Stockton James,

Words cannot express how much joy you have brought to my life in the past year.  You are such a happy boy, full of smiles and giggles.  I often get the comment, "Wow! He is such a happy easy baby!" to which I reply, "He is! If all of my kids were like him I would have 10 more!"

Since the day you were born you have stolen a piece of my heart. I find peace and happiness when I am with you. All it takes is one look into your gorgeous blue eyes and I know that I must have done something right to get a special boy like you.

Currently:

You have 6 teeth

You crawl... fast!

Have noodle legs when I try to get you to walk

Sleep through the night

Take 2 naps a day ranging from 2-4 hours!

Love Jordyn, you look for her in the mornings

Are the squirmiest boy I have ever met...

which means you are NOT very fun to hold.

You love to wrestle with daddy and cuddle mommy

You play peek-a-boo and think it is funny, 

You laugh as you hide behind your cute little hands.

Love to be outside and bolt to the door if it is ever open

Happy First Birthday Baby Boy!

You have stolen our hearts.

Growing Up

Last night Jordyn said to me,

"Mom, when I am 30 I get to go to college."

I said, "Yes, mommy wants you to go to college!"

Jordyn,"How old I have to be to drive?!?!?"

Me, "You have to be 16 to drive."

Jordyn, "Okay, sounds good!"

Please, please don't try to grow up so fast! It is hurting your mommy's heart!

Two nights ago she also came up to me and said,

"Hey mom, did you know red is a shade of pink?"

You are too smart for your own good Bug!

Love you to the moon and back!

Choose The Right

This year's Primary theme is Choose the Right. Jordyn has really enjoyed going to sunbeams and I can tell she is learning and listening. How do I know this?

Because today we got in the car and I asked her to get in her carseat and buckle,

she didn't,

I asked again,

she didn't,

Finally I said in a very stern voice, "GET YOUR SEATBELT ON NOW!"

In which my 3 year old said,

"Mom, when you yell you are choosing the wrong!"

I said "I am sorry Jordyn. Will you please put your seatbelt on?"

"Sure, see now you are choosing the right!"

Thank you Jordyn for keeping me on my toes and making me want to be a better person everyday!

I love you to the moon and back,

Mom

How to Treat a Hangnail

" If you have a hangnail, and it has a little blood you put a bandaid on it. Then you eat some soup and but the soup in front of the bandaid, put the bandaid back on, and then it died!"
