Loving the job!

It's been a month since I have had a chance to post... I have been busy with my new job and my family life! The job is a breeze...no stress, only 20 hours per week, and just enough challenge to keep me interested. This is the job that I have been searching for and I can't believe that I finally found it!

My baby boy turned 10 months old on the 6th. He has 6 teeth, he stands up and cruises from place to place holding on to the furniture. He weighed 19.4 lbs and is 29 inches long at his last Dr's appt. He is such a joy in my life I adore him! He's finally displaying a lot of personality, and is getting a little easier to care for, although he is a handful....we had to install the baby gates to keep him out of my kitchen and dining room! There was a little bit of sadness the other day when we took his mobile off the crib...he had begun pulling on it. That was the last of the "newborn" things in his room, he's growing up so fast now!

Christmas is coming up- and I am looking forward to it...but I still haven't put up my tree- I'm afraid of the baby getting into it. I will probably put it in the dining room outside of the gated area. We HAVE to have a tree...it's his 1st Christmas after all!

Another little piece of news... I have FINALLY arranged to have the baby baptized- it's technically called a "dedication" in the Protestant church. We are having it on Dec 27th - 2 days after Christmas. My sister will be able to be here for it, and she and my brother will be the godparents. I'm relieved to get this done- it's been weighing on me that he hasn't been blessed in church. My Hubby wasn't too happy with the idea, being that he is Jewish, but I explained to him- if you're not practicing, it shouldn't matter to you, And isn't it better for the baby to be blessed anyway? We told my in-laws and so far they seem ok with it. They aren't religious either, so my justification holds. I also reminded Hubby that we didn't get married in church and he promised me back then that the kids could be baptized. I think he figured I'd never go through with it. He doesn't realize how deep my faith in the Lord is. He wasn't raised the same way I was. That's ok, my son will learn from me. I have no problems with teaching him anything!

Anyway, this has to be short and sweet...baby boy has woke up from his nap and I have to go get him....

That's it and that's all for now....!
