Tuesday Toddler Tales~Who Are You?

Jackson got a haircut yesterday (I'll post a pic later. He's sleeping right now.) and all I could do was look at him and wonder when he got so big. We were at Nordstrom today and the make-up lady was having a full conversation with him. I didn't have to translate the babble for her or help him. He just talked away. I LOVE what stage Jackson is at right now. Yes, he is "testing his limits" trying to see where his freedoms and control lies, but he is so much fun. I just cannot believe what a little man he is becoming. It is incredible!

Being pregnant I keep having crazy pregnancy dreams. All of you who have been pregnant before know what I am talking about. Anyway, anytime I dream about Grady or a baby they all look like Jackson did when he was itty bitty. Even though I love my "little adult" I cannot help but get a little teary-eyed that he no longer has those sweet baby toes, or makes his "duck face" when he stretches, or snuggles against my chest after his morning feeding. He is my precious boy and sometimes I miss the little baby he once was. There is just something magical about a mother and her son.

Oh, I know what you mean. I was just thinking the same thing about Andrew. I was rocking him for his nap and his toes were hitting the wall because his legs are so long they hang way over the arm of the chair. It just seems like yesterday when his whole body fit in my arms.

I hear ya friend. Its surreal how much they change over what seems to be such a short period of time. It makes us sound like our parents who talk about how fast life passes you by. Just think, Jack will be three, Gavin will be four, ELijah will be two and lil Grady will come greet us all this year!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean... Even now that I have another bitty, I still miss the baby C sometimes... She's just growing up so fast. And, not even to mention how quickly that littlest one is growing - someone's gotta tell her to stop it!

I look at Grace everyday and wonder how did she get to be so big. It is truely amazing how they just overnight turn into this little person and aren't a bitty bitty anymore. Makes me kinda sad and kinda happy all together in the same moment. Hope you are feeling good!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
