One Year Old

My precious baby boy,
 It has already been a year since you entered into this world...where has the time gone? After long anticipating your arrival, you decided to surprise mommy and come three weeks early! I couldnt believe it when the Doctor sent us upstairs to the hospital to have you...I was so not prepared. But nonetheless, you were going to come and I had no idea how much love my heart could hold.  In the beginning we had some rough issues with jaundice and breastfeeding but a month passes and you were an old pro! I could tell right from the beginning that you were truly a mommy's boy...and there is nothing better. The moments we have shared are priceless. The moment you began smiling and saying dada and mama you just lit up our lives in so many ways!
The best part about it all is how much you love your big brother! There is nothing more precious than to see you two interact now that you are getting bigger. You scream when Hudson takes something from you and even though mommy may be in the other room, i know that distinct scream! lol. and of course I rescue you :0) Your brother is wonderful with you most of the time and I can see already that you are going to have a very close relationship. Your personality is something else! You are stubborn and funny and just so darn cute and you know it! You get away with more than your brother did and I just dont know why? You stand up on the couch and I say "sit down!" and you give me the most devious grin and stay standing and all I can do is laugh! Then of course after I laugh, I take the couch cushions off and put them on the floor so if you do fall, you wont get hurt.  What example is that setting??? Ugh! In some areas you have me wrapped around your finger! Ill admit it.  At the same time I realize we need to reign you in a bit :0) or you will give us a run for our money!!
I love you to pieces and you are now officially a toddler! I look forward to enjoying the next chapter of your life and I thank the Lord for sending you to me. There couldn't be a more perfect gift that he could have given me on February 26, 2009. Just as I am constantly reminding your brother, I will tell you everyday..."you're special and I love you"

Love always,
Mommy

Another wedding day...

My precious boy wants nothing more in life but to marry his mom! Yes...some of you may be thinking that is just gross! But hey...he is only three and I am going to enjoy it while I can! Someday he is going to fall in love and I will not be the only girl in his life anymore!

We were on our "date day" about a month ago and I had to go to khols. He saw the table filled with rings and he was So excited! "Mommy!!!!! Look I can get you a ring and we can get married!!!!!!" I just took it all in and let him pick one out and I will cherish it forever!

It just reminds me how pure and untainted our children are! It makes me just want to keep him sheltered and under my wing forever. This is a cruel world...how am I going to do it?

Step by step

We have about three weeks until brodys first birthday!! Yesterday my friend came over with her little boy who was born the same exact day as Brody! It's so fun to see them together! Her little boy was a walking pro!!!! Brody just kept looking at him like "oh....that's How you do it!" Lol it was too cute! My friend got him to take two steps while she was here and he has been trying to figure it out ever since! This morning he took three steps! I'd just keeps standing and trying it! I can't believe the time has come. It's bitter sweet!

Well I better go get caught ur on laundry. Yuck!!!!!
