Mommy's Office Helper

As you can see, he has pretty good control of his head now. He can hold it up for long periods of time. He's starting to get picky about how he's held. No more cradling for him, especially if there are other people around. He likes to sit up & watch. So, it's a bit more difficult keeping him occupied while I'm at work. I have plenty of toys for him, but he just wants to be nosey.

Terrez and I are doing great. We stay busy all the time. He even started drinking coffee to keep him up through the day. The next couple of months are going to be even busier since we have teams coming down back to back until October, and we have to supervise & translate the activities they do with the kids. We've had a lot of changes with the children too. We've lost a few who decided to leave and gained a lot. It seems like we get a new child every time we turn around. It may have always been like that, but maybe I'm just more aware of it since I work in the office & file the paperwork.

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was great. Even though Jeremiah can't really do anything yet, it still was special. The pics are from that day. He's growing up so fast. For the past few days he's been rotating himself in bed so that he's in the opposite direction from where he was first placed. One morning we woke up to find his little foot poking out between the rails. I guess it's time to put up the baby bumper.

Doctor's Appointment

Well, Jeremiah's a normal sized baby. He's 12 & 1/2 pounds and a little over 23 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for both weight & height. The doc said he's showing signs of allergies & eczema, so we have to be extra careful with what he's around, what I eat and make sure to keep him out of the heat. The last part in easier said than done in the middle of Honduras. Other than that he's healthy & changing by the minute. He can almost support his head on his own. He can hold it up, but his neck still gets tired after a while. His personality is showing more. He just loves when Terrez sings or dances & squeals in delight. And now he bats at things close to him. I know that means that soon enough he's gonna try to grab my food while I'm eating :(
