Huge Summer

Summer time is time for a kid to be a kid. Before you know it though school is starting and you are looking at a child who is now at least 4 inches taller and talking about legos and Star Wars and games he is playing on the WII. However, when you look back on the Summer your child seemed to develop in to this person while you were left standing still. This summer was huge in our house. For one Jacob learned how to swim in June with out flotaion devices. Which pulls from the heart string. Okay one major thing okay I can deal with that. But then in July he told me he didn't want his traning wheels on his bike anymore as he could do it like the other kids. WOW! Then a week before school starts back up he comes to me because he learned something new and is excited to show you. I stand and watch as he unties his shoe and ties it back. I hold back tears and tell him how proud I am of him. He just beams with enthusiasm. So in one summer my baby was turned from a little man to I can do it I am a big boy sorry mom. If only I could shrink him down to a baby again and start all over!

Most amazing sound!

When I tlak to A on the phone I can always here Jadon in the back ground gibbering and he always trys to talk on the phone and the most I have ever gotten was Hi or fish! But still they are great words when you haven't heard him talk. Well the other day we were talking about his birthday and she put him on the phone and the Hi this time was super clear. Then......He said luv you! My heart melted! I couldn't believe that he was telling me that he loved me! They were the greatest words ever and so heart felt. So when I see him Saturday I am hoping to teach him my name! One day he will talk up a storm but for now I can hear it over and over and my heart will still feel like its the first time.

Tomorrow is his 2nd Birthday

It's hard to believe that two years ago today I was in labor, and that tomorrow I would give birth to an amazing little boy! Last year I was a little tough for me, so this year I am taking the day off and staying home. I have all day to get what ever it is out of my system. Because Saturday morning I am meeting him for breakfast! Which I am on cloud nine about. I haven't seen him since April and in his pictures he has changed so much. We are going to the zoo for his birthday which I hear he is in to animals so this should be a great trip! My friend S has offered her shoulder so that if I need one it will be available. She is so great! I got to talk to A today to get final details about the trip and also about how she is with her little man growing up. I am glad I can talk to her when I need to about this little guy!
