Jackson is at the perfect age and I would love nothing more to than to freeze him right in this stage. I love hearing the new words he discovers, chasing bubbles with excitement, and kicking his chubby legs and squealing at the mere sight of a tractor. I love to see him push his tractor and make noises across the floor. I love for him to reach for my hand and lead me to the pantry where he then says "cookie". Right now he loves ME and chooses me over all others. I know this will be short lived. I think this is so special because Lilly has always loved me, but her Gran and Grandaddy just as much. When I am gone he calls for me and laying in his crib he has begun to call "Mama". Not something I am used to and makes it so hard to leave him. He can be so loving, but full of little boy mishcheif.
Lilly is also growing and it sure makes me sad, but so proud. She has slept in her own bed by herself for about a week now. (I am knocking on wood) Lilly sleeping with us never bothered me, but her Daaddy was no so fond of the arrangement. I love for her to grab her blanket and say "Let's snuggle up Mom". She still sucks her thumb when tired and sleeping and that is just precious. She loves princesses and now can quote from the movies she watches. (I think this is a guy trait!) I am so very thankful to God for two very precious children!
Enjoy these days Dee. They grow up too fast. Ava still wants to be snuggle bunnies and always ask when can we have a mommy, daughter day- but I know in the near future she will be grown and she will not ask me to snuggle and it will break my heart. I just love Jackson. He is a cutie pie and I love when he is doing something he is not supposed to and he says "No"... too cute. love you
