Letters to J

Well hello and welcome! I am hoping that this blog will be a way to share my experiences and my fun times with parenting! A few years ago, I went to an amazing conference with Nancy Thomas, who spoke about issues of attachment. She said something that really stuck with me: "If you are not having fun with your parenting, you are doing it wrong!" So that is my goal with my son: having fun!!! Seven months of having fun and counting! When my son was born 7 months ago, I started my very first letter to him. It was really very simple: J, Welcome to the world! I'm so happy to be your Mommy. With love, Mommy Since then, I have been writing my little boy letters and notes in his very own journal. These letters have shown how proud I am of my little boy and how much I love being his mom. As a first time mom, I am learning right along with him! I am loving every minute of it! With Love...

Silent Night, Holy Night

With a big smile on my face, I can say that Cuddle Bug is working on sleeping more through the night. Every once in awhile, he gives us that joyous Silent Night with about a 4-5 hour stretch. Last night was 5.5 hours of pure bliss as we all slept soundly. We hope that Bug's Christmas present to us would be a full night's sleep and his first smile. We can hope! Christmas has arrived and we are trying to make baby's first Christmas so special. Bug got to meet Santa 3 times already, and even got an official certificate saying he's on the nice list. His swing is right by the Christmas tree and he seems to enjoy looking at the twinkling lights as he swings. Cuddle Bug also got to participate in lots of fun activities for Big Brothers 2nd birthday, like zoolights and even a visit to a fire station. I was hoping that the Christmas season would bring about a few less meetings and less drama. Sadly, it has not. We have had a handful of meetings every week this month. You kno...

Our CuddleBug

Our little cuddle bug has officially become a part of our family.  Big brother has quickly grown to love his little brother and often looks out for him, saying "It's okay" when he cries and even wiping his nose with a tissue. Of course, Big Brother is also an older brother, so he knows the right buttons to push too, mainly touching Little Brother's nose when he's sleeping until he wakes up.  Big Brother has been acting out in other ways, seeking attention in all the wrong ways, but that may have something to do with him turning 2 years old next week.  My little man is figuring out that he has an opinion and he's falling right into his two-year-old BIG attitude. I've started calling Baby Brother my cuddle bug for a good reason; he's just so cuddly!  This tiny baby has grown before our eyes in the 3 weeks that we have had him in our home. He's gained 2 pounds, which is just a huge amount for a newborn. And he just wants to be held all day long. Bug...
