Little Moments

I had a quick little moment I wanted to jot down before life gets away with me and I forget. Last night I was sitting on the couch and Jax was standing beside me watching TV. He has always been super sweet and walks around all day patting our dogs and telling them "good girl" (even to the boy). Well last night he looks at me, pats my head and says "good girl mama" and then starts stroking my hair! When I write it down it sounds a little creepy, but he did it with such tenderness it almost made me cry! You could just tell at that moment he was showing me he loved me since he can't really say it yet. I love that little boy.

Also, the tempter tantrums have started. He is SUPER easy so far to calm down. The minute I get stern with him during a tantrum he starts to cry and then comes and hugs me and says sorry. I realize these are just the beginning and they will get worse (I worked with 2-4 year olds in a day care for 2+ years) but so far I'm glad he responds. He's only had one time, during a diaper change, that I really had to show him who's boss. I kept my cool and kept telling him he HAD to lay down and listen to mama. He wasn't happy but after about 2 minutes he listened. I love him even when he throws fits!

So far we love Columbus. We love the area and I have everything I need so close. The target is HUGE! It even has a Starbucks and jewelry store inside! Not like a Walmart Jewelry counter, but a legit jewelry store with diamonds for thousands of dollars. It even has a furniture and home decor section. I know I sound country right now but it's amazing! David loves his job and is feeling pretty good about his position. We can't wait to see what the future brings! We are going down to KY next weekend and my sister is coming up the following weekend. We love to be busy!

Anyways that's all for now. My quick little post turned into a lengthy recap of Columbus but that's okay since it needed to be done. Can't wait to see what's in store for us next! Here's some recent pics

"Maybe this stuff is lotion..."

This is my trophy for worst mom of the year. He was walking through the hall way and I popped out of the bathroom and scared him so bad he ran into the door frame.... :( 

he was obviously not too upset

LOVE this smile :)
