I have an 18 month old!

I started this earlier this year right after my son Little Dude turned a year but I never posted it. I changed it up a bit for him turning 18 months.

It always amazes me how quickly a year can go by. It seems like yesterday the doctor place my sweet son on my chest for the first time. He was (and still is) so beautiful & precious and I knew we would always have a special bond. That was not my first thought however...just being honest. My first thought was, 'where are his eyebrows??'.  After cleaning him off the nurse told me that they were there but very blonde. Ok, ok I could now breathe and enjoy my baby. It's funny what things come to mind soon after giving birth ha ha! I totally thought I had made a baby without eyebrows and was scared that we would have to tattoo them on. Moving on, now that you know I'm a complete weirdo.

This past year with my son has been magical. I just love everything about him.
I wrote ^^that^^ six months ago. A lot has changed..oh yes...a lot has changed. Little Dude is cute, funny, silly and CRAZY! I never knew a child could be so nuts. He gets in to everything, climbs everything, screams about everything. He has this blood curdling scream that makes you feel like you're going insane, like I wish I lived in a 2 story house insane. I hope to get it on camera soon to show him one day down the road when he doesn't appreciate me. He can break through any and all baby proofing products. He's so smart it's scary and he is talking a lot which is fun. I will add that most of the time he is this fun little guy toddling around the house laughing and playing with his older sister. Little Dude loves his baby Sweet Pea so much and covers her his sweet kisses. He's a blast...so glad I had a boy.

Summer is over :(

Well, summer for us is not over considering it's 106 degrees today but school starts up later this week. My hubby is a high school math teacher.

I should have know that my husband's first day back at work would go like this. First, Wild Girl (almost 4) watched a YouTube video of 2 animated cats while I thought she was playing her ABC game on my iPhone. There was a pink cat and a purple cat and the purple cat was killed by a meteor hitting it and sending it to the sun. She kept saying "mommy, they were having so much fun, they were best friends and then the purple one died!" between sobs. I have never seen my little girl so heartbroken, especially over a 3 minute cartoon. So I held her and we both cried and grieved for the little purple cat together. It was so sad but cute at the same time. We shared a bowl of popcorn and watched an episode of Doc McStuffins and all was well...for a couple of hours. Then Little Dude our 18 month old decided to fly of the couch and hit his mouth on our wood floors. As most parents know, the mouth bleeds a lot. About an hour after that, Savannah had her first accident in a year and Little Dude decided to play in it, splash around and put it in his hair. Yuck.

What have you done today?
