A Letter to Jayce: Five Months

You're keeping me so busy I'm getting behind on writing these!

How has it been 5 months?!

This picture shows what this month has been about. You have gotten more rolls and more personality this month. I love it! 

You know when someone is talking to you and you turn to look when they say your name. You are trying to interact and move. 

There hasn't been a huge leap besides those 2 things so I'm expecting this next month to be lots of fussiness leading to mental and physical leaps. 

The big event this past month was our family vacation to San Antonio with Daddy's family.

You got to go to Sea World

And see the whales. 

We went swimming a lot. 

You got to go to the Riverwalk. 

Like every true Texan, you went to the Alamo. 

Notice a pattern?! You slept at all the interesting places. I guess you were getting your energy built up to become a chatterbox. 😄

You also went to your first wedding. You looked so handsome!

You even took part in the photobooth. 

You are getting so big baby boy. The next time I write to you, you will be 6 months old and half way to 1 year. I'm trying not to wish away the days even if they are rough. Your smile, giggles, & babbling are what keep me going. That and God. You are just starting to grow and I know rough nights are ahead (This past week has been awful for me but that part of your next letter. 😊) Soon, you will be mobile and my normal will change immensely. I am so glad God gave you to us. I'm learning so much about Daddy, me, & God's plan because of you. You may not fall asleep on your own right now but I'm "treasuring these things in (my) heart" because it won't be this way forever. 

"I'll love you forever. I'll love you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."

Mommy
