days fly by....

Wow. All I can say is wow. It is a new year/decade. I have 2 beautiful babies and love being a stay at home Mom. I can honestly say I never expected this to be my life. I knew I always wanted kids, but never thought it would happen. I am not sure why. I have been with Rick since high school but never expected us to actually be a family some day. Then Brax came along, it was the best moment of my life! Even as he was growing up I thought he would forever be an only child. But I enjoyed being a Mommy so much I wanted just one more. And here I am! I could not ask for anything better than being a mother of 2. And even though it has taken A LOT of sacrifice, I am so happy to be able to stay at home with them.

So I am still breastfeeding. It is going very well. I still have formula as a back up. She seems to hit these growth spurts that my body will just not keep up with! It only takes about 1 day for my body to adjust, so I only have to supplement a few ounces. Brooklyn is getting bigger and she is healthy. She is almost 11lbs! She is growing so fast, I am trying to savor each moment with her since this is my last baby.

Braxton turned 3 on the 29th of December. We took him to Hullabaloo to play and he loved it! A few days before Christmas, he started potty training. He is doing pretty well. He even tells me when we are out that he has to go, and I sit him on those humongous toilets and he goes! I definitely thought that would be a problem, but he proved me wrong very quickly. I am really proud of him. And he continues to be a great Big Brother.

I have been taking time out of each day after Rick gets home from work to spend one on one time with Braxton. I have to say those moments are one of my favorite parts of my day. I can tell he enjoys it too. We usually read some books. Some over and over. Yesterday I had some errands to run and I decided to take him with me. We went to the eye doctor to pick up my contacts, Kohls, and Wal Mart. He was very well behaved. So I bought him 2 cars at Wal Mart. I really enjoy my time with him. Especially when he is a good boy :o)


Hopefully I can update a little more frequently in the future. Here's to hoping.....
