Two months old and where is summer?

I can't believe that Tobi is two months old. We are still not sleeping much but I try to remember that it isn't forever and that I want to enjoy every moment of holding Tobi. Something that he wants me to do all the time. He is growing and starting to act more like a newborn and not a preemie anymore. It is nice to be leaving this stage. He is eating more and more and that means I am trying to pump more and more to keep up with him. I have come to the fact that we can't breastfeed but I am going to do the best I can to get him my breastmilk for as long as I can. I know how important it is for him. Especially for Tobi because of his cleft. When he coughs or spits up it comes out his nose and breastmilk is so much more gentle on his sinuses. He is starting to not freak out each time this happens too. Which is nice. He is so cute and I am glad for that. God knew what he was doing when he made babies so cute because it makes life a lot easier when they are screaming in the middle of the night. =)


Will, Tobi, and I were able to go to church for the first time since February. Tobi and I didn't really get to be in the service but at least we made it there. We also had a church picnic Sunday evening where we were able to start to get to know more people. I am really liking our church and I have been so thankful for all they did for us with Tobi. Plus, there are a million kids which Will loves. It took long enough but I we finally found a home church after all these years in Boise.

We planted half of our garden this week and I hope to get the rest done today. It is well into June now but it feels like early spring with the weather. I am ready for summer and being outside and going up to the river to swim. We got 15 more chicks and so far we haven't lost any of them. That brings us up to 27 chickens. Kim is getting married this summer so we will be busy with getting ready for that and most all of Matt's family is coming throughout the summer. It is going to be a fun and busy summer. I know probably by next week it will be in the 90s and I will be wondering why I said that. =)

The recovery from the baby and everything has been a lot longer than I thought it would be. I still get tired so easily and I am doing good if I get a shower in the day. =) It is fun though. I know this is just a phase and pretty soon Tobi will be growing like a weed. I do love the snuggling with him and all the little cooing he does. He really is a cute little guy. I love him to pieces and I am so thankful for my little boys. They really are the best. I am blessed.
