Jonah my love...



Sweet boy!  Your getting bigger with each day... Your laughter is contagious, your eyes see wonder in so many things, and your emotion for things you love excites me... I'm not sure when I felt you passed that point of needing "monthly" updates, but upon reflection I've realized that I desperately want to capture the everyday moments that make up our everyday lives...  So from this point on, I'm making myself a promise to do so.

Things your saying:
"Remember when I was a baby mom"
"Remember I was born mom"
"Hey, what's the big idea"  thanks Donald Duck
"Where's the groundhog, that's what Thumper says" then we all laugh!
"I need a rocket pop"
"Daddy/Mommy to hold you"
"I want to do it / Jonah to do it"
"I don't like it / I don't like that either"
"Where'd mommy go"  of course this is while your with your daddy

Things you love:
Anything ocean related, especially sea animals!  Love how you say octopus, "octaoius"
Riding you bike "bikazoid"
Ice-cream "ice-eam"


My sweet Jonah...  words can not cover you with the joy that you bring to my life.  God is so wonderful in all His glory... how He's allowing me to experience so much in my life just because of you.  My sweet boy you are the dove that brings proof of what we can not see, however we know that so much is beyond what we see today with our physical eyes.  Thankful that our eyes have been opened to much life because of you.  Love our journey together ~ Mommy

Thoughts from my heart....

The sweet words "night night mommy" from my precious boy spoken every night like clock work, then the sweet kisses left ever so gently on my cheek...
The smell of my baby girl, wrapped in pink, her breath on my chest... thank you God...
The ever so small wet footprints left behind on the bath mat, hours after bath time...
Sneaking in bed while Jonah sleeps, just to hold him close and whisper dreams into his ears...
I love looking into the face of our children, so full of life and wonder... they are so quick to express such raw emotion... reminding me that my Father has asked me to look at Him in this manner.  Father I am honored to be the mother you have called me to be.  Thank you for the love that floods my heart, the memories that will forever be with me... I look to you and my hearts cries praises to you, your beauty is unfolding before me, I am forever grateful!
