My baby is now closer to a little boy than a baby and that gap widens more and more every day. I miss the sweet soft cuddles and him just laying in my arms. I do love the amazing little person he has come to be, way too much like me but I think I love him even more because of it. I do not however want him back to his baby state. He was by no means an easy baby. Colic, lactose intolerance, never really sleeping through the night, 8 ear infections, the list goes on. But he is a happy and healthy 11 mon old today. Last Monday he figured out how to climb on to the couch and was quite pleased with himself for it! He is still a mommas boy by all means. He loves his momma, gives me sweet kisses, cuddles with me and everything but he's so independent its crazy! I look forward to him being able to do things like run to me when I come home and one day clean up after his tornado like self. For boys, clothes very much get cuter with age and so do shoes. So yes I look forward to all of this, but I am just sad the tiny baby side is gone. A friend of mine had a tiny baby boy last week. So precious and sweet. Congrats Jenn! Enjoy this because its gone all too soon, I'm sure you know that though from Haeven!

I start school next week. I'm a little nervous but so glad to do it. I think its finally time for me to finish my degree and get my RN. There are so many more oppertunities for me with it. Hopefully it wont take me a full year and I'll have my Associates of Science in Nursing sooner than next summer! LOL.
