That's all I can think of for now, but I'm very impressed with his vocabulary! Charla's pediatrician said that babies his age are normally saying about 15 words. So, I think we're ahead of the game!
Another month ticks by and sometimes I just look at him and want to cry. He's so. big. And it isn't going to stop....I was rocking him to sleep tonight and was thinking about how he might be doing the same thing with his baby years from now. And that means, I'll be a Grandma. And how weird is that to think about??
Anyway, I'm so glad I get to have him in my life as my Son. He has made me realize that some things in life ARE perfect.
Well said Jessica. And yes, thinking about being a grandma is weird....actually, when I thought about my kids growing up and having kids....I didn't picture me as a grandma...to me, grandmas are old and wrinkly...where I get that from I don't know, cuz mine were never wrinkly lol. Now...I AM a gra....well, a mamaw! It is so strange to see your kids having kids...but....no greater joy or pride since the birth of my own :D I still don't understand the phrase "if I knew grandkids would be so much fun, I would have had them first" cuz I'm telling you, I love Logan and I haven't met him and yes there is something special about that relationship, but I'm here to tell ya....my kids were my world and I had fun being their mom. Makes you stop and realize how much God must have loved us, cuz there is no way in this world I would have given my son up for anyone especially the torture he endured...no siree! I don't think I understand THAT perfect love!
ReplyDeleteI look back at the videos and pictures and memories of you growing up and remember you waking your dolls to pieces and telling them to "BE GOOD!" and saying..."wow, Jessica, I hope you don't treat your real babies that way when you get bigger!" lol you would just look at me and laugh. I watch you (well sorta) through fb, being a mom and how much joy you have and how happy he is and realize the baby/little girl/teen/woman I have watched grow up....is a wonderful mom. Jordan will be proud to show you off to his friends "this is MY mom" I love you! Keep being the great mom you are! Aunty Deb
ps...this started out to be a short note! Sorry, I got carried away!
Awwwww...You totally made me cry. I love you too and no, I can't imagine giving my Son up for anyone. Being a Mommy is the hardest and most special job in the world and I'm so glad that I get to be one!
