Hi my sweet baby boy! Just wanted to say I am missing you today. I know I'm just at work like any other day, but reading headlines in the news about a little 5 year old boy kidnapped and another little boy the same age as you with stage 4 cancer, just makes me love an appreciate you even more. We don't know why awful things happen to sweet babies. We could go crazy asking why and never find the answer. All we can do is pary for peace and comfort for the babies and families. All children and babies go to heaven, I just always pray for peace and comfort because I know when you're sick or hurt how I just want to make you comfortable and take your pain away. You have had difficulty breathing at night for the past two months and I have stayed up many nights with you just worried about you getting enough air. I have actually slept most of the night the past few nights, I think because I am so exhausted from being awake so much. Then when I wake up, I run to check on you because it's been a few hours since I've checked on you. I would do anything to help you. I love you more than anybody in the world and you say, "yes...I do." The Dr gave us some nose spray to try for a few weeks to see if it helps. You cover your nose and say I don't like that spray nose! lol Hopefully we get things figured out soon.
You're getting so big. Where did my baby go? You pooed in the big potty last night. YEY! I will be glad to get rid of these diapers! You also fed your RarRar a hot dog which got stuck in his mouth and I had to hold him under that water and pull it out. HAHAHA. Let you wear undies last night, then you peed three times! Of course. That's ok, we will get the potty training done. It's just never a dull moment with you. I don't know what I did without you.

Just wanted to talk to my sweet baby O for a minute. I love you.

Hey my baby boy. I know, it's been awhile since I wrote. I'm sorry. You have had an eventful month as usual. Halloween was great! You were probably the only kid with 3 costumes. You were a dinosaur for the Halloween party at the library, Lightning McQueen for Halloween at Holy's and Nemo for trick or treating. You were so cute. You had candy for dinner basically. I didn't care, it's just one night. My wild little boy.

Your newest milestone......using the potty!!! You just decided to go. Smart lil guy. You always have to put toilet paper in the "big potty" and flush, even though you use the "little potty". You know what to do. I can't believe you're this big already.

We put up our Christmas tree last night. AKA: Present tree. You gave out on me about half way through. You were tired. I can't wait till Christmas! You're gonna LOVE your big present. I think I'm more excited than you will be.

I love you so much my baby O!

Hey Baby O!

Well, you had your first stomach bug this week, but you were over it in a day. Bless your heart, you are a tough little guy. You have also started counting to 5! Smart little boy. You are talking more and more. Our little mocking bird. You talk about the moon and sun a lot. You love to look at the moon!
We watched a show with Tinker Bell last night so you thought you should "fly" too! You stood on the bak of the couch and would fall for me to catch you. Your new favorite thing is to sit on my shoulders. You might be a scientist when you get older or in the circus because you are not afraid of heights! I just know I have a smart, active little boy who is growing too fast. I am very proud to be your mommy!

Love you baby O and hope you are having a great day!

Well my baby O, it's official. You are now 2 years old. Where has my baby gone? It's amazing how big you are and the things you have learned in just two short years. You have developed your OWN personality. It's so funny to watch you do things on your own. You are definately a DAREDEVIL! You are very independent and want to do things and figure things out on your own, but on the other hand, you don't want to be alone. As long as someone is with you, you can rule the world. You are 33 inches and 29 pounds. Your two favorite things are Rarr Rarrs and Suckers! Although in the past few weeks you have found a new love, Buzz Lightyear! Dad got you one for your birthday and he is your new buddy. Rex has been kicked out of the bed to make room for Buzz.
We had a great party at Dinosaur World. Everyone had a great time and you came home with A LOT of presents! My baby boy is very blessed. We were up until midnight playing with all your new toys and reading new books.
Mommy loves you more than anybody in the world. And you say, in the world! I can't believe you are two already. I try each day to remember little things you do because you are growing so fast. I am very proud of you Owie.
I love you very much my Baby O!

Hey my sweet baby boy!
I know.....it's been awhile since I've wrote. Sorry.
Well, party planning is in full swing! I CANNONT believe you will be two in a month! People say time flies and kids grow up so fast, it's true! We are having a party at Dinosaur World, of course. Where else would my little Rarr Rarr want a birthday party? I can't wait.

We were saying our blessing at dinner last night and after I said Amen, you still had your little hand up to pray and said, "and mom, and dad, and nana and rarr rarrs." Thank you lord for dinos and sweet little boy! What did I ever do without you? I didnt smile near as much as I do now. You're silly little faces and little things you do for attention just to be funny. Like putting your foot on the table. You know you shouldn't but you think it's so funny!

You and your Rex!

I love you so much my baby O!

Hey Baby!
Happy 4th of July!
We have had a busy few weeks. We went to the Louisville Zoo. We go to see the dinosaur exhibit, which scared you to death. You love dinos, but I think you thought they were going to get you. We stayed at the splash park for a few hours. You loved that!! You even went down the little water slides all by yourself! Brave little boy! We bought a little pool on Sunday. My water bug. You say, "I swim, I swim!" You even ask to go outside to the pool.
Fourth of July was yesterday and of course we hung out in the pool. Granny came over to see you. Then we went to Uncle Chris's for his grandpa's 92 birthday. You have a balal there, running around outside. After that we went to see Nana and Papa. Laura Jo and John were in and John is your buddy! You wondered through the house yelling, "John, John!".
 You're getting so big, yet you were playing in your bed with your Mickey Mouse and seemed like a little baby. My sweet little guy. I love you so much.
Yesterday you told me everytime you peed so I would change you. Potty Training is coming soon!! WUHU....no more diapers! I don't want you to grow up but I will be glad to get rid of diapers.
You're at home having guys day with dad today. I'm sure you'll eat junk and hang out in the pool all day.

I love you Baby O! Can't wait for 5 o'clock today.

Hey my lil Wild Man!
You have had a BIG week! I redecorated your room, you now have a "big boy" room. Blue with Dinos everywhere and a new twin bed. You look so little in it though. On Monday you went to the movies for the first time. Miss Holly took you and your lil buddieS to see Journey 2. You carried your own booster seat in and watched the whole movie! Such a big boy. Made me cry. Then on Tuesday you guys played outside on the Slip and Slide! Holly said you loved it and you were in charge of the water hose, of course. I hate that I miss you having so much fun, but am so glad you have such a great sitter and little friends to experience new things with.
We went to a cookout at Nana and Papas last night and you played football with William, Robert and John. Then you wanted to stand in a tree! Dad held you up there and you TOOK OFF! You climbed half way up the tree!! I have never saw a baby as adventurous as you! 20 MONTHS OLD.You have no fear honey, which scares me to death! I am so proud of you though. You are a little problem solver and very determined.

I love you so much my lil Baby O!
