The simple things

I'm trying to make it a point to capture something every day in our lives worth blogging about. Already this morning Trey has "colored" me a beautiful picture on the frosty window. He begs to color every morning, and I usually tell him no so we don't let the cold in, but I realize it's simple things like this that someday we won't want to do and I will miss! So color away Trey! 

And here are some big smiles from yesterday that are always worth remembering :) 

3 months already!!

Holy Moley time is flying! Can't believe this handsome little guy is already 3 months old. It's been such a blessing having these smiles come into our home.

Date day!

Today started our very first monthly Trey and Mommy date :) 

We started at the library where we picked up some Clifford books. He made sure to tell all the nice ladies that we were on a SPECIAL date.

Then we headed to Walmart to get some popcorn and a redbox... We got sidetracked when I got a bloody nose in the bathroom for about 10 minutes (which translates into an eternity for a 2 year old... Especially when he is scared of the automatic toiled that I swear could suck you right in when it flushes every 30 seconds!) When we finally got to the checkout stand he insisted one of those giant suckers that I already know will be a sticky red mess all over my couch come movie time, but that's ok :) it's our SPECIAL date!

Next up was lunch at Rupes! He got to tell the nice waitress what he wanted for lunch "ALL his by-shelf" a corndog with Fwench fwies and lemonade. He loved riding the motorcycle while we waited for our food, and we of course topped off lunch with a swirl cone. 

Last but not least, we hit up the quarter machine and got a stretchy yoyo! It was a perfect little date with my favorite 2 year old :) I sure do love getting to be this kids mom!

After all that play and no nap... We sat down to read and Clifford had him down for the count by 6:00pm :)

Moments like these

"Just eatin drowberries and watching kitis george!" 

It's moments and mispronounced phrases like this that I know I'm going to miss so much some day! Trey is growing up right before my eyes and I love watching it happen.

Happy to be a momma today!

Love this

These texts always seem to come at just the moment I need them, and make my whole day better. 

Love/Hate

Kanon,

It's 6:09am and you have been asleep since 9:30pm. This is the first time you have slept through the night in your short 8 weeks of life. And although I am grateful for the full night of sleep. I have probably checked at least 6 times in the last hour to make sure you're still breathing :) Mommy paranoia is a love/hate relationship. Even in the littlest thing like 9 hours of sleep, I know this is one more tiny milestone you just reached and it makes me realize all the more how fast time flies. I have loved watching you grow even for just two months, and sometimes wish I could stop time for you and your big brother. I love letting you be little, but find so much joy in watching you grow also. Thank you for coming into my life so that I can watch, snuggle, worry about, and love you.

Sleep tight sweetheart,

Love Mommy
