14 days and counting and other ramblings

Thanks for your comments and messages about Lily. It is bizarre to live in our home without the tapping of her toenails across the floor. Our house is not quiet by any means but it's still just odd and I'm sure it will be a while before it feels normal again.

I know there is at least one reader who will find this interesting but I started PT again! I had my first session last night and it's amazing how much better I feel! I had a new MRI on my neck and I still have 4 bulging disks in my neck ranging from mild to moderate which gets aggravated by lugging around a 23 pound wiggle monster! I get really excited to go to PT! :) It's like a mini retreat :)

I've been busy working on things for the big birthday party coming up AND a huge project I am working on. The latter might take a while to see any results but I'm hoping for something REALLY exciting to happen! Of course, I'll share more when it's finished! Hopefully sooner than later because if it works out the way I want it to...well, you'll have to wait around to find out :) I am going to try not to post anything about in hopes I don't jinx it!!

Speaking of birthday, I made his invites and they came in this weekend! I made them in Illustrator and then had them printed for uber cheaper at Winkflash! I had my firsthand experience at making something like this and I think they turned out pretty good! I'll post a pic when I get wrapped up with a few other things!

Brady got another tooth! Sleeping the past week has been hit or miss. Naps have been all over the place and so has our night time. Last Saturday, he decided the hours of 12-3 am were great times to scream and then to play. Ah, the joys of parenthood! Then, finally this weekend, tooth #7 surfaced!! The past two nights, sleep has returned to my life again!

I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that my baby is no longer a baby and moving into the world of a toddler but that might change by tomorrow!  Look at him. He looks like a big boy! He's really starting to slim down even more. The rolls are almost gone, now that is sad! Two weeks from today he'll be ONE!

I have to say as sad as I get to see him grow up, he is so much fun right now. All of the things he is doing and the personality that has developed is truly awesome. It really is amazing how such a little helpless newborn can turn into such a determined, strong, willful, happy and sweet little boy who loves loves animals and snuggles with mommy!

I have a lot of posts coming up in the next two weeks and I'm sure we'll be super busy with his birthday, Halloween and his PARTY coming up!

 Someone said the other day that the first birthday is more for the parents to celebrate bringing this amazing child, this miracle into the world and boy, those words could not be any truer!!

Now, I might be late on his 12 month post because I start to write it and seriously have to stop because my eyes well up!
