As of lately

So still no computer, and by the time my husband come back from classes I have no energy to blog!
Anyways andrew is going to be 2 soon, i have no idea how that is possible seriously dont..
Of course along with that age comes plenty of new things like tantrums and such. ah oh well i still love that little boy.
He is constantly jumping and running
anything he is ready to throw or play he will say 'RRRRSEETT GOOOOOOO"
He dances like no other.
Gives us a crazy amount of kisses a day
Is a def daddys boy.
He is my boy though :)
He loves to read
Watch Los Wiggles and Yo gabba gabba.
He is my wonderful baby boy God blessed me with.

First weekend alone

This past weekend I went to a seminary wives retreat.
It was great time of renewal for me, to learn about different things and connect with other women and moms who also have husbands at the seminary.
I loved just chatting with them getting to know each other.
Also this was the FIRST time I have left my baby alone. And you know what? The hubs and him had an AWESOME time. The baby was so well behaved and happy when I came home he loved me but you could tell her was more attached to his daddy.
I had a great time.

Its been awhile

I am a horrible blogger.
I am.
Sometimes i can blog twice a week, then other I don't blog for months. Such as now.
Andrew is growing. becoming a toddler at 100x speed.
He is throwing tantrums, and sweet goodness its driving my husband and I crazy, you know the ones
where he throws himself on the floor and starts screaming because he had enough gold fish and needs to eat some sort of real food, yeah that.
Mom of the year i tell ya.
So as my husband and I pray for some more wisdom and understanding, we are trying our best.
The more I see it the more i understand the mistakes that are made by first time parents.

The other day at breakfest as we prayed andrew said " Jesus"
it was precious and i melted
Anytime i say say "Jesus" he fold his hands and says it.
I love it.

He is not speaking much, still not worried he's trying to figure out double languages. and i know its hard. But its kind of getting frustrating for the both of us. He wants to tell me something but can't and his few signs he can't express what he wants. I CAN"T WAIT till his language explodes it will be a relief for both him and I.

 This winter has been amazing to my husband a florida man who was freaking out about a winter here in the midwest. I dont think we will be as lucky next year.

HOW is it march already, I am not complaining.
With that note my son will be 2 in about 2 months HOW. HOW HOW did that happen i have no idea.
I should probably get to planning.

valentines day idea

I was trying to think of a cute idea for valentines day for my husband.
I like to surprise him, and also do stuff for him on this month of love.
So a trip to the dollar store it was!
and I was lucky enough to find these awesome little heart boxes.
Perfect size to put your husbands or wives favorite treat! and i added little bible verses of love or uplifting ones.
I have 14 boxes one for each day till valentines day.

I would look in your local Dollar Tree and see if you can find these boxes.
Hide them in your husbands backpack, suite case, in his jacket before work.

Being a mom of 1

I've read articles latley of only having one child. the pros and cons. ALL THAT JAZZZZZZ.
Its annoying.
Seriously this is one of the biggest decisions I've ever made.
This is why i wished for twins. One and done. We would have had no choice but to DEAL with 2 babies.
Instead now we know the taste of having children, and well honestly we are just not prepared to handle another one.
My hubs and I. We just aren't
there are moments of weakness, of sibiling love scenes from other parents but then i dont know. I doubt myself. I get frazzled easily, I wish I could calm my child down when he has a tantrum, i wish he wasn't growing up so fast which makes the decision of having another hard, cause time is ticking, cause if you dont have another baby soon before he turns 3 then the age gap is too much. blah . blah. blah.

Then i think, what if my child was an only child? would that be the END of the world?
I get the "oh he'll be so lonely", and i freak out.
Me and my sister are 9 years apart. and that is a HUGE age gap. I never really had a "sister" as a child, now we are closer, but she's 15 and i'm 24.

I don't know. I feel like I need to make a decision about more children soon, but I know im not ready.
sigh.

I've been lucky so far.

I have been lucky so far that Andrew hasn't been "hurt" badly.
Of course he has fallen, hurt his head, cried, all the "normal" stuff, but nothing serious... until new years eve.
It was a new years eve/parents 25th anniversary party.
My parents had gotten a hotel room for the night and they had rented a banquet room in the actual hotel.
All of us were busy in the room getting ready, andrew of course was running around just being himself.
Then my dad took out the iron to iron his clothes and he left it on on the side tables of the hotel room.
Then we all screamed with we saw andrew go touch the hot iron.
I freaked out.
I TOTALLY TRULY FREAKED OUT>
I started crying and hugging him, I am horrible at dealing with situations like this.
Finally i grabbed him and put his hands under cold water, then some ice.
I didn't want to even see his hands. I couldn't.
Meanwhile we were all freaking out, everyone was waiting for my parents cause they were renewing their vows, my husband was their minister... anyways it was crazy.
I felt the pain.
Those tears that I know I will shed more of as my child grows.
It made me value even MORE my mom and dad.
I feel like I haven't caused them many tears, but the ones I have I understand them 100% now.
But my boy, he was strong
We wrapped his hands up with some ointment and bandage and a sock so he wouldn't be sucking on his finger *he's teething*.
The next morning he woke up like nothing had happened. It was sensitive but he wasn't whinny or crying.
I burned my 3 fingers once in college on my flat iron and i was a BIG BABY for like 2 weeks.
Meanwhile it blistered and now its all better.
So i'll be way more vigilant  and watching over him more! obviously not letting anything hot that attracts his curiosity

Back from a long break~

\
it was nice to be in chicago this christmas, as in last one we were in orlando and yes my parents came down to be with us but there is nothing like being with all my family.
We celebrate the 24th with opening of presents at 12 naturally the baby was sleeping, so he would have a traditional christmas in the morning.
He got a few presents and a nice easel my mom got him for christmas! :)
I have to admit im happy to be back home!
