With the holidays around the corner

Hello all....I'm so excited for the holidays this year. We have a lot planned. Apple picking this Sunday, pumpkin patch on the 9th, a spookfest on the 16th and our 2nd Annual Kids Halloween party on the 29th! I'm also shooting a Christmas mini session on Nov. 5th! Here is a little preview of a Thanksgiving card we are sending out to our fertility doctor....we always want her to know how thankful we are for her!

It's been too long

Okay, I'm going to write this to Jax....

Dearest little boy,

I haven't had a chance to update your blog because you keep me very, very busy! We had your 15 month check up and you weigh 22 pounds, 2 ounces and are 31-3/4" long. Your tall and skinny. You got 2 shots, one in your arm that hurt you very bad. I was sad. You have 15 teeth and 1 more about to pop. You like all foods, especially yogurt, fruit and fruit snacks. You eat like a bird. You drink 3-4 glasses of milk every day, and 2-3 glasses of diluted juice. You walk and run, run, run! You are just starting to climb on things, but haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet. You say mama, dada and ball. You know what fruit, milk, and juice mean. You point at everything, hoping we give it to you. You make a mess all over the house, love to play in your play room and are completely obsessed with the roomba. You love the TV, specifically Blues Clues, Jacks Big Music Show, Dora the Explorer and Fresh Beat Band. I read 2 books to you every night, a random one and Your My Little Love Bug. It's your favorite and you grab it for me when I sit down. You occasionally make me cry, only because I look into your eyes and see so much love, innocence, happiness and heart. I love you so much, I don't even comprehend it. I never knew that a feeling like this existed, until I looked into your eyes. I want you to know that these last 15 months have been the best moments in my life. You are so amazing, I know that you will have a wonderful life ahead of you!

Love you mucho,
Mommy

What an amazing year!

Well, what can I say? This has been the best year of our life! Jax now walks, runs, has 8 teeth (popping 4 molars), does So Big, gives Hi 5, eats people food, drinks whole milk,and keeps us on our toes! At his 1 year appointment, Feb 14th, he was 30", weighing 21.4 pounds. On his birthday, Jax, mommy & daddy went to Toy Story 3 on Ice. We had front row and Jax was in heaven. We had lunch at Pepes and then some family & friends came over to sing and eat cake. Jax's big birthday party was yesterday, Feb 19th. We had a carnival party and it was amazing! Popcorn, cotton candy, sno cones, nachos, Italian beef, hot dogs, cookies, cakes, cup cakes and much more. We had carnival games, a face painter & balloon artist. The kids had so much fun. A few people went above and beyond helping out and you guys are the BEST. We are so lucky to have such great, loving people in our life!

Now, let me get sappy. I am so head over heels, makes my heart melt, brings tears of joy, absolutely in love with this little man. He is so wonderful, loving, fun, cuddly and perfect! Dale and I are so lucky to be able to be home with him every day and see all of his amazments! Everyday is a new adventure for Jax and to see his eyes light up when he can do new things is just so wonderful.

Jax,
Thank you for all the love and happiness you have brought into our lives. I don't know if you will ever be able to realize the impact you've made on us. You truly are our dream come true!

XOXO,
Mommy
