Mommy's Birthday!

Today you are sick. Today is your mommy's birthday. Today has for sure made me realize more than any other day, that I am a mother! And I have loved it! I got a call at noon today that I had to come get you because you had thrown up twice at daycare. So, I went and got you. You spent some time at school and then we headed home. Where we snuggled and hung out. Your daddy had made plans for us to eat dinner together at the Country Club, however, since you were sick we had to cancel the plans. But that was okay....it made me realize that no matter what day it is - I am a mom and you come first! And I really loved it!
So, I guess thanks for getting sick so that we could snuggle and spend extra time together on my birthday! BUT, I hope you feel much better tomorrow and you don't get sick anymore!! :)

You have been doing so many awesome things lately. I think all the time, I need to stop and blog about that. But I don't. So, hopefully I can remember the cool things you've been doing!

You are understanding us so much more lately! You respond correctly when we say: lets go, take it to mama/dada, give a kiss, baby, eat, outside, night-night, Go to Eliana's room....that's all I can think of right now.

You are sayng: mama, dada, baby, woof, oink
You are signing: please, more, bye-bye

You of course have been blowing kisses for FOREVER! However, you have gotten REALLY good at giving kisses on the lips! :) You gave Grandma-Great and Grandpa-Great a kiss on the lips at church on Sunday! You were so sweet! My favorite day was about a week ago, I picked you up from Jodi's and you leaned forward all funny, so I looked at you and you found my lips and gave me a kiss!! It was so, so sweet! :)

Today, there was some trash in our living room. So you picked it up and took it to the kitchen, directly to the trashcan and threw it away!!! I couldn't believe it!!! You're so smart! :)

You are obsessed with shoes. I have to put your shoes away in the closet right away or else we lose possible shoes because you enjoy playing with them. You also like to pick up my shoes and put them on my feet! And yesterday we caught you putting your daddy's shoes on! It was so cute! :)

You can also clean your face with a washcloth!! you're so cute!! :)

I can't believe how much you've grown and learned in the last month! You continue to amaze me!!
I love you!!
Mommy
