Tonight Coleman woke up hungry something that rarely happens but something I enjoy when it does. Coleman is not a cuddler at all but when you give him a bottle during his sleep time. He will cuddle a moment with me. So tonight as I kissed and stared in awe at my precious baby I realized his first year of life has almost past us by. He will be one in less than a month! I know it is normal not to get as much time with the second as the first but I didn't realize just how fast the first year would pass me by. I sit writing through tears because tonight I realized I no longer have a baby, but a toddler. It hit me when I took a deep breath to smell that sweet smell of a baby and it was gone. Motherhood is so bittersweet. No one can prepare you for the split your heart feels at times like these. I am so anxious and excited to see him take steps by himself and sad when I realize that those sweet sounds and smells are gone that only come with the presence of a new baby in your home. Oh how fast time passes us by.

"May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!" Proverbs 23:25

Operator Error!!!!

Okay so I got the mobile app thinking that I might find time to post more stories and thoughts and some how I made two old post into drafts!  Since this blog is basically a family journal for me and I want to keep each post I am reposting them.  So when you see stories about babies don't think we have had a time warp!  It is just me reposting old post so I don't lose them!

What a morning!!!!

Original Post 8/30/2008 It is just now 8:11 AM and my morning has already been chaotic! I woke up to Coleman crying ready to eat at 5:30....This is 30 minutes after I should have been up getting ready. I was just too tired I guess because I never heard the alarm clock. So out of bed I jump and run downstairs and get a bottle for Coleman and realize that Jackson is now crying too. Where is Trey in all this?!?!?! Still asleep! How is it that a mom hears every cry and a dad has selective hearing? At this point I run back upstairs and get Trey awake and tell him he has to feed Coleman and then I go to check on Jackson and he is hungry so back downstairs we go with sheep, his stuffed animal that is his best friend to cozy up to at night. We get downstairs and he wants a banana and some milk. I get all this together and then we start back upstairs and I see a bunny outside the house through one of the sidelights next to the door and I stop everything because I know Jackson would love to se...

5:22

Sorry for the delay in posting this as a sequel to my last post on May 22 nd . I got home on that particular Friday night and I laid down with Jackson to try and get him to sleep and the verse Galatians 5:22 popped in my head. I thought that was weird since I had woke up at 5:22 that morning...and as I put it together today...it was the 5 th month and the 22 nd day! Coincidence? I think not. So being that I am the mom of two little ones. I ended up collapsing and waking up at 5:22 Saturday morning. My first reaction was OH NO how did I sleep in here all night? This is not good. Jackson will expect this! Where is Trey? Why didn't he wake me up? Then I realize it is 5:22 AM and God is saying Galatians 5:22 in my Student bible that moved with me to Nashville. So at this point I go to the bonus room open up the bible to Galatians and read a section on the fruits of the spirit and then I go to the verses and find "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindne...
