Inspiration

I am addicted to Pinterest for recipes, crafts, school activities, etc.  I was looking through my board titled Inspiration this evening and some of the quotes I pinned brought a tear to my eye because of the special gift that God placed in our lives 15 months ago. "2013 will be my year!", "Sometimes all you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best."  and "Sometimes we have to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life waiting for us." I pinned all these sayings while trying to wait patiently for the placement of a baby. I didn't foresee my life taking this course when I was younger, but everything has truly worked  out for the best...I couldn't be any happier at this point in my life!

Going Fast!

Some things to remember from the last 3 months...

* You are 26 pounds and almost 33 inches long. 

* Some of your words...ball, nana (banana), mama,and bubble.

* You know where your head, ears, nose, mouth and belly button are located.

* You have learned how to pet Trixie instead of tormenting her. 
* Your favorite book right now is "Dinosaur Roar"...you are quite the "roarer" too. 

* You have conquered sippy cups.

* You are a picky eater, but love graham crackers, yogurt, beans and franks, fish sticks, and fruit. Not a fan of meat. 

* You had your first haircut and I think you need another one. It is growing so fast!

* You enjoy My Gym on Saturday mornings and moved up to the 14-24 month class. 

* You are shy around adults you don't know or haven't seen in awhile.

* You still have an oral fixation. It looks like we have dog with some of the items you have chewed on. Yuck!
* We bought a zoo membership and you love seeing all the animals! 

* You are starting to sleep to almost 7am on weekends! So happy!

It is hard to believe our little guy is 15 months! We are having so much fun with him...watching him grow and change is amazing! He brings happiness to our family with his smile and laughter, but he can be a little stinker at times too. He challenges us like every toddler does. We are trying to figure out what is best for him as we move along this journey called parenthood.
