Life just seems to go by too quickly these days. Motherhood is amazing...but I feel like time just flies by and I can never remember all the cute/crazy/sad/happy and wonderful moments that take place throughout the course of a single day. Like the way Jentri looks in her little helmet on her bike peddling as fast as her little legs can go, and the way Bostyn gives that big baby grin every morning at 6 a.m. Cody, myself, Jentri, and Bostyn all traveled to our house in Utah last Monday to take care of a few things before we close on it this week (YAY! no more renters and worrying about our house in Utah!) Going back there made me feel a little sentimental. It reminded me of Jentri's "baby days". I left a vinyl quote on the wall when we moved out and our renters left it up as well. It says, "We don't remember days, we remember moments". It made me think of all the wonderful moments that have happened and continue to happen that make parenthood so amazing. I just always want to be able to remember those moments and hold them in a place in my heart forever.
Jentri has changed and grown so much just in the last month since Bostyn was born. She loves to be my helper with Bostyn, until it is diaper changing time. When I asked her if she wanted to change Bostyn's diaper she informed me that she is "just the sister, not the mommy" and that one day she will be a mommy and be more than willing to change diapers at that point. Jentri is her happiest when our little family is all together. When we are all home and Cody or myself volunteer to run to the store for something or grab a movie she breaks down. She insists that all four of us must go together. She always requests to have a "family night" or "movie night". Jentri has some serious spunk, but she is so sweet and loving as well. When she was a baby she LOVED my eyelashes. She would play with my eyelashes to get to sleep. Now that she is older she has moved onto just rubbing my face with her hand. She is a SERIOUS cuddlebug! Jentri loves to play with her dolls, babies, Strawberry Shortcake, but she loves trucks and playing motorbikes with Ryder too. She is also obsessed with the garbage truck...funny, I know. For a little while she kept requesting to have a garbage truck birthday party. She has now moved on to Strawberry Shortcake. But every Thursday morning when she hears the garbage truck coming she runs out and watches it and waves in complete excitement. Cracks me up!
Little Bostyn turned one month old on the 12th *tear* The cliche, "Where has the time gone?!" is running through my head. She pretty much slept through her entire first month, but the last few days she has become more alert. I must say, she is a completely different baby than Jentri. She rarely cries and if she does it is because she is hungry or just needs some loves. She is spoiled for sure, but that is okay. She loves being held and talked to. I'll be honest, I spoil my kids. I hold them and snuggle them and rock them to sleep every night. But the way I see it, they are only little for a little while. One day I will really miss these days. Bostyn is also very smiley. She already has such a smiley, happy personality. I can't wait to see more of her personality come out.
