"Momma Mafia"

I know "Momma Mafia"...kinda cheesy, but a fun way to embrace this wonderful time with great friends! Two of my close friends just had baby boys! Just another 2 to add to our growing play group! No joke...there are 12 of my friends that have babies all within months of each other...11 of them are BOYS!! We have our own football team! The number 12 is quickly growing as we are meeting so many young mothers! The more the merrier...I am loving meeting so many people! So, if you know me...you know that I am always "planning" something! As you can imagine, I am having a BALL with all my friends and babies. We are always walking together, having a Bible study, "pot luck" lunch, play date, or on the phone asking each other bogus questions. Needless to say...we are the MOMMA MAFIA! Our bond started off tight and is only getting stronger and stronger (kind of like the mafia!!) We can always count on each other and we are a little "crazy!!" No one messes with the Momma Mafia...or our babies!! hehehehe ;)

Ahh Haa!! I am proud to announce that Hunter's GRUNTING has become minimal!! Don't get me wrong- the boy can still grunt...but the amount has greatly reduced. Happy Mommy! Hunter is "talking" up a storm. If you don't look at him- he will talk louder and louder until you look at him and smile- attention hog! His smile is huge and is usually followed by a laugh. His laugh is priceless! Other new discoveries- he rubs his eyes, holds toys, pulls mommy's hair, and doesn't "poo" after every feeding- again, Happy Mommy!

One of my new favorite things...Hunter's stretch!  Arms over his head, back arched, head back, eyes tight shut, toes flexed, knees straightened...a full out "big boy stretch!" SO cute! If his stretch could talk, it would say, "Why am I awake?!" Heaven forbid I wake him up at 9:30 to start the day!! The kiddo loves his sleep...uh oh, do I see a grumpy teenager on school mornings in the future! He still wakes once during the night for a feeding. I am looking forward to this disappearing...all in good time;)

Scott and I are having the time of our lives. Each day is better than the last! I can't imagine our journey getting any better. I am starting to appreciate and laugh at the "bad" times too...being new parents really is funny sometimes! Live and learn!!!
