Taking the Time

So I have noticed a lot of Blogs have surfaced lately and it got me thinking about mine...I am a terrible, horrible, no-good blogger! I started this Blog as my attempt at a scrapbook for my children and I. I did pretty good in the beginning. Our wedding, my pregnancy with Grady, his birth, and his growing up into a little man! Then came poor Coopy...I guess it didn't help that I worked full time for the entire pregnancy! But this is my attempt to make up for lost Blogging-time.

As we know, Cooper was born August 17th and was healthy and happy. Mommy had a bit of a struggle afterwards but has finally (finally meaning just recently (JANUARY!!)) gotten back to her old self. Since then, Petey and I have decided to do our diets and exercise once again beginning January 1st. I am happy to announce we are both past our 10 pounds lost marks!

The boys are perfect in every way, if I may say so (and I will, because they are my children and it is my God given right as a mother!). Grady absolutely LOVES Coopy and the feeling is most definitely mutual for now. Cooper lights up with a huge smile the second Grady gets in his line of vision. I love this...knowing these two little boys will have such a bond is overwhelming to me. Never having a brother I can't even imagine the hoops these two are going to make me jump through - But I'm prepared to jump as much as they demand!

Up next for our family is Grady Edward's 3rd Birthday! January 25th will mark this monumental occasion. I am going to attempt to keep it together for our family's sake but I can't help but feel like my baby is no longer a baby, and boy does he let us know that. You can get away with calling a 2, 2 1/2 year-old a baby but 3 is the cut-off for that one! Now if he can only master the big boy potty my depression will be in full swing! Any tips on the potty issue would be GREATLY appreciated!

After Grady's Birthday we will be anxiously counting down the days to our annual Florida trip in March! I'm very excited to have both the boys this time enjoying the sun and fun! So hopefully between now and then I will have more crazy and funny things to report as my children become "spunkier" (if that is even a word) by the minute! They keep me on my toes, that's for sure!
