18 Months

You're growing so fast!  its impossible to keep up with but we are loving it!  You are talking a ton!  We still don't understand everything, but there a few things that sound the same, like socks, clocks and blocks.  and (a kind of unfortunate one) Jesus and penis sound the same :) I can't tell if Amen and the end just sound the same or if you really do say amen at the end of books too.  I asked you the other day if you were a big boy because big boys use the potty and you said NO NO NO and signed baby.  You amaze me all the time with how much you know.  You've also started saying No I'm full when we ask you what you want to eat.

You started Nursery at church.  So far you cry through the whole thing. hopefully it will get better soon. I think you would love it if you'd calm down and have fun.

You love pretending to talk on the phone, wearing mommy and daddy's shoes, playing with the zoo on fisher price.com, watching toy story, talking up storms, playing with the play school nativity set, honking noses, running around, exploring, playing with blocks and toy tools.

You are currently sitting on my lap giving LOVeS aND HELpINg WRiTE THis>  which is why that sentence got a bit weird. I love you so much!  I'm grateful every day that you chose me as your mom!

The little brother that never was

For the past month or do any time someone would say where's the baby you'd point to my tummy. You've been so cute! You have a little doll I gave you to prepare you for a new brother that you carry around and give kisses to. 

This week we found out your little brother will only be an angel. That we'll only meet him after we leave this earth, and become a family again on the other side. 

As I was breaking down and crying you came over to me and gave me loves, hugs and kisses. You are such a perfect little soul and I know part of your duty here is to help me through this. I'm so happy you're my son. I'm so happy you came to earth to be with us. Thank you for all of your love! 

Love 

Mommy 

15 months

I'm way behind! Today you had your 15 month check up at the doctors. You weigh 24Lbs 5oz you're 32 and 1/2 inches tall, and your head is 19 and 1/4 inches. You got shots and only cried for a tiny bit.  You're so brave

You're talking lots. You say Nana, Grandpa, YaYa, Grandma, sponge bob, light, hot, cold, alligator, juice, cracker, water, pop tart, no, mama, dada, hot dog, door bell... and other words I can't think of right now.

You like to dance, sing, and try to whistle.

and we had a good vacation last month in Michigan with grandpa, YaYa, uncle Brandon and Aunt Brenda, Aunt Katy and Uncle Jon. and Uncle Ryan.
