My little bundle of yumminess

Boston is now 5 months old! I am in awe... I keep blinking and time if flying right by. I have taken on a new managament position at work and don't have a lot of time to update this anymore, but here are few pictures of our happy little boy.

Boston is now:
  • Rolling over every time we lay you on the floor
  • you love your feet- they go right in your mouth once we are changing you/dressing you or even in the tub
  • have been teething
  • had your first real cold-not fun
  • eating cereal
  • have now tried eating bananas
  • wearing 6-9 months clothes
  • sleeping through the night :)
  • loving baby einstein, your jumper, books, any toy that makes noise and lights up
  • so happy and energetic
  • trying to scoot and crawl
  • loving to stand up
  • grabbing anything and everything and shoving it in your mouth, especially my hair or necklaces

I just love love love being a mommy!

Please Read : Baby Jack

Over the past few days, we have received some heart breaking news. My brother-in-law, Jake was expecting his first child with his ex-girlfriend. She was scheduled for a c-section on the 12th of January. He received a phone call on the 5th of January from Whitney. She told him that she had the baby on the 29th of December and had given him up for adoption, WITHOUT his consent. She put on the adoption papers, she didn't know who the father was, but in reality actually did. She was with Jake the night before and had been in communication with him the entire time. She led him to believe that they were raising this baby together, with joint custody.

Now, we have a heartbreaking situation for two families. Jake is devastated that he doesn't have his son, who is now a week and half old, to hold in his arms. Our family is devastated for him especially when we get to see Boston all day long, and just think of all of the precious time and memories Jake has lost with his son.

Jake is fighting to rightfully get his son back, but it is going to be a long and sad journey, for us and for the adoptive family.

Jake has set up an account at AMERICA FIRST CREDIT UNION, under the name Jake Michael Strickland, to help with the legal costs. This is going to be a long and expensive battle, but Jake is willing to do anything and everything to get his son back. If anyone would like to donate that would be greatly appreciated. Everything will help with this legal battle.

Please keep Jake, his family, and the adoptive family in your thoughts and prayers. There will be no happy outcome for one family.

We love you baby Jack and can't wait to meet you!
