I just had to do a Rewind post today because I ran across the cutest picture of my chubby baby from exactly 2 years ago today!!  When he was that small I would always wonder to myself what he was thinking about.  Now that he's beginning to speak more I can sometimes get a small glimpse of whats going on in his mind.  On more than one occasion he'll ask for or tell me about a number of things; brushing his teeth, prayers, doggies, books, school.. pretty much anything that pops into his mind at at that moment.  I am very much looking forward to my baby growing up and sharing with me everything and anything that is on his mind, even if its about brushing his teeth. 

The irony is not lost in the fact that I chose to do a Rewind post on this day of all days. Always on this day, for the rest of our lives we will rewind at least once.  We will all take a moment, even if not aloud, to think back to where we were this day 11 years ago.  One day Little will come to me and ask me about the stories he hears and the specials we watch about September 11th.   I will have to tell him what happened and do my best in answering the "why's" that will follow.  But the good thing about this is that I can also explain to him the light at the end of this tunnel, that even when all seems lost there is still a glimpse of hope that we by nature possess.  I will tell my son to remember that day, say a payer for those families and to always embrace that hope like so many people did that day 11 years ago.

They don't even look like babies anymore, how did that happen so fast?!  This Sunday we have our session for 2 year photos with Tia Lorri, which will be more proof that my baby is now an actual little (tiny) boy.  Still Im very excited about getting his pictures taken, but less excited about what I may have to bribe him with to get him to smile.  I miss my little wiggle worm baby, does this sad/happy feeling ever go away while looking at baby photos??

With only 2 more days til Little's birthday party, Im pretty much in party/scramble mode right now.  Just finishing up a few last details like checking the grocery list one more time, going over the to do list and crossing off the projects that I didn't have a chance to get to.  Today Im printing out the photos above for a small photo banner, so guests can see how much this guy has changed.

The ole laptop is giving me more and more problems as of late, so thats why I've been a little behind and lacking in the photo department.  Hopefully, Dada can take a look and see what the problem is so I  can get back to adding awesome photos of Little once again!!

Btw: look at that adorable baby, he has grown so much!! I honestly don't remember him being so chubby and squishy.

Rewind

With a big birthday around the corner Im becoming very nostalgic these days.  Little changed so much that first year and even more the second year.  Lately we've been trying to teach him how to hold up 2 fingers instead of 1 when we ask "how old are you?" and he almost has it down.  All I can say when looking at the photos above is... Isn't he the cutest baby you've ever seen, really?!?!!!

This time last year...

 

                     

   

Dada and I lived in the smallest apartment in the world when Little was born, but we loved it dearly.  Yes it was a bit cramped, the walk from the car garage to our actual apartment was ridiculously long with labyrinth like hallways and the bats that came from the bridge a couple blocks away flew by our window at night. But it was the first place we called home, it was the first place Little knew as home and that made us very happy. Especially because we had a pool right downstairs, in Texas heat that is a very good thing!  This picture was taken last year this very day (May 10th), Tia Linda brought Squish over to take a dip and relax on a very sunny day.

Squish is very photogenic (a gene she did NOT get from me) and in this picture she is 6 mths to the day, what a cutie!  Little is 10 mths here, I don't remember him being this chunky though!! I just thought Id rewind a bit since I came across these photos and wanted to share this day.  A day spent with my sister, my Squish and my Little.  Things always seem so simple when I look at pictures of these two crazy babies, everything that I ever worry about just fades away. Possibly because I remember that its just about these 2 little people, making them happy.  Giving them days like that day; laughing, playing and enjoying each others company.  I always think of Squish as my own daughter and I feel very happy that she and Little have each other, even if one day they can't stand each other (teenagers...sigh).  Yes I get very nostalgic when going through pictures, I think it runs in my family which could explain why every female in the family has a huge photo album of some kind!
 
Tomorrow (hopefully if there are sunny skies) Dada and I are taking Little to SeaWorld for the first time and Im really excited!!! I have to say Im super excited to go to the Market for a few Mama things as well!  I can't wait to share photos and stories of our Family Mini-vacation (thats what Im calling it)!

While Im still getting the hang of this blog world, I am planning some fun things around here for the future!  Please stay tuned!!
