I'm a little sad

So tomorrow Matt leaves for Colorado. I have to admit that I am a little jealous and I am trying not to be. Part of it is that he gets to see our friends that we made while we were Winter Park. I had hoped to be able to take John to see everyone this winter, but because of the lack of sick days, I can't go. I know that they would love to see him because they were there when we found out and they were with us for the majority of the time that we were pregnant. I know they would love to meet him.

I must say that John's new sitter Jewell, is awesome. Ever since John has been going there, he has babbled more and more. It is hilarious. Sometime he moves his mouth and nothing comes out, but it looks like he is talking. Then all of a sudden...he will start making these crazy sounds like he is trying to put words together. I love it. I could just listen to it all day long. I have been whispering "Mama loves John" in his ear. I am bound and determined that "Mama" is going to be his first word. Today I walked in and he was just sitting on the floor, holding his bottle...all by himself!! He is getting so big. This past week, he has become more and more mobile. He has started rolling all over the place and he does a little scooting. He does this thing, like he is going to do a sit up. His face is so funny when he does this because he looks like he is trying so hard.

Another thing I am thinking about tonight is my friend Sarah Beard. I miss her a lot. We always try to get together...but our schedules are so busy. I wish we could find more time to spend together. One thing I do love about us is that when we do find time for each other....it is fabulous. I truly feel like she is the sister I never had. I know that I can tell her anything and she will hold me accountable. I truly love her and I hope she knows how much she means to me.
