Why Litttle Boys melt there Momma's hearts.

I love my son more everyday! Yesterday was not my finest hour. I fought with myself pretty much all day, trying to remind myself that when the daily grind seems to be overwhelming and boring not to mention monotonous that doesn't give me a reason to be ill with the little bit. So as one thing after another seemed to be going poorly I eventually vented on an innocent bystander (who happened to be an ambulance driver that is my next door cousin-in-laws aunt...confusing I know) Anyway I made a total ass of myself. Not a good day for me.
So I was determined to put all that behind me today. Not let the family neighbors drag me down today. And, with a little help from my little man I did. I had so much fun enjoying him today. I tried to stop what I was doing more, just to sit and play with him. I realized how much he has changed in just the past few weeks- he can RUN now...he's climbing up things (the reverse doesn't work yet!)...he can sing IN HARMONY with the radio... he has figured out that his pants go on his legs not his head, which was the norm for the past two months! He is always smiling, and laughing, bringing me little "treasures" that he finds. I can not help but smile when I see his face, he has brought back my heart's joy. I was a little sad over the fact that I no longer had a baby in the house when Daniel started toddling around, I am so far past that now! Watching him dance everywhere he goes, and seeing his face light up every time he catches himself before falling down actually makes my day now! I am so proud of this little guy.
It is also great to be noticing the similarities between him and his daddy. They have so many of the same expressions, especially the little brow crunch while thnking really hard about how to "do" or "fix" stuff. Hillarious. I am loving them both so much right now.

Yay for babies

I am very excited for my friend Natalie today... She is a new momma for the 5Th time over! I am actually a little in awe of her, and somewhat inspired. She and I have been best friends for 20 years, and only had a few falling outs over the years...a miracle really considering how head strong Iam. I would do anything for her and I know she would do the same. There are not many people I would say that about, and even less that are not blood relatives. I consider her to be my saving grace sometimes...she is so special to me. I can not wait to meet her new little one, Lily who is 1 day old today. I know she is beautiful just like her Momma!

My most precious accomplishment...Daniel











He was so tiny!
This was his first rain shower...











I am in awe of how much he has changed in the past
year! These first few months were so challenging, I didn't
realize then how much I would miss having a itty bitty baby!








Soon I will add some recent photos.... I just needed to reminisce
