken up a couple of time since his bedtime at 9. I asked him how that went and he said "fine, it took him 15 minutes to go back to sleep the first time and only 5 the second." Welp I guess we are going to start the ferber method after all. I had always pick Jonathan up the first hint of noice during the night for fear of him waking Craig, well and also because I'm a sucker for my crying baby. It's going to be tough for the next couple of days, but with Craig helping and supporting me I think we can do it. I'm planning on alotting for 2 feedings during the night 2 AM and 7 AM, 5 hours apart and hopefully cutting that down to one before too long. Right now 5 hours of sleep sounds heavenly though, so I'm content.

Craig and I are doing great. Craig had a 2nd interview with Sprint yesterday. This would be a wonderful job for him, both for his interest and his resume. We will know if he gets it by this Monday, so prayers are most appreciative. However, if the job doesn't fit quite right, his resume has already been placed in a hat for another job in a different department of Sprint. So lets hope he gets one of them.

Ok, I am now going to unload a mountain of pictures that I have been hoarding all year. I will start with the oldest pictures and end with the most recent.
