100 Things I Don't want To Forget About, But I'm Afraid I Will

Christian is now 2 and a half years old and I can't believe how fast the time has flown. It's crazy to me how he is transitioning from my little "baby" to my little "boy", sometimes I feel like it just happened over night... Anyhow I was reading other mommies blogs and a common theme among them was just kind of updating the world on the amazing things (to each and every mother of course) their child was doing this month, I begin to think about all the things Christian has been doing that I love so much and decided to blog about them in hopes I never forget :-)

Christian is such a mommy's boy it's ridiculous, I wanted a girl SO bad when I first found out I was pregnant but I'm SO thankful it turned out to be a boy, we are so close that there are times when I'm positive he would choose me over the world. He has an extremely funny personality, he LOVES to make people laugh and he is really friendly, he says hi to every person he sees (which sometimes makes me quite nervous) and he calls every single old person grandma or grandpa. He has a GIANT imagination, he is always pretending to talk to people on his imaginary phone, his conversation is usually the same "Hi, umm okay, love you, miss you, bye!" and he's usually talking to either uncle Jeremy, grandma, McKenna, or Wendy. Sienna is still his very best friend in the whole wide world, he is like a different person when he is in her company, she is seriously an AMAZING big sister, I could not ask for a better role model for him.

He is always singing, the little neighbor girl asked Sienna the other day "does your little brother ever stop singing", good question little girl, I'm not sure he does :-) He loves to sing "I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee" and at any given moment your likely to find Chris, Sienna, or I just randomly singing it because he always gets it stuck in our heads. He eats a TON but only if he's eating off his dad's or my plate, for some reason ours just tastes better... He loves to ride his bike outside, I can't wait until he actually discovers his pedals are for pedaling, I think he'll like riding more which is saying something. When I ask him how much he loves me he spreads open his arms and says "SOOOO big" and it melts my heart every time. He's absolutely terrified of the garbage man, he cries to be held every Thursday morning when the garbage man comes (this really mistifies me). Whenever he's amazed by something he says "OH MY GOSH!" in the cutest little 2 year old voice I have ever heard. Whenever I am holding him, especially before I put him down for bed, he's always playing with my hair, I think it's one of my favorite things he does, it's so sincere and endearing. There are a million more things that I just can't think of right now, hopefully I can remember to write them down as they come to me, time just flies by so fast it's easy to forget. I am really enjoying watching him grow into this beautiful, creative, fun loving little boy. I love that he speaks sentences and that he is so kind and funny, I am such a lucky woman, I love being a mother!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

    Christian is now 21 months old and time is just flying! I can't believe that it's already the begining of a new year, I swear it seems like just yesterday I was giving birth to him. Last night as I was getting him all ready for bed he kept saying and doing the cutest things, (he always gets really funny around bedtime) so I decided that I would get on here and write them down before he grows up some more and I forget :-) Or maybe when he starts to throw his tantrums I can get on here and look at this to remind me that he can be sweet and funny... Either way here it goes, a list of some of my favorite things that Christian does:
1. He loves when I ask him where his body parts are but I have to be careful when I ask him where his nose is because if I'm close he'll shove his finger up mine.
2. Every morning when we get up I ask him what he wants for breakfast and he says "suck it?" which is how he was taught to say sucker (thanks uncle Brandon).
3. I rock him to sleep every night and he has the cutest bed time routine, first it's give daddy kisses, then Sienna, next comes uncle Brandon, and last but not least is mommy. Sometimes he's being stubborn and wont give one of us a kiss so I'll take him to his room and then he just hollers for whoever missed the kiss to come in and collect, but he WILL NOT sleep unless he kisses everyone good night.
4. Every morning he grabs his sippy and heads straight to the couch for cuddle time with me, we usually watch sponge bob, I'll be so sad to see this habit go!
5.He LOVES our dogs, he's always trying to cuddle them and he says "hey puppa"
6. He is always pretending he is one of the dogs, I can not keep him out of their kennel to save my life!
7. He has quite the vocabulary. He is just like me and loves to talk!
8. He loves to jump especially if it's with the jump rope
9. If he loses something or someone he throws his hands up in the air and says "Where'd it go?"
10. At night he'll only sleep if his head is snuggled deep in the crevice of my neck if I pull away from him he'll tap my cheek and say "momma, momma" then he gives me a kiss so I'll put my head back.
11. He is so affectionate, this is another thing I never want to see go.
These are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there are a million more, I'll add them as I think of them. I have never known such joy than I do as being a mother, I feel so blessed to have the kids that I do, they continue to teach me more and more about myself everyday. I love you Sienna and Christian!
