Brody Jaxon Update:
Brody is now 17 months old and he is the sweetest little boy that I could have ever been entrusted with. I can't believe how much he has accomplished in seventeen short months! He walks and talks and keeps up with his brother really well these days. Everyday he says more and more words...and believe me, he makes himself heard! I guess that's what it is about the second child. He has always had his brother to compete with for our attention. Although I find that whenever Hudson isn't around, Brody is lost. He just doesn't know what to do with himself! They fight over toys...I am actually hearing screaming at this very second. But I am always confident that Brody can stand his ground. He isn't the type of child to just get run over by other kids...he will show them who's boss! I admire that character trait in him because I believe it is something that I lack. Of course I will need to shape that trait so it doesn't get out of hand, lol. On the other hand he also has this sweet personality that makes me just want to eat him up! He is and always will be a true mommy's boy :) Darn!
Hudson's Update:
Hudson has matured so much this past year. My little boy will turn four in August and I just have no idea where the time went. He will be starting pre-school...amazing how time flies! Hudson is at such a fun age right now. We have been so busy lately but I always try to take time to have a "date night" with him, just the two of us. We are long overdue for a date...when the time comes, I'm taking him to the movies! Just about two weeks ago, he learned to ride his bike without training wheels! That was such a big feat for him. He just kept saying "Are you proud of me, mommy?" Always looking for our approval...typical first born (I know from experience). He is sweet and an absolute WONDERFUL big brother! He always is concerned about Brody and hates when Brody has to be disciplined. He loves Jesus and is constantly asking questions. The other day he asked me why Jesus died on the cross? So I asked him why he thought. He said..."He died to save us." Which is correct but of course I could tell that he wanted more of an explanation than that. So I went on to explain that before Jesus died on the cross, people couldn't just pray to God for forgiveness of their sins. Then explained what a sin was and the conversation just went on and on and on. It was such a blessing to be able to have that conversation with my son. It brings so much more clarity to my christian walk. It's amazing that we technically are teaching our children....but they teach us so much more.
As for an update for our family in general...as you can see, I haven't blogged in FOREVER. I have been working more at the law firm and have been bartending at my dad's restaurant a lot in the evenings. Our lives are busy...I like to be busy but I wish that we could live a bit simpler. Maybe one day :) Cheerleading will start soon and my days at the restaurant will dwindle. I just try not to think too far ahead or it's a bit overwhelming. Andy and I are going to a wedding in Boston this weekend and I am truly excited to get away, just the two of us for a few nights. Not sure how Brody will be but my mom is the next best thing to me so I am going to try very hard not to worry about him and enjoy myself.
I guess that's it for the Ahart's at this moment! Maybe by some form of miracle I will begin to write on here more often ;)
