♥ DAY!!!

My ♥ bug!!!!  He was sooooo cute in is Walmart Special shirt yesterday.  He is such a ham and I am so blessed.  I am blessed to have an awesome husband and a loving son.  My two favorite boys in my life!  God is amazing and is always faithful.  

Yesterday we went to dinner with all of our friends and Lando's girlfriend, Maddy, was there.  They were so cute together and sat across the table from each other.  We sat them together for a few minutes and they were holding hands and giving each other "forehead" kisses, it was the cutest thing EVERY!  I hope everyone had a blessed loving day yesterday!

Let Go and Let God!

Can I put him in a bubble?

"From the mouths of little children and infants,
    you have built a fortress against your opponents
        to silence the enemy and the avenger." Ps 8:2

As I sit here and read about the tragedy in Newtown, CT I can't help but cry and think about my baby.  I knew parenting would be hard, but this is not something I thought of.  You'd think that sending your child to school, ELEMENTARY at that, would be a safe place for them.  I recently have been volunteering and teaching a kindergarten class and I can't imagine someone coming into that class room and killing everyone in there.  It's almost like a bad dream, who would do such a thing.  How can someone look at those innocent children and do that?  I found myself thinking of alternatives for schooling for Lando when it's time for kindergarten.  I know I can't put him in a bubble and keep him all to myself, but I wish I could.  This situation is so horrible and so... so... I can't even put it into words, this has really hit home for me  

I scream inside asking God "WHY?".  God has reminded me that we are not of this world.  He gave us free will, free will to go against Him or free will to run to Him.  My prayer last night and today is that everyone will RUN to Him, RUN TO JESUS!  I pray for God to minister to those that need it, and I pray I get to meet those innocent children when I go home to my Father, right now they are dancing on the streets of Gold and it is a beautiful site!

Ps 18:2

LET GO AND LET GOD

God's timing...

“Is he walking yet?”  Can I get a t-shirt made that says “No I’m not walking yet!”  I try and try not to compare my son to others because all children develop at their own pace.  He has been advanced in some areas and not so advanced in others.  It makes me want to scream NOOO HE’S NOT WALKING; HE WILL WALK WHEN HE WANTS TO!  But of course the Jesus in me doesn’t do that.  I politely say no not yet, in his own timing.   

Which makes me think about God’s timing, it’s so often I find my self praying for God to hurry up and help me with this or hurry up and help me with that, that I forget all to often it is HIS timing.  Not mine.  I have to remind myself that sometimes God’s answer is wait or even no.  God is our heavenly Father.  He knows what is best for us.  Who are we to go against what He tells us?  

Just a little reality check, for me at least, this morning.    

LET GO AND LET GOD

Walking.....?

Okay we are 2 weeks away from our 15 month check up. At his 12 month check up Dr. Gregory told us he should be walking by his 15 month check up......we'll we're not. I know he will walk when he's ready but all his peers are walking and I feel like he would have so much more fun if he did. Should I be worried, no, am I, a little. I guess just first mom jitters.

Let go and Let God!

First Birthday!

First birthday!  Yay!  I officially have a 1 year old now!  Wow, time flies!  I love him with all my heart and soul.  Yesterday WAS CRAZY, toooo many people, but I appreciate everyone who came out to celebrate my little munchkin.  He had a great time seeing all his friends and family and loved every second of his party, well almost every second.  He didn’t like the fact I pushed his hand into his smash cake.  I had to he wasn’t touching it and I wanted him to GET IN IT!  LoL!  But he ate it once someone started spoon feeding it to him.  He got a lot of toys and clothes but I think Mama liked the DIAPER GIFT the most!  Thanks to @NixonsWonder for the DIAPERS, they really know what this Mama needs most!!!

I feel so blessed to have the friends and family I have and cannot wait to see what this next year brings us!!

CHKD

6-30-12 Okay this was not our "first" chkd er visit but our second (our first visit we ended up w/ HFMD, Lando and Da-da) and my poor baby... He has bronchiolitis, he's been coughing and runny nose and tonight was scary. He wasn't breathing well and he was wheezing. So scared but not wanting to overreact we called the nurse and she said bring him in, not only was it a bad thunder storm outside but the power was flickering. We brought him in and they had to put a tube in his nose down his throat and pump saline in and suck all the mucus out. BLAH! My sweeting was crying, not only b/c im sure it was uncomfortable but b/c 2 nurses and daddy we're holding him down, plus it was 2am.

7-16-12 okay I totally did not "publish" this last post, so its kinda late....but yeah this was our first real emergency. Let go and Let God! (Which is what we did :)

Sorry

Hey now!  It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, Thank You to NixonsWonder for reminding me :) 

Well since February, yeah yeah yeah I know, there have been TONS of firsts!  I probably won’t name them all but I’ll try. 

First and foremost Mama and Dada went on our first out of town weekend trip and left Lando with Lola and Lolo (g-ma and g-pa).  We went on a weekend getaway to Atlanta and had a blast.  I was sad the first night and cried but hubby knows how to show a girl a good time and helped me spring back into vacation mode!

Lets see, ah yes, Lando has four teeth now, 2 top, 2 bottom.  He is eating chunkier foods now, but he still has a little bit of a texture gag.  He loves finger foods!  Anything he can pickup with his fingers and put in his mouth he loves!  Last night we gave him a slice of lemon and he was sucking away at that badboy!  He’s my little garbage disposal!

We are still not mobile yet.  No crawling or walking.  But we are trying to pull up and can climb on Mama and Dada for the most part.  In a way I want him to crawl because EVERYONE else’s kid is, but then again I don’t have to chase after him, so I’m okay that he’s not mobile yet! 

That’s all I have right now, hopefully I won’t forget to keep blogging and have more updates soon!

Let go and Let GOD!
