Blessed

Lately I have been feeling a big mix of emotions; I think the timing of Mother's Day played a part in these feelings.  Mother's Day morning I was overwhelmed with feelings of joy, happiness, and gratitude as Josh came into our room with my happy smiling boy.  They were standing by my bedside wishing me a happy mothers day with a hot veggie and ham omelet and fresh fruit (my kind of breakfast).  As Josh left the room to go feed Kason...I followed behind them to join them for breakfast. I wanted to have breakfast with my boys, not eat by myself in bed! 

Josh is VERY busy with working and getting his MBA, yet he still makes spending time with Kason and I a priority.  I am soooooooooo grateful that I get to be home with Kason.  I am equally grateful that me being home with Kason is equally important to Josh.  It is hard to express how blessed I feel to have Kason in our lives.  Although being a mamma brings about new challenges and is a 24/7 responsibility, I embrace these challenges and the responsibility.  Every challenge and responsibility is WORTH IT.  My mom and dad always said that you won't understand the love of a parent until you are one.  This is so true.  

Even though I absolutely love the age Kason is right now, I am a little sad that he is growing to fast.  Kason is so much fun right now.  These are the words I would use to describe him: curious, excited, smiley, personality, focused, cuddly, determined, mellow, happy, crawler, water baby, smart, and of course adorable. He is going to be 9 months this week, which is hard for me to believe.  

I just try my hardest each and every day to slow down and enjoy the moment.  

Laugh when Kason spits food all over making us late to the gym (we will still get there). Take advantage of an extra snuggle and kiss when he poops 2 minutes after I put him down for a nap (he will go right to sleep after a diaper change, kiss and squeeze).  Put off dinner and laundry a little longer to play (we will eat and we will have clean clothes...eventually).  I don't wanna look back on this time and regret not living in the moment and soaking up all the love, joy and happiness that my baby boy has to offer!

 This little green froggy finger puppet is his new FAVORITE toy.  He digs it out of his toy basket and crawls around with it like it is his BFF! Hilarious!
