Is he really 2?

I cant believe Jonas is really two. Yesterday was his second birthday. It is so great to see him thriving and growing into such a little person. I had no idea when I was starring into a set of little eyes through the incubator that the two pound little guy would take up so much of my heart. Well, I did have some idea, but you know...

I have turned into such a sap lately. All I want to do is hold on to him as tight as I can before he grows up in my arms.

Holidays

Wow, the holidays are finally over. Few! We had a great Thanksgiving with family, i love having Jillayne and Chris at home with us. I feel I can really enjoy myself just knowing jillayne is here with me. Its so hard when she is away. it is like a part of me is missing.

Here is my first attempt at making carmel apples. They are not as pretty as I had hoped but they were still yummy. We spent Thanksgiving with jason's family this year and they all seemed to enjoy them. So I will consider it a success.

We also had a fun christmas. Jonas was soiled of course, he recieved a large amount of gifts. One of which is his favorite, his little red car. Jonas can say car, but he still refers to them as bye byes. It was fun to celebrate with him now that he is older & can enjoy the whole spirit of Christmas.

Starting New

I have had a major lack of motivation to get my life in order. I feel like life with a toddler speedily approaching 2 is only going to get more hectic in time. Well, tomorrow is another day, and another chance to make things right.

Halloween is over! Jonas & i went to the ward Halloween party where I took home the prize of most interesting chili. Jason says that is because it was weird but i like to think it has character.

I'm anxious for the thanksgiving & Christmas holiday seasons to be here, I love the fall. It all just makes me want to bake & decorate.
Poor Jonas just wants to be outside but does not understand why he is so cold & uncomfortable.
Time for sweaters!

my life

My Life is turning into one big blur of running errands, work, & dropping Jonas off at a babysitter, then picking him up. I wish I had more time with him & my husband. Maybe sometime soon.

In the meantime, Jonas will make enough messes to keep my mind off of missing Jason.

My day so far

Today is Friday, my day off, and its packed as usual. I woke up at around 5:30 this morning to Jason leaving for work, I could hear him over the baby monitor saying bye to Jonas.
Now its 10 am and Jonas is napping after he had a couple bottles, his developmental assessment & a bath.
He has his well check appointment with the pediatrician & will be getting shots at 1:00pm. I hate that. I still feel so torn about the shot situation.

This is my first post, it was easier than i thought to set this up.
