Different Perspective

I was going to start the blog off with a rant about how exhausted I am, sleep is a pleasure (better than chocolate) but instead I want to start off with something positive and giving..something that will make each of us feel better.. I have always loved this scripture and tonight I and a dear friend needed this..

As you do not know the path of the wind..So you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.  Ecclesiastes 11:5

Many of you know that my life is filled with a 15mth old little man, yes he is a man..He eats all the time..Anything but broccili..His favorite thing is chips and salsa. My brother, Jeremy taught him how to  "dip his chip" and now he eats the salsa off the chip, loves duice (juice), dips (chips). His vocabulary is growing daily. I am amazing of what he understands..I wonder if I was that intelligent as a toddler? Words: Chi-Chi (His pet chicken), Horsey, Diddy (daddy), duice (juice), shoe, cookie, deese (cheese)..I am sure I am forgetting something..He understands when you tell him to go get a book, go get your juice cup, would you like to go for a ride..He has started trying to put his shoes on..It is a game show for me :)..A pb&j can soothe anything. We spend most of our days outside exploring.. Here is where I wanted to complain..But instead I want to say I am so very grateful for these moments..

We take walks in the woods daily searching for bugs, different trees, birds, I can't describe how my heart leaps when he sees a bird and points to it saying tweet tweet..I finally see my hard work paying off!! Yes, that is hard work :)!

How lucky am I to have been able to spend the past 15mths of his life with him?!? It is epic! I said I would never co-share the bed but oops here I am eating crow. It hasn't affected the love life :) grawl..So why not..I love snuggling to his little blonde curly head and having him wake me up with a kiss in the morning saying momma, momma..I dreamed to hear those words for year..Ok, so I way up way crankier than I should at times..I really should set the coffee pot @ 7:00..

But how could I miss snuggle times like this????

I never dreamed I could love someone so much, it is a love that goes deeper than anything I could have ever imagined. Prince Kannon :) 

I was waiting for the right moment to tell you all about this magic moment that happened a few weeks ago..Kannon & I were cleaning out the attic and I was working in my high school box :)..Found quite of few love lettters, different things that took me back and made me feel really old..Kannon was really quiet and that usually means trouble but this time he was holding a photo, smiling and pointing. The sun was shining so bright that afternoon right where Kannon was standing..I looked at the photo and it was my papaw, me and my Granny. He kept pointing to papaw and laughing, tears were flowing down my face. Call me crazy but at that moment I knew that papaw was watching that he is Kannon's angel. I can't explain the peace it gave me. 

 It truly did change my mind set. Life is so very short, we really should take 5min each day and meditate, sit and think of five things we are grateful for..

1. Grateful for the love of my friends

2. Peanut butter sticky finger hugs from Kannon ball..

3. Being peaceful in my life

4. Angels

5. My husband, my best friend and lover

Namaste-

A year..super fast..

Dec 19 2011

Mr. Kannon Patrick Roberts decided to join us @ 9:49 am. He has been all boy since.

I wanted to write a blog to keep up with his first smiles, walks..but it is all I can do to have a cup of coffee and brush my teeth daily. It is something that I cherish everyday-being home with him.

Month 1: No sleep, I mean no sleep. I breast-fed & was up every 2hrs..I lost my grandpa 5wks after having Kannon so that sent me into a tail-spin of emotions. Oh hello depression. Yes, you can get depressed after having a child. The life you knew before is changed in hours, over night-No one can ever warn you :). Thank goodness for a strong husband & my brother.

Month 2: Sleep-Not so much. This little guy is to much like his momma :). Love to sit up in his boppy. He started holding his little head up while laying on his belly...Again, moving to fast for me to catch up.

Easter- Drooling Machine-This is when life started getting fun...

We went to the beach, pool, this baby boy loves water..We went to Boise, ID in June/July to visit Meme. Again, lesson learned..Traveling with a baby-kudos to all moms who do that!!!!

He started walking at 7mths and has not stopped since...His fave word is hot..hot..So flipping cute :). The doggies are his best friends, he loves being outside, he loves food..anything :). He loves anything to do with balls..soccer, baseball, basketball..Has a pretty good aim too :)

We got to experience our first football season..Roll Tide..Ending with another championship..

We had our first halloween, christmas...Everything seemed extra special this year..Seeing things through his eyes..I look forward to marking each step of his way..He is such an amazing little miracle..Kannon Patrick..Little guy you are amazing...
