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!
