As hope dwindles....

I am home alone while Jen is in Minnesota...
It is not fun. I miss her tremendously. I miss the baby. It is almost surreal knowing that I am a new father and haven't even been around the baby that long.

I am sometimes motivated to do a lot of things while they are gone.... but that motivation dwindles throughout the day as I get anxious for her return. *sigh*

You'd think we were used to this by now, with all the 'apart from each other' nonsense we have experienced in the past.

I am sorry. I can imagine how much you miss her. I'm glad she will be home this weekend. I know you have a lot of tough things to deal with in your life and will continue to have them, but I am so glad you have Jen to share your life with. I believe she truly loves you. Besides all the other great things about her,I think I love that the most. I don't care that she is not perfect (She's not!?) as long as she loves you and you feel loved, that's always enough.

Gerald Shepardson has passed away.

Jennifer is a bit preoccupied with assisting her sister with the formalities of the passing of a loved one, so I hope I don't do any disservice to his memory by writing this blog post. Gerald, Gerry, or Papa Bear as Jennifer lovingly called him, is Jennifer's father. I believe he passed away on June 24th, 2008. He was 80. Grandpa Shepardson was a very talented man, a concert-level pianist and very intelligent. He did a wonderful job of preparing Jennifer to marry me, because he loved music, photography, thrift shopping, "STUFF", dry humor, bad puns, reading, sharing the knowledge of his passions, and sarcasm. I love him and was sad to hear of his passing. I'm not sure if I expressed to Jennifer my admiration for her father, but I certainly hope she knows that I have always felt him to be a kindred spirit from the day I met him face to face. We love you Papa Bear! You will be missed.

OK I know 4 months isn't really very old...but I am sad that she is growing up at all! I am having so much fun with her! She is happy ALL the time. There is nothing better than being woken up to her talking in her bed in the morning. She doesn't roll much yet - mostly when she is mad. But it's coming. She is VERY strong and it probably won't be long before she is sitting on her own. YEAH!! Isn't she just dang cute!! (I realize I am a bit biased....I say this often don't it) LOL

Her first solid food.....well kind of solid

BEFORE THE FEAST: AFTER THE FEAST: Jilly had her 4 month doctor's appointment today. She weighs in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. (45% of average 4 month olds) and is 25 inches long (80% of average four month olds). She is tall and thin.....not a bad way to be. :-) So after her check up (and the shots - poor thing) the doctor said she was definitely ready for cereal. So we came home and gave it a try. She wrinkled her nose a lot and everything came out at least once before she figured out that she should swallow it. But she was (is) dang cute doing it!! So, now we have a new fixture in the dining room....the high chair. YEAH!!
