Learning to write

I've been "home schooling" jack for a couple of months now.

Yesterday and today we've been working on writing his name. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with his writing skills.







Go Jack!

Stella Fey

I have a post all about jackson, so I wanted to do one for Stella (in case you're reading this some day Stella don't think I like jack more)

Where to begin, for one I never thought she was ever going to come out. A week of hospitalization around 26 weeks was awful, but then the 3 weeks I did around 33 weeks was even worse, but I got a beautiful baby girl out of the deal so it wasn't all bad! Even if she was 3 weeks early. She came out perfect and screaming. Lots of dark curly hair (as much as I wish it was still curly it isn't) doctors said to expect a NICU trip but Stella decided she'd much prefer the regular nursery, she spent less time in the nursery then her full-term big brother! Go stellie!

Blogging on my phone has taught me that I need to organize my phone/pictures better.

Add it to the list of things to work on.


A promise to the Internet

I'm fairly certain that the only person who will be reading my blog is Sasha.
But that's ok. Sasha has been telling me to blog more quite a bit. Then one day she stopped. Probably because I never actually did. You can only repeat the same sentence so many times before you give up. I always thought if there was a way to blog from my phone I would be all over that.

GUESS WHAT!
I can blog from my phone. Problem solved Sasha.

Here is a promise to actually make something of this blog, something my babies could make look back on when they are older. So here we go.

my baby bear turns 3

Saturday marks Jackson's Third birthday. Just saying that out loud completely blows my mind. My little tiny baby boy is on the fast track to becoming a little man. My heart breaks when I think of how I'll never have that baby boy fit in my arms as snuggly as he use to. But I can not contain my excitement when I think about all the things he will do and all the things he will see in his life time. I can not wait to meet the man he will become, I'm beyond proud of him already. He is so sweet, smart, charming, and most of all caring. He genuinely cares about how others feel. He can tell if I'm having a bad day and he'll say "mommy, you need to smile. you'll be better" and if that doesnt work (it usually does) he will do everything in his power to make me laugh. He is a funny little boy. He doesnt even have to try and he can get a whole room laughing. He feeds off of the laughter.

In may we brought our little girl home. I had complete faith in my little boy, but still on the car ride home from the hospital I was a little nervous about what this new little life would do to his world. Would he love her as much as we love her? Would he know that our love for him wouldnt change at all? Would he understand that we would love them the same? Would he want to keep her around? Will having her in the house change our relationship with him? From what I understand these are common fears for second time parents. I'd read all about the jealousy issues. I was worried, But from the second he laid eyes on his little sister he was completely enamored with her. he couldn't stop looking at her, or touching her, or talking about her. It's like he was made to be a big brother. Some of the words of wisdom that come out of his mouth almost make me cry they are so sweet. For example he has told stella "You are the prettiest girl I know." he has come to me and said "I'll never go anywhere mommy, stellie always needs her big brother." and then when she cries he runs over to her and says "stellie dont cry. Your brother is right here" followed by this song.

"you are my sunshine, my little sunshine.
you make me HAPPYYY when skies are grey.
you'll never know stellie how much I love you.
please dont take my stellie away"

He ran up to me this morning and said "mommy! I need a little brother now."
I think we'll wait a good long while for that, but at least when we bring that baby home I wont be nervous at all.

I dont know what I would do with out him in my life. Everything that Evan and I do in our lives are for him and Stella. I hope saturday is a wonderful day for that little boy, he deserves everything in the world.
I'll be one proud mama this weekend.

now for my favorite part of any blog
