4 and half Months and one bottle of hand sanitizer later...


Last night I was doing some cleaning and reorganizing in Owen's room. So far we've changed out a ton of containers of wipes, we've changed bed sheets and put away his crib bumper, put away his newborn clothes that he's outgrown...we've even put away clothes he's outgrown since then. Last night though, I realized, the hand sanitizer on his changer was empty. When we first came home Jer went to Target and bought 2 HUGE bottles of hand sanitizer. He bought two figuring we'd go through it super fast. Obviously we chose wisely b/c our $4 bottle has gone quite a long way. Funny as it is for some reason in that moment, I realized how far we've come. That bottle has sat there since the day we brought O home. And last night it was empty and I threw it in the trash. Don't get me wrong, I'm not attached to a silly bottle of hand sanitizer. It's just another step that proves how time is passing. My baby is already over half way to 5 months old. 5 months! Nearly half a year old. And it seems like yesterday when we brought him home and showed him his nursery for the very first time. I remember those first few days of changing diapers and getting up every 2 hours to feed him. Now he sleeps in 9 month PJ's, fits into 12 month shorts, eats 4 bottles a day along with real food and sleeps all the way through the night! It's amazing how much changes so very very fast. Because this got me reminiscing, I attached some pics of him from our first few days together.
