Christmas Day

Well this year was your 3rd christmas!!! This year is when it starts getting real fun! About a week before xmas we took you to toys r us and you saw the toy car, "mack" from your Cars movie. We wanted to buy it for you right then and there but we knew that the right thing to do is buy it behind your back and save it for xmas. You kicked and screamed and we had to drag you out of the store... You were so mad at us for not buying it! Little do you know... If you want something WE WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU! Your innocent self has no idea of this yet! Now seeing your face on xmas day was another story. You lit up so ,uch when you opened that gift... that was the best gift your dad and I could have ever experienced.

its funny, because this week has been very stresssful for me... between all the wrapping, shopping, preparing all the food, etc. I was telling your daddy how hard it is to be a mom. And how when I was a kid life and xmas was so fun and easy!!!! Well, being a mom is VERY hard and tiring but it is even better seeing life through your eyes! You are my EVERYTHING and youmake any hard work worth it!

When you get in trouble!!!

So... when you get in trouble, I scold you then you get your pouty lip, cry, and usually put your self in a corner for a few seconds.... After just a few seconds I go and get you and tell you what you did was bad BUT that I love you sooo much. I then say can Momma have a kiss now. 

Well now, when you get in trouble you do your pouty lip and not even a second later you are kissing my lips a million times....

Why are you soooo adorable!!!!????

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!!

Timothy,

First of all Happy 2nd Birthday! I seriously can NOT believe you are 2!Time has just flown by! I think back 2 years ago.....

The day before your birthday, I went into labor around 10pm. I stayed up all night with horrible contractions. Pacing the house, walking, and hurting! it was pretty intense pain! By about 5 am I could not take the pain and I was tired! We packed our bags, I took a shower, said a few prayers, and got ready to leave for the hospital! No matter how much people try to prepare you for having a baby NOTHING can prepare you! I HAD NO IDEA how much my life would change!

So long story short.. I labored all day and finally around 7pm started to push you out... You got stuck and at 1033pm you were born by emergency C-section :( I was upset that you were born by a c-section. I felt that my first duty as a mother ( to give birth to you) I had already failed at! I was so disappointed in myself even though there was nothing I could do.... Its weird I loved you and cared about you that much already that I wanted you to be born the most perfect way! After a long night of me being in the recovery room and you being sent to the NICU for having a fever, tachycardia, and some meconium in your airway, I got to hold you. Oh,man! that moment was pure love! I was sooo nervous, I cried my eyes out holding you for the first time! You were so perfect in every way! Then I got to feed you right then and there! That was so wonderful for me to give myself to you and feed you. When they say LOVE at first sight it is really true when looking and holding your first born!

So on your 2nd birthday, I celebrate my love for you and your life! This is what you have been up to.....

Wear 3T clothes
Nap once a day but you fight to go down!
Sleep good 12 hours but you have to say goodnight to all your toys first!
Love your snacky foods, and also spagetti, pastas, cereal, oatmeal, eggs with cheese, yogurts, fruit!
Playing with such imagination.. love your cars, trucks, boats, airplanes. You also like little people farm animals, and books.
You really like songs and music. Your favorite is.. the wheels on the bus ( you call it beep, beep) or old mcdonald (you call it moo, moo)
You talk soooo much now! Commom things you say. ... eat mas papa, mas show momma, mas moo moo, please momma, thank you momma, you say dadda, momma, riri, bindi, nienie, park, truck, snack, apple, slide, airplane, boat, juice, doggie, basically you can repeat EVERYTHING we say. You say bye, bye to everyone and everything. I feel like this past month has made your talking take off! You are so social and I love it!
Everyone says you are so well behaved! Especially at restaurants, you sit so well and just play with your toys in your high chair!
You love going to the park, jumpstreet, out to eat, nanas, grandmas, really anywhere! You love being out and about!
You love taking a shower with your daddy and play in the shower with your trucks.
I feel like you are now such a boy instead of a baby. It makes me sad but also so proud of you.

1. Your daddy and I will always love you and each other! We will always be together!
