Talking and smiles

Dear Sweet Sugar Boy,

Ducky and I took you to get your picture taken with Santa last night. you were a little squirmy, but eventually we got you to smile. But as we were waiting in line Ducky asked if you still smiled when I did Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash is a Country and Western superstar, I know as you get older you'll learn more about Johnny Cash, probably because I'll wind up telling you the story a million times over.

Anyway, when Johnny Cash would start his shows he would say in his low freight train like voice "Hello, my name is Johnny Cash". I started saying this to you one day when I was home for lunch. You cracked up laughing like it was the funniest thing you'd ever heard. Ever since then when I say "Hello, my name is Johnny Cash." You'll smile or laugh at me. It's the cutest thing.

Another note is that you have started to say some words. Mostly you say Yeah, and Yay! You like those words the most. I love you so much sweet boy. Take care and Merry Christmas!

Love,
Mommy

A Big Brother

My Sweet Sugar Boy,

Well Mommy and Daddy found out this week that your going to be a big brother. Mommy is going to have another baby in 9 months. Mommy is excited and nervous for you since I don't really have any experience with siblings being an only child myself. But I know you will be fine with it, like most things. You are such an angel and Mommy loves you so much. Almost every thought I have is of you. I want to make sure you always know how special you are to me and how much I love you.

On another note, you got your first pair of big boy shoes yesterday and you were walking outside. Your still a little unsure of yourself but you are getting much better in the shoes. You look so handsome in everything but now you really look like a little man. you also rode your first carosel last night on a big choo choo train. You had so much you didn't want to stop going. That's the news for now. I love you my sweet boy!

Love,
Mommy

A whole year!

To my sweet Sugar Boy,

I'm so sorry that I haven't written in so long, but you have been keeping Mommy very busy! You are a year old now and walking. You took your first unassisted steps around mid October, and then only did it once or twice between then and when you took off. It was the day after your birthday and Ducky and I were in the study with you looking at the Christmas tree and you just started walking, and you have been going an going ever since. We still carry you some places of course, and we haven't found good shoes for you yet so you haven't walked outside, or in shoes yet, but you are all over the place indoors. Last night I had to go shopping so we went to Macy's and Ducky came too and you were walking all over the misses section and accesories.

You are getting to be such a little man honey, you can say a few words, and you clap pretty much for everything these days. Your growing like a weed and mommy has a hard time keeping clothes that fit you. But the doctor says your right on schedule and doing great. You still love music and you are still a very happy and sweet little boy. Though you can be stubborn and you don't like to be told no. But mommy doesn't want you to hurt yourself so when I say no it's for the best.

Your first birthday party was great, you got lots of toys, including a red piano from Nana and Grandpa. Your friend Brantley was there with you, he's Miss Holly's son. Miss Holly watches you for mommy on Tuesday's, Wednesdays and Thursdays while mommy is at work. So you get to play with your buddy a lot. We had a Thomas the Train theme for you and Daddy, Ducky, and I did a puppet show for you!

Oh! And did I mention you have a cousin now? Aunt Katherine just gave birth to a baby girl, your cousin Kelsey. You and Kelsey are exactly one year and one week apart in age. You are the first born of the family though so you need to show her the ropes and watch out for her. Even though Aunt Kat lives all the way down south we are going to try to make sure you two are very close cousins.

What else....your eating solid foods now, and drinking whole milk, though we're trying to wean you off of formula. At about 8 months you stopped breast feeding. Your already a great traveler. You've been to Colorado, and Oklahoma, and Port Aransus. The beach trip may have been the best cause it was your first time at the beach and you loved it! Mommy lost her glasses in the ocean too cause she was busy watching you and Daddy and didn't notice a big wave behind her.

Everyday your changing and growing sweetie, and mommy is a little scared because your growing up so fast. Before I know it your going to be grown up and mommy will have to rely on these blogs and pictures to remember her sweet little boy. I love you with all my heart precious boy and I'll talk to you soon.

Love,
Mommy
