my son

sometimes i wonder how in heavens name Ben and i ended up with such a monster. :P but then i take a good look at myself and see so much of me in this little man. but then again. he is soo much like his daddy too.

Joshua is hell on wheels for the second he opens his eyes to the very moment he grabs his blanket and curls up in your arms to go to sleep.

at a year old he's figured way too much out. he's opening things. taking care of his toys. even changing his movies on his own now. and here i am still wondering if there's a way i can stop him. put him on hold and keep him my little guy forever. :] but i know that wont happen so...here's to rolling with the punches and learning and growing with my little guy. :]

though...there's nothing i wouldn't give to have another one here soon. :] then maybe Josh would have someone to play with and well...i'm having a hard time sleeping at night anyway. lol.

but Ben and i have talked about it and we're hoping next year sometime. no time is nailed down we just know that right now is not right for us. we've already got names picked out though. :P for a boy we're naming the next one Lucas Alexander. :] and if it's a girl, which we hope it isn't, her name will be either Alison Briana or Madison Marie. :] i love Madison and he picked out Alison. so we'll see who wins that fight.

but at the moment i'm watching my son pull apart a piece of paper and i know that i'm not ready for two. :] but i know for a fact that i will be one day.

well...i have to go clean up the mess he just mad. :P i'll write again soon.
