I have just about maxed out my usable photo space on Google or something like that, so I have started a new blog. Well, it's actually the same blog, but in a new location...here! Maybe from now on I will resize my photos before uploading. I will keep both blogs linked to one another in case anyone wants to run down memory lane & check out how much our sweet little guy has changed. Happy New Year!! Love Letters from Mommy - Take 2
How lucky am I to be the Mommy of the most wonderful little boy in the entire world AND the Auntie of 3 of the most gorgeous kiddos ever? Pretty dang lucky, indeed!
After another small stretch of being sick with another sinus infection, we have managed to finally get our Christmas tree up. Well, it's up and mostly decorated. It still needs some sprucing up. I had attempted a few Sundays ago to get our tree up and had to stop before we finished because of another severe headache. Thankfully, David & Sebastian finished putting it together then Sebastian and I decorated it when I got to feeling better. I love Christmastime. We have been playing lots of Christmas music, putting out lots of decorations and eating lots of great food. We love snuggling on the couch in our flannel & fleece jammies, watching Christmas movies and scarfing down tons of chocolate chip cookies & milk. I love hot chocolate, too -- with lots & lots of marshmallow creme. That has been pretty much what we have been up to lately.
I have really been neglecting my blog...but for good reasons. That sinus infection that just won't leave me alone and lots of time with my family & friends. My sisters and I went to see New Moon, which I loved. We've been doing lots of Christmas shopping and I can truthfully say that except for one thing, Sebastian is completely bought for. His last gift just needs to be conveyed to Santa ~~
Sebastian has grown leaps & bounds lately. He still amazes me everyday with his charm & wit. He has quite the personality and is very vocal about his feelings. He has a crazy vocabulary for a 3-year-old and I'm often asked how old he is. He is just wonderful, as usual.
Well, that's about all the catching up for now. I've gotta get that crazy kiddo in bed so he can hopefully be a little less cranky in the morning when we leave for daycare. I'll leave you with a few miscellaneous pics from the past few weeks...Enjoy!!
Happy Holidays!!
This year, more than any other, I've realized how thankful I am that we are both working. Although sometimes it seems that we live paycheck-to-paycheck, we do have those paychecks and however big or small they seem, I am so thankful that we have them. I am thankful for Sebastian and how healthy and smart he is. I am thankful that we were chosen to be his parents and that we are able to love him, provide for him, keep him warm & keep him safe to the best of our abilities. I am thankful that he has a wonderful daycare that fills his days with fun & laughter and that allows him to learn and grow when he cannot be home with us. I am thankful for my husband, that he is the father to Sebastian. I am thankful that I can depend on him when I'm sick or feeling down. We have come to some realizations this year in our marriage that I have truly been thankful for. I am thankful for my MOM. She has been an unwavering support for me in whatever I choose to be or do. I am thankful for all of our family & friends who love us and who we can all depend on. We truly have a lot to be thankful for this year. ♥♥♥
Let it take me where it wants to go
You lift my feet off the ground
You make me Crazier Crazier Crazier
Every sky was your own kind of blue
You lift my my feet off the ground
Baby you showed me what livin' is for
You make me crazier crazier crazierWhen I first became pregnant with Sebastian my immediate thoughts were of a sparkling little princess - pink - bows - frill. If you haven't read my blog before, I have 5 nephews and 2 nieces. Boys rule the roost around here. Although my first thoughts were that I really wanted a little girl, I had wanted a baby for awhile and just wanted him or her to be perfect & healthy. I can't take the suspense, so of course, I wanted to know the sex right away. A BOY! I may have had thoughts of a girl initially, but never a second was I disappointed that we were having a little boy. I was more excited than I could ever imagined.
God knows what he is doing. I can't envision our lives any other way. Sebastian is the greatest joy that I could ever have. There is just a bond with him that completely enthralls me. It's just astonishing.
Here are some of the greatest things about having a little boy...
scraped knees
dirty chins
trucks crashed in every room
stained shirts
mud puddles
ripped jeans
grimy nails
climbing everything
rocks in his pocket
dandelion bouquets
smash-up cars

wrestling in the floor
jumping off anything
cars lined up across the room
dinosaur jammies
superhero sheets
crayon on the bedroom wall
footballs
soccer balls
basketballs
hitting golf balls with daddy
tractor rides
diving in leaves
opening doors
"I love you, Mama!"
growls & grunts
chasing bugs
playing monster
jumping on the bed
muddy shoes
camo hats like papa
play guns & sword fights
water all over the bathroom floor
messy hands
dimpled cheeks
peeing behind a tree {haha yes he does this}
guitars & motorcycles
kicking rocks
afternoon walks
blowing out candles
juicy kisses
tousled hair after lots of play
perfect glowing hair
bright blue eyed angel
longs fingers wrapped around Mommy's
ginormous hugs
smelly feet
He'll love no one else in the world like his loves his Mommy!
