First Mother's Day!

Brooks made this for me at church, it was so sweet!

Brooks with Grammy and Pappy. They love this little boy so much. Two of the greatest people in this world. I pray every day you will be able to remember these 2 people. They have truly been a blessing to me and have blessed our family in so many ways. They love you more than you will every know along with their other 9 great grandchildren.

Loving on Bett. We love you and had a great day with you. Thank you mom for being a great mother. I love you so much.

Brooks with Grammy and Bett

To wonderful little boy! Thank you for making me a mommy! I love you and can't imagine life without you!

Well I was on call for my first mother’s day, but thank goodness, I only had to work for 2 hours. My mom and grandparents were able to come over and spend the afternoon with us. It was so great to be with 2 of the greatest women I know. Growing up I always dreamed of the day that I would have my own child. For those of you who know me you know that, I love children. I spent many of my high school and college days babysitting, not b/c I had to but b/c I loved being around children. It is so hard for me to believe that I am now a mother. I have so many mixed emotions about being a mother. I worry that I will make mistakes as a mother. I am scared for what lies ahead for him in this world. It scars me to death to think about all the things in this world that could hurt him. I use to think my mom was crazy wanting to know where I was all the time and asking me all kinds of questions and now I understand. Some things I love about being a mother.
- walking in to day care and Brooks seeing me and his those big brown eyes looking up at me with a big smile and him starting to cry if I do not hurry up and pick him up.
- the way he reaches for my face when he is real sleepy and wants to rub my face
- Going in to his room in the morning and seeing that happy face
- Knowing that no matter how bad my day is I get to go home and play with my happy little baby boy
- Listening to my little man laugh out loud when his crazy momma sings silly songs to him
- Watching him play in the bath tub
- Watching him and his daddy in the mornings and knowing that I have a great husband and baby
- Last but not least Having the most perfect baby boy a mother could dream of. I never knew how much I would love this little boy and just how perfect he would be.
THANK YOU GOD FOR BLESSING MICHAEL AND I WITH JUST A PERFECT CHILD!

Thank heaven for this little boy! Michael and I are so blessed to have this beautiful heatlhy baby boy! Look at those eyes!!

2 of the greatest boys in my life! I love them both so much and don't know what I would do without them!

Brooks giving Jackson some sugar! I'm sure it won't be like this next year! They will probably be fighting!

Look at these 2 handsome boys!

Daddy and Brooks

Wow!!!! Where has all the time went. This time last year we were preparing for this little angel to get here and thought it would never happen. Now time is flying by and he is growing so fast. He is such a good baby even though he has his moments at time usually when it is nap time or bed time and we do not have his bed. This is the biggest problem we have with him. He does not like to be rocked to sleep. He wants to be put in his bed and left alone. Good in some ways but so sad in others. He sleeps all night long. Usually goes to bed around 730 or 8 and sleep until 63o or 7 the next morning. His first word is Da Da!! Ugh!! I tried so hard for Ma Ma but it did not happen. Oh well. I know he still loves me and it made his Daddy happy. He is trying to crawl. He can scoot across the floor. Just figured out today how to get on his kness and rock so I figure he will be everywhere in the next week or so. Michael and I were watching him in the tub the other night and both got so sad at how much he has grown. He doesn't look like a baby anymore he is starting to look like a little boy. SO SAD!!! We are truly blessed to have such a happy little boy and do not know what we did without him. Sorry I have been a bad blogger lately but baseball, work, and a baby have taken up most of my time the past 2 months. Hopefully I will do better.

notice his outfit is soaking wet! Come on teeth!!!
