What a Big Day for Thomas

4:00 AM.........

My son has been waking up at 4:00 AM for the past week. Not sure why? We haven’t changed his routine, he is eating more and we are still putting him to bed at his regular time. So tonight we are going to try rice cereal for the first time. He won’t be 4 months old for another 2 weeks but everyone has told me that your baby will let you know when he is ready. Well I think he is ready, not sure if I can take another week of 4:00 AMs and going to work everyday. We are also getting professional pictures this weekend. I’m so excited. I will post them once we receive the proofs.

Lucky me got a summons for jury duty this week. So tonight I have to call to see if I need to show up. Just very bad timing since my boss is retiring this Friday. Hopefully with my husband being a Police Officer they won’t even consider me. Keep your fingers crossed.

My new winter hat, thanks Mom.

20 Years of Service

My boss is retiring at the end of this month. I’m so sad to see him go. It’s a happy sad though! He has given 20 years of service to The University of Missouri as the Director of Student Financial Aid. I have been out of college since 2004 and have had a few bosses. I have to say he has been the best boss I have ever worked for. He always puts family first before work and has made coming to work very easy. He is always thanking me for the work I do, which is something I hardly ever heard in previous jobs. You know you have a good leader when you don’t have much turnover in the office you work in. There are about 36 people who work in our office and we have several people who have been her just as long as Joe. Although I'm sad about Joe leaving, I’m looking forward to working with my new boss.

Tummy Time Part 2

We are finally having fun with tummy time in the Moyer home. All it took was a cool new toy. Mr. Leap is Thomas favorite new toy. He is so memorized by this toy. I would recommend it to all future Moms (Leap sings the ABCs). He also is starting to roll from his back to his side. He gets so excited when this happens. His eyes get so big and you can see the excitement in his eyes. It’s amazing to see how much he changes from day to day. He is starting to use his hands a lot more. He’s picking up rattles and loves to give Mr. Leap a hug and chew on his ear. I can’t even describe the feeling I get every time I hold my son. Being a mommy is my biggest accomplishment. I only hope that Dustin and I can raise him in a good Christian home. It’s a scary world out there. But by keeping God is his life every day I know my son will be able to face life’s everyday struggles.

We also have another mother in our home. Lilly has been acting very motherly towards Thomas lately. It's so cute. She just loves on Thomas. He will grap a fist full of her hair and she just takes it.

We miss you already.....

This was such a great weekend. Aunt Brandi came down and visited me and Thomas. We miss her so much already! Thomas had a great time getting spoiled by his Aunt B. He told me that she needs to hurry back and see us soon. We love you Aunt B!

Whitmire Baby Shower

Kasey and I gave Melanie and Kyle a baby shower. They got lots of great gifts and we played some fun games. Marek should be arriving anytime. We can't wait to meet the little guy.

So Excited!

Best Friend and Sister anyone could ask for

I’m so excited today! My twin sister Brandi who is also my best friend is coming to visit. I miss her so much. I wish she lived closer; I hate it that Thomas can’t see her every day. Brandi is one of the strongest most intelligent women I know. She means the absolute world to me! I don’t know what I would do without her. We talk 3 times a day, drives my husband crazy. We have our ritual drive to work talk in the mornings, and then usually talk 2 more times in the evening. This weekend we are going to be investing into web cams so Brandi and Thomas can see each other more often.
