he knows me
This morning I started looking at baby pictures of Colt. Every time I do that I just can't believe how fast it's gone and how hard sometimes it is to remember the curves of his plump newborn face. He was so small!
I tried really hard to breath in every moment of when he was a newborn. It seems so long ago. I'd like to relive on of those days again.
I'm reminiscing, getting teary and then I hear Colt saying my name from his room. He had just woken up. I go in there and he's so happy to see me, as always. Typically I pick him up and he runs off to the kitchen for food or to go find Copper but today the first thing he said was, Mama, Hold me?
I picked him up and he sat on my hip just staring me in the face with a sweet smile on. Then he wiggled his little body around so that I could cradle him in my arms. And with his head tucked in close to my elbow, resting on my chest and his legs dangling down to my knees...he rested there while I rocked him and for a second I saw my newborn baby boy in his toddler face.
I can't relive September 08 but today God created a moment for me that was the next best thing.

hey, howdy, hey!
We had a good start to 2011, here's what's been happenin'...in a nut shell:
- Andy and I did another weight lose competition which we both sucked at. I ended up gaining 1 lb I think. Ha! Not really the goal I had in mind. I need to seriously dig deep here! I wanna loose 20 more by June. We're thinking about trying the Paleo diet together. Not that I WANT to but I've been at a standstill since Thanksgiving. Blah. I would miss cheese. I'm also on the slow track to training for a 1/2 marathon June 6th too. I'm scared! Shizz!
- We celebrated our 4th Anniversary at home on the 27th. Good times. :)
- Copper wore one of Molly's skirts.
- We planned a ski trip for our Anniversary and just before getting to our destination I realized that I forgot my wallet and we had to drive the long road home...skiless and wordless because Andy wasn't talking to me. Ha! He really wanted to go skiing I guess : /
- Molly got on all fours and with all four limbs trembling from the weight of her chunky torso, she stayed up for a few seconds. We all clapped and cheered like a bunch of idiots.
- Colt fell in love with Buzz & Woody. One night Colt ran over with his bottom lip out yelling, 'Wood, ARM OFF!!' What he meant to say was...Woodys head fell off. I laughed. We tossed Woodys head in the trash, then Colt wanted to keep the headless Woody to keep playing with. I laughed some more. Eventually he tossed Woody that night and the next day Andy upgraded Woody. Colt was so happy. Colt IS so happy. I've never seen the kid play with a toy like he plays with Woody. Unfortunately, little Buzz got the boot and is typically found at the bottom of the toy box or under the couch :/ Just like in the movie. Someday we'll upgrade little Buzz too. Someday.
