We bottled the amber bock last night and are now patiently awaiting it’s arrival in our fridge.  In the process I was forced to finish my bitter so I would have enough bottles.

I will be beta tasting the bock later this week and will be researching how to make a good wine because my and BEER mom’s 2nd anniversary is just around the corner.

My amber bock will be about 6% alcohol when it’s ready.

I brewed some amber bock this evening.  Now let’s just hope it will look as nice as the Amber Bock pictured when it’s ready.

I haven’t talked much about what it’s like to be a new parent so hopefully the title of this message will get the point across.  Parenting is awesome.

First, I should update that Kaden had his 4 month doctor’s appointment the other day.  He is now 13 lbs 9 oz and is 24.5 inches long.  That’s a huge improvement since he was born, but still places him in the 25th percentile for his age, or at the size of a 3 month old.

As for parenting, I was looking forward to being a parent, but never expected it would be this amazing.  If you have a child, you probably remember what it was like the first time you saw him or her, and every moment after that until they grew up.  Laura and I often have trouble putting him down because we don’t want to miss a moment of his adorable smile.
