MoTHeRs DaY!

Gracie made this really cute Mothers Day cookbook at school for me! Her teacher had each of the kids tell her the recipe to their favorite things to make.. When I got Gracie off the bus and she was telling me about this book she had made and that she got to tell her teacher how we make foods at our house to put in a cookbook, i was a little nervous.. and those of you who know Gracie well know why i was a little scared as to what was in this 'book'... But to my surprise she actually did a really good job! This was such a cute idea and once again made me realize she is growing up so fast and such a darling little girl she is!

On Saturday i took Acen to have his well child check up since we were behind on his shots.. we missed his 15 & 18 month shots... not too bad but i hate to be behind! So umm.. it was AWFUL! i had given him some Motrin before we left because he always does terrible with his shots.. fevers and all that bad stuff..so we get there and i thought i was doing good since i made the appt. at 10am and nap time was at 12 (or so) and i figured good i will get his shots and by the time we get home it will be nap time all good... not so much! They were behind at the doctors office.. so we had to be in the waiting room for ONE HOUR! He was so bored and tired by this time (the Motrin kicked in) and then they FINALLY called us back and then we were in the room for another HALF HOUR! He got so mad and threw himself on the hard tiled floor and banged his head so hard he had a huge red bump on his forehead! FINALLY the doctor came in i was about to blow up! They went over all his growth and he is doing so good! He is very small tho his height was in the 75% and his head circ. was 50% but my little peanut of a boy was only in the 4% of his weight! The doctor didn't seem concerned he said he looks just fine and has great muscle tone.. i guess he will just be small like his daddy! He is starting to talk more and more everyday! he says mom, dad, Gracie, pepper (the cat) hello, bye, luv u, night night, thank you, yes , no , hot , more.. and his latest new word he just started the other day when pepper knocked him down and stole his ice cream i told him 'daddy will bring you home another one, ok?' and he replied 'ook..i sad..' it was the saddest thing ever and he was so very sad when he said it! :( he is also growing up so much it honestly kills me! i love being a mom and i love my kids so much! Mothers Day is hard for me i still do think of the little one i am missing.. but until i can be with him again i will still love and cherish what i have! :)
