My Little Man

He turned 7 yesterday. It's amazing how every birthday makes you remember the day they were born more vividly then ever. He was accomidating for a guy who came 3 weeks early. I got to get up at 5am that day after thanksgiving to go christmas shopping with my Mom. :) Then about noon I realized those suttle stomach tightinings I had been feeling for quite some time were porbably contractions. He came into the world at 5:30pm to a very awestruck Daddy(Jeremy haden't been there when Chey was born) and an adoring Mommy. He weighed 6lbs 13ozs and had a head full of dark hair. The most handsome little man I had ever seen. And to this day he still holds that title. Having a son I have learned that there is a bond between a mother and a son that is unlike any other. I don't think anyone will ever love me in quite the same way as my son. I thank God for sending such an amazing baby boy. I thank God for trusting me enough to give me the sometimes overwhelming responsability of raising a boy to be a man. Happy birthday to my baby boy! Mommy loves you.

Birthday presents and my new friend

We had cake and ice cream for Alissa. She didn't care that we were the only ones here either. This age is so easy. :) We also met another SAHMand had a playdate at the zoo then the park on Alissa's birthday. She had a ball playing with Brody. Here are pics of all the birthday events. Oh ya, after wanting the Dora bike so bad she won't even get on it. She's too short and can't reach the ground when she's on it and in her own words, "I scared!"

My baby is three!

It's hard to believe but my itty-bitty, tiny 5lb 6oz baby girl is now a 24lb head-strong 3 year old. They grow up way too fast! I so miss those baby days of snuggling with my tiny girl for hours, feeling her breath on my neck, watching her sleep and thinking how perfect she is and how amazingly blessed I am. I still think she perfect and I certianly still think I'm blessed but the days of peaceful baby snuggling are now gone. :( She's still just as amazing as she was the day she was born. Dylan has even grown to love her despite the fact she wasn't a brother. Somedays though I sure long for those baby days. I long to hold my baby for hours without her screaming at me to let her go. Never did I imagine when she was born that she would be so bossy and stubborn! She was suspose to be my good kid. :) HA! She's just as rotten as the other three. And still I love her so much that my heart is overflowing. Happy 3rd birthday to my baby girl and to her birthday buddy Ethan who was born the same day. Big hugs to Ethan's Mommy who was my bed-rest, drug hating buddy. There no one I would have rather shared it all with! Love to you all!
