Jacob is now over 4 months old and he has had the privilege of having Valerie as his mother during that timeframe. He could not have asked for a better mommy. Every day, I am amazed at how wonderful a mother she is and how naturally it comes to her. No matter how much is on her plate, her dedication to Jacob is a priority whether she be healthy or ill. She is the type of woman who, no matter what she is doing, is always thinking of her little man. Jacob is so very lucky to have someone like her always worrying and watching over him. I absolutely love to watch his little smile grow when he sees her and know that even at such a young age, he already has a lot of love in his heart for her.

Our handsome little boy is now 4 months old and it seems like he is growing so incredibly fast. He isn’t just bigger size-wise, but it seems like every day he discovers something new that he can do. Most recently he has started rolling over onto his tummy (despite hating tummy time) and flipping back. He is also discovering his toes and hands, grabbing at all kinds of toys (and Mom’s hair).
Jacob also spent his first night away from home with Grandma and Grandpa Gonzales. He did very well! I think mom and dad missed him more than he missed us. He is so easygoing…I can’t believe how lucky we are. There are more exciting milestones coming soon. Between now and six months he will be starting solid foods (baby foods), sitting up on his own, and maybe even growing some teeth!
David and I are so grateful for our incredible little blessing, that we will be doing a child dedication at our church soon. Jacob will grow up with good Christian values and morals, and learn to show gratitude like we are learning. It will be a special day for us all.
