Our chubby little Jence

Here are some photo's of Jence. He weighed 19 pounds at his four month old appointment. He is now almost six month's old. Where has the time gone? Babies change so much in that first year. I can't beilieve how big he has gotten. I just love taking pictures of his chubby little cheeks. He is truly just the perfect baby. He has been sleeping through the night for quite a few months now. I think his large size has helped to keep him satisfied. I'm so grateful God sent such a little angel to us God must have known I'd need a good baby to keep from going crazy. It's too bad that we don't get more minutes in the day as we have more children to care for. I sometimes feel bad that I have to divide my attention and time between four kids. I sometimes find myself feeding Jence while I'm helping Kate with piano, or reading with the other kids. When I compare the amount of time I focused on Kate when she was a baby, it's crazy. I use to just sit and hold her for hours. Inspite of the crazy pace my life is running at right now, I'm trying to really enjoy Jence because I know that in a blink of an eye he will be all grown up. When I'm rocking him to sleep even though the house is a mess, and there's chaos everywhere I feel totally peaceful. I feel like in that moment there's no other place in the world I'd rather be than just holding him while he sleeps. Being a Mom everyday is NEVER easy, but my kids are totally worth it. All of the sleepless nights, piles of laundry and hours of reading Dr. Seuss. All of the poopy diapers, cooking, cleaning, and running kids to sports, piano, and dance are all worth it. I get payday every single day. In hugs, kisses, I love yous, and laughs. I guess the balancing act of trying to juggle everything is all part of the progress we are suppose to be making in this life. I'm sure someday I'll look back and wish for the good ol' days when my biggest worry was whether or not I could get my laundry folded, and still manage to get dinner on the table.
