What I love









I love my husband. He loves me, he loves his son, he changes diapers (poopy and pee), he plays football with him, he knows how important staying home with my monster means to me. I love the fact that when I came home from work the other night that Jason had the baby in bed with him. He was laying on his side with his arms protactively over his son. I crawled into my side of the bed and was laying on my stomach and in his sleep, Jason reached out to grab my hand, two seconds later AJ reached out and held my wrist. My two mean reaching out to hold onto mama. I teared up and wished someone was there to take a picture or paint this moment in time forever. I pray to God that when I'm old and grey, and my mind isn't working like it used too, that God will re-implant these memories in my head and make me happy again. I love the sound of the "fwap fwap fwap" that AJ's feet make when he's walking on the hard wood floors. I love the cheeky grins he gives me when he either knows he's doing something he shouldn't or when he knows he's done something amazing. I love the open mouth, wet, full on tooth kisses he gives so freely. I love when he's playing by himself and makes a mad dash to his mama to give me a big hug or cuddle and then off he goes again. I love the look of his butt as he's waddling around the yard. I love the look on his face as he explores something new. I love the tone in his voice when he's telling Moose what is what. I love the little lip that sticks out when he's not happy. I love that he furrows his eyebrows just like his daddy. I love it when he's examining something and he squats to inspect it. I love that I can witness this little infant that can do nothing by himself, grow into a very commpetent, (thinks he is bigger than he really is) little man. I love the personality that is developing daily, even if it is more like his mama. I love how peaceful and content he looks while he's sleeping. The rise and fall of that little chest. I love every second, every minute, every hour and every day that God blesses me time with this precious little soul. It's so neat to know that your heart can actually fill up with this much love and it really doesn't just pop out of your chest. I'm feeling a little sappy lately. I just had to let you guys know that I am very well aware of how blessed I have been and that I am going to soak up every minute with my little guy. Time flies by all too fast. I will cherish these memories. I am very well aware that there will come a time when he doesn't think mama is so cool but I will love him this much always!!! I love you little man. You have my heart.

Yay! pictures! What a cutie! AJ is at such a fun age (other than the teething!). I've glad you're taking time to treasure all these things up in your heart.

Isn't it amazing to think that YOUR momma loves you ( and now my AJ, too) that much? I tried to tell you and your brother how much I love you, but there are truly no words to describe it. Now you know!!!!-mom
