What is wrong with me??

So I was told worrying before the baby arrived was normal and I thought it was extreme then. Now that Jack is here, I worry about everything every second of the day. It gets worse - if I'm about to do something with him or someone else is I think about the worst thing that could happen in that situation! Why is that? Why can't I just live for the moment and not stress over my baby's well-being. It is not that I don't trust the people he is with, but I just continue to think about the bad. Maybe it's a OCD thing and if I don't worry I feel like I'm a bad mother or something. Weird, huh? It could be that the older he gets, the more he can get into and so it's more of a task to keep an eye on him. Not to brag, but Jack did learn how to sit, stand, pull himself up in a standing position and transfer himself from one thing to another pretty early! Now he is starting to stand on his own for seconds at a time. And of course, everything goes to his mouth first. He has found the tags on stuffed animals and now that is what he looks for so he can put it in his mouth. I know he can bite it off too bc I have caught the whole thing in the roof of his mouth once and it scared me to death! But that does not stop him. "Le gusta la mala vida" He lives dangerously, my mom likes to say. So now I have you make sure the tag is cut completely off.

I guess the worrying will never end for parents. Even when he is 45 I'll still worry. How does the saying go? "Deciding to have a baby is to decide forever to let your heart go walking around outside your body..."? Something like that! :)

Happy, talking, crawling, beautiful baby boy!

It has been a while since I have written in my blog. Ive been through many changes since the last post. I went through losing a job and gaining another, the everyday changes we went through as parents and the growth of our now 9 month old baby boy! I couldn't really find the time anymore to blog and that is something I had to learn to live with. And that goes for any other hobby or activity pre-Jack. And when my time isn't occupied, it is enough to eat, clean and shower. BUT to be perfectly honest, i wouldn't want it any other way. Jack has grown so much in such a little time. I am already starting to think of ideas for his big 1st birthday hoohah!!

Here is an update on our precious baby....

Even though it is baby jibberish, he can talk your ear off and when he sees a "toy" (mainly anything he isn't supposed to play with) he grabs at it. He's a determined little guy and seems like he is studying us all. His new trick is to spit by using his tongue. For lack of trying to find the words to explain I will show you (pic below of him and his daddy).

He just had his 9 month check up and is doing great! Weighs 20lbs now and is 30 inches long - above average on height. We are hoping for a least a 6 footer! :) He is an amazing little baby and no matter what he does, it seems to put a smile on my face. I love it when he crosses his hands while he is sitting and relaxing. Lol. He looks so smart doing it! He loves baths and now can maneuver to where he wants to get out. I think it may be time to get him one of those bath seats....his laugh is the most addicting. You hear it and can't help but laugh too. I love this little guy and my love for him keeps on growing. When I find out someone else is having a baby I jump with excitement because soon they will feel the real love-at-first-sight feeling when they finally get to hold their baby just like i have felt. And will have so much fun with the many adventures they will have along the way.

In another note, Happy Birthday to my now 20 year old sister, Bianca! :)
