Yesterday was another wonderful day as a mother- I can honestly say that- because I love this beautiful boy so very much! I can't imagine a life better than the one I have, and I was thinking that as I was trying very hard to put my little guy down for the night and he just WASN'T having it! So as he was crying and flailing around trying to get out of the "fall asleep hold" I had on him, I was looking around the room and thinking, 'There is honestly no where I would rather be, than right here, right now.' Do I deserve to be this happy? Definitely not! But I am enjoying every second of it anyway! I know without a doubt that it is God who has blessed me with such a wonderful life, family, job, friends, and everything else! I have so many things I am blessed with, and I just needed to sing my praises on my blog!
I was reminded this week that I definitely do not give praise to my Father enough, and I am ready to remedy that situation right now! I'm trying my hardest to make sure that reading my bible happens daily, and I did it today... so that's a good start! (Ha, no one is perfect!) My praise music is blaring at work, and I couldn't be happier!
Another blessing definitely worth mentioning is the fact that my little guy is ALMOST ONE! WHOA! I am so excited for every day with him, and so excited... and sad... that he is getting so BIG! He started crawling right after Christmas and now he is standing with almost no help, and is taking steps with help... and it makes me want to cry and laugh and sing all at the same time! I've never felt this love before, but I just want to cuddle him forever so he gets that I love him with every fiber of my being!
We've definitely had our ups and downs, mostly our downs being that Karson is not much of an eater, and especially when he is sick every few weeks, he eats even less.... so I struggle with the fact that my little baby is not a chubby one. My family loves chubby babies and seeing my skinny little guy makes them say, "Feed him more!" Well... I do! But he is not one for eating. It took me awhile, but I think I am getting to the point where I realize there is nothing I can do to change it- it's just who he is!
My son is also a social, beautiful, mischievous, helpful (or so he thinks :-)), and so very smart child! As soon as he hears me doing dishes, he crawls really fast over to the dishwasher and proceeds to try to "help" mommy with dishes! He is super funny and cute as he does that- and now I resort to doing dishes really fast... and when I see him crawling crazily towards me I rush to put the rest (or as many as I can) of the dishes into the dishwasher and close it before he gets there! It's a marathon, but it is fun.
At daycare, my little guy gets awesome attention. And when you are that cute, why wouldn't you? A couple months ago he moved from the Young Infant room to the Mobile Baby room, and he seems to be loving all the new toys he can play with! The best part is that he always finds a favorite teacher, and in fact one of the teachers that is a float will always come to find him at different times in the day to give him snuggles and love, and I absolutely love that! There are goods and bads to daycare, but that is one of the many good things about daycare- he gets used to meeting new faces, and he has lots of friends and love!
My life may not go as planned- I don't have the house, I'm not debt-free, and I'm not a SAHM (Stay at home mom), but I love my life and that is all thanks to my God!
