Here's my Facebook post from today:

Our Saturday selfie. Just spent the afternoon sharing our adoption stories...makes me cry every time! We are so very blessed.

Mother and Son Night

Camden and Mommy's school PTO hosted a Mother/Son game night tonight. Camden and I played Minute to Win It games and had nachos and ice cream. The night ended with a big dodgeball game between mommies and their boys. We had a lot of laughs and fun playing the games together. I love spending time with my "first" boy!

Walking Adventures

I love capturing these everyday moments of my little family. The weather wasn't particularly nice on this day, but Jaden's mood called for some time out of the house. So, we bundled up and off we went! 

Wal-Mart

We had quite possibly the slowest checker in Wal-Mart history today. I was really glad Daddy is part comedian and was able entertain J Bear with his bubble blowing abilities.

Growing Up TOO Fast

When I look at this picture of Jaden, my heart just stops. He is losing his baby look and looking more and more like a big boy. I love watching him grow and learn, but some days I just want him to stay little. This sweet second child of mine can frustrate me to no end, but he is simply adorable and I am so glad God let me be his mommy.

My Papa

Papa loves each of his grandchildren in a different way. I have no doubt that he and Jaden will have just as close of relationship as the one he and Camden share. Papa loves to wrestle with his boys, but he also always enjoys when Jaden gets sleepy and will sit on his lap. He says, "Get his bottle and give him to me." It melts my heart every time.

My sweet J Bear:
You are growing up so fast, Mommy can hardly stand it! It seems like every day I notice that you have learned something new. You wave byebye and blow kisses. You know sign language for more, please and all done. You like to play Ring Around the Rosie and dance to fast music. You will hold you hands up with your palms turned up when looking for something. You want to talk so bad, but you are just grunting and babbling. You get really frustrated when Mommy and Daddy don't know what you want. You also get very upset when any of us take things away from you, especially the remote. You get really excited when it's time to go byebye or take a bath. We can't put your shoes on until it is time to walk out the door or you will stand at the door and cry. You still only have 8 teeth. Mommy thinks you will get a bunch at once. You love to read your books. Mommy has them on a shelf in the living room and you love being able to get them yourself. If the TV is not on, you will come get us and point to the TV. If you are able to get the remote, you will point it at the Tv trying to get it to come on. When you are hungry, you will go to your high chair and beg to get in. If you want to go outside, you will get your jacket from the chair and bring it to us. You LOVE being outside and cry when we can't go out. We are trying to teach you not to eat the mulch and rocks.
