Knock Knock Knockin' on One Year's door... Shania will be one in 4 days...4. days.. where has it went??? I just can't believe it... I want to cry yet scream Yippee! I love this little lady. I already know how I will start out her 1 bday letter.... Dear Favorite Child...lol can a mother have a favorite... well really honestly it changes day in day out..she reigns more just because she takes regular naps :s ...oh and the cutest thing...she has fallen in love with her Daddy... She lights up and runs to him when he comes home...cutest thing ever...
Shania is the happiest baby I've ever had! She has been walking up a storm since 9 months old..which isn't fun for this momma... luckily though she loves to be held..so I haven't missed out to much...she plays..then looks to me comes for some snuggles and kisses then be back to playing... My Mom always asks how do I get anything done...well...I DON'T! lol
So Shania's party is coming up too.. Its March 1st. I originally wanted it to be a piggy theme but after a few days of seeing her stop what she was doing to watch sesame street and dancing around I gave up my dream of pink filled party to a primary color filled party.... it has actually been fun thinking and planning her party...I'm just trying to do my best ya know..I'm a stay at home mom..I should have time to do all that artsy fartsy fun craft stuff...lol... Well... I'm trying... and I'll have to post pics of party later... its just family and couple friends... but that quickly turns into a lot of people!!!!! Also- I need to take Shania's One Year pictures. That is the tough thing about a cold weather baby!... I wish it was nice out..but maybe at Jessy's she has good light indoors I will try maybe Monday!...Wish me luck!
I don't know why but sometimes i feel disconnected from people... I've got a few close
friends but yet I feel disconnected. Not from them but people in general.
This year has gone by fast... Going from a 2 full time working parents to 1 full time working parent household is a big difference. Not a bad different but its not easy....but its easy to decide to do and I'm glad we took that leap and decide X amount of money wasn't worth the time away.
Sondra has matured so much. It makes me sick...I look at Shania accomplish things and think to myself ....Oh I remember when Sondra did that... and then I look at Sondra and she is this 7 year old young lady.... I loved this valentines day when I asked her what her Sweetie (Daddy) was going to get her. Her reply: I want jewelry.. SO as I go to walmart to get the kids gifts..Jake texts make sure its nice... lol So I look and see rings...Jake loved the idea and I asked the counter lady for a ring box and then it was set I couldn't wait to see her face when her daddy gave it to her. I got my valentine Stuart a box of his favorite candy Reese cups..which then I was smothered in kisses and reminders of I was HIS valentine.. and Shania received a "ring" too..well its a teether shaped like a diamond ring... :) ...i love the idea of valentine's day being for our kids.. Jake is his daughter's valentine and Stuart is mine..
With this cold weather I'm so looking forward to family vacation this year! I'm just looking forward to fall too.. i love the not hot but not cold weather! well I must be going :) :) I have a lot to figure out. I will be doing the majority of the birthday shopping this weekend..and also I need to get the gift bags completed and a few other little crafts...wish this Mommy luck!
Love you and keep me on your prayer list..
Me
