2 months!

Hank weighs about 12.5 lbs and is 24 in long.
- He loves to "talk" and is SO close to giving us a big laugh.
- His hair is growing super fast.
- He loves bath time still and having mama massage his legs and feet before putting his pajamas on.
- Hank and the deddies are spending a lot more time together now that he's getting big and happier at night.
- This past Sunday (November 24th) we dedicated him to Jesus. (Even though I dedicated him in my heart one of the first Sundays we were back in church.) We are vowing to teach him about Jesus in our home, keep him in church, and "be" Jesus to him. *Friends and family- keep us accountable!
- Hank still gets up 1-2 times a night (occasionally more) to eat. That's fine with mama. As Dr. J says, "There's no such thing as too much breast milk" :)
- I'm still staying home and plan to go back to the car lot in January.
- Hank loves Landry and looks for her when she's with us.
- I am so thankful for this baby. I can't imagine what Mary must have felt when GOD trusted her with the SAVIOR of the world. God must have thought a lot of that young, virgin girl. I said it before but I'll say it again. Being Hank's mom and Will's wife is my highest calling and first priority. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that I am giving my best to fulfill that calling.
- With that I must say that figuring out how to be wifey and mama has been no easy task. Hoping that it will only get better with time, experience, and trial and error.
- Been praying for:
   Healing for our nursing relationship.
   Your salvation and for you to be a strong and brave leader.
   Your wife and my role has her mother-in-law.
    Wisdom to raise you the way God has commanded us to.

I love you, my first born. It seems like yesterday that you were still growing inside me... Now you're 2 months old!!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your blog! I am also a new mommy and I'm loving it! My baby girl is two months old, I'm also breast feeding, and I'm starting to try cloth diapering! I'd love to ready any advice and what type of diapers, inserts, etc...you use! God Bless you and your family!
