Callback

Okay, so I know, all mommies think their baby is THE cutest, as they should. Of course, I think Jensen is the best thing ever...and so others could admire his cuteness, I decided to submit his photos to a baby modeling agency here in NYC.

Lo and behold, I am not the only one who thinks this kid is adorable! He got past the first round and they want to see him in person at an "invitation only" open call in 2 weeks. Now, even though I'm excited, I also realize that that doesn't mean he's signed yet, and that even if he did get signed, he may not ever even get a paying gig. But, it's a fun thing to do for now and I'm interested to see where it goes. Right now, it's only one agency, but if they say no, I've already been inspired to put together packets to send to others just to see what happens.

Little shoes

*Sigh* my baby's getting big! I went to get him dressed a few days ago and his shoes (the cutest little moccasin booties) wouldn't zip up! He's not even three months old and already wearing size 2 shoes and is starting to fit into his *gulp* 6 month size clothes!

We have another Dr's appt this Saturday for another vaccination. Last time was not fun, and he was really upset for the whole day-not at all my normal, easy-going boy! Not looking forward to that!

I've also started really doing his nursery as a project. I'm about halfway through painting, and I've collected everything to put on the walls. I feel a little guilty that I'm just starting now, but I was sooo ginormous (now an official word) that I didn't think it would be good for me to try and climb up and down a ladder for painting. Anyway, it's starting to look really sweet and so much more like a boy's room. (The tenant before had a little girl, so the room is a really pale pink.) I 'll post photos when I'm done. I think I'll feel better overall to know that his room will finally feel like his room.

'Sides that, just working on all the normal New Year's goals-clearing off the treadmill, eating better, making sure we make the best attempt to go to church each week....I'm thinking that I might send cards and letters (meant originally for Christmas, but never started) and put them out as a New Year's greeting. I mean, it's gonna feel like a new year for a while, right? So even if they're not sent until next week, I can still count myself on track.

Also, a shout to my friend Kat-thanks for commenting, and I hope you're feeling well after your surgery.
