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 :-)

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!

My Life as of Late
So many incredible things have been going on in my life in the last couple of months that I don't even know where to begin, and I have a feeling that they are only going ot get better! In January Wendy and I decided to put the past where it belongs, behind us, we got together and had a playdate with all of our kids. How awesome is it that Sienna had a chance to play with both of her brothers and her sister all at the same time :-) It was a good oppurtunity for Wendy and I to get together and scope each other out. Turns out we have a lot in common and we really hit it off! I'm SO happy that we hung out, we had such a good time that we decided to keep it going and make a habit out of getting the kids together. After we hung out a couple of times we realized that we made great friends, so I'm happy to say that Wendy and I are now good friends! I can't even put into words the difference in Sienna now that we all get along so well, she's like a different child, and I'm happy that I have a new friend. Wendy and Blair are so kind and Carson and Calista are the cutest kids, Christian LOVES playing with them! Sienna turned 8 March 2nd so that meant that we had to start planning her baptism. After many late nights and long days the big day finally came, it was yesterday. Wendy, Blair, Chris and I put in so much hard work to make sure everything was just perfect and I must say the day turned out pretty amazing! We are so proud of Sienna she is turning in to quite the young lady! She had such a fun day. It was fun to see all of her family together and just to see all the love everyone has for her, she is such a lucky little girl! Christian will be 1 on the 23rd and I just can't believe it, it makes me feel like crying, I kind of wanted him to stay my little baby forever! My nephew, niece, mom, and little brother will all be here next weekend for spring break so we are going to have a house full but it is going to be so much fun and I'm SO SO excited! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures and after my much anticipated spring break with family I'll be sure to post more!

Labels
means everything to me! I married her daddy when she was 3 years old, to her I am Blythe or momma depending on the day :-) and I have always left the decision of what she wants to call me up to her. The way I see it "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" I don't need a label to know how much she loves me, I feel it in her tender hugs or her thoughtful gestures and in every good night kiss. She has 2 little brothers and 1 little sister that she loves dearly, I could never put into words the way she interacts, loves and takes care of them, seriously it's something I feel privileged to be able to watch. She has been getting so stressed out lately when she has to try and explain her situation to people she looks at me almost heart broken and asks "what are they, my step brothers and sister?" "no" I reply "they're your brothers and sister that's all anyone needs to know". I hate how society has to put such labels on everything, I mean I understand people get curious but really what does it matter? She has 2 moms, 2 dads, 2 brothers, 1 sister, and so much family that love her it's incredible. She is just surrounded by so much love and I hope/pray that it will be enough to get her through the times when she's questioned and looked at differently because she has such a big family. I know when she's older she will realize how lucky she is to be able to have twice as much love than most people. But how can I help her now when she's so young she doesn't really understand? I just love her so much, I hate to see her sad and confused, I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep her happy and make her life as easy as possible!
