I'm bald

I have no hair left! I started losing my hair 5 months postpartum this time. I'm not sure why, but I had a delayed reaction to childbirth. Last go, I lost my hair immediately following birth. Weird, right? I feel like my hair line is in the middle of my head as I have slowly, but surely lost a full head of thick, shiny, nice hair. Sigh! I am so sad. It is growing back, but at a snail's pace speed. I now have a nice spikey do up front where my long bangs once resided. Motherhood just gets sweeter and sweeter.

Josh is almost 7 months old. He's growing by leaps and bounds and doing something amazing each and every day. He is "talking" more and interacting tons. He loves his big brother and you can see the admiration in his eyes as he takes in all Jacob does each day. One word for that combination, Trouble. He is rolling all over the place. He is rocking on quasi-all-fours. He's scooting around the floor and getting himself wedged under coffee tables and chairs. He's crawfishing, as we like to refer to it, and scooting backwards under things. He's always happy. He laughs and smiles. I have been caught telling most of family and friends that "we forget we have him sometimes". I don't mean that in a bad way. No. He's a joy and lovely to have around. He's just so easy and quiet compared to my first born who has been a mover and a shaker since the day he evacuated the uterus. Joshua is more my pace. He reminds me more of myself. Jacob reminds me of Mr. Big on speed. Really. No joke. Joshua continues to nurse like a champ. He is eating solids twice daily, but still prefers Mommy's milk over regular food. He is my sweet cuddle bug. I get lost in him every day!

Jacob is 2 and a half going on 10. He's so smart. He teaches us things. Like the day he watched Animal Planet and knew the names of animals we didn't even know existed. He can count in english and spanish. He knows his alphabet. He can spell his name, first and last. He actually has a few jokes and has a great sense of humor. He cracks us up! He is just so honest and open. He tells you everything you want to know and much, much more. He's tempermental at times. What two year old isn't so I've been told?! He's just a roller coaster of emotions. He loves chocolate milk and doritos. He loves to rough house with Daddy! Those two can play for hours running around the house tackling one another and laughing. I have always said I don't have two kids, I've got three. That meant in a good way. The kids are keeping us both young. Jacob is and always will be my baby boy. He's so delicious!

So, even if my hair falls out I still have my kids. I love each of them so much. They are so different, but yet so alike. I love being a Mom and I treasure each moment I spend with them.
