Finally....

         My Child has FINALLY started sleeping in his crib all night! Though I miss are late night cuddles,I so don't miss the being kicked and hit.We are both so rested when we wake up.He's only been doing it for a week, and only after one night of some tough love. I had to adjust how I was going about getting him to stay and sleep all night in his crib.Everyone was saying to let him cry it out,which is fine I have know problem with that. The one thing was,everyone was saying to pat him and tell him to go back to sleep, to just stay in the room with him. Well that didn't work,he got more upset when he could actually see me. So the first time he woke up ,I had went in there and he threw the big fit, so I left. So after a few minutes of course he is fast asleep. Then a few hours later he was up again,this time I didn't go in, I cracked the door and peaked in. He was fine and he wasn't even standing and screaming like he usually  is he was just fussing and moving around. He woke up a once of twice more that night,but I didn't go back in there,I just peaked in on him.So ever since then he's done great. He's even started to sleep in when we can! Like I said I am sleeping better,but ever time I wake up I have to go check on him.I can't help my self, long gone the nights of sleeping through with out waking up. Since Trace has been born I have supersonic hearing, I can wake up to a pen drop, I have the six sense like know other. I know a hurt cry from a tired cry to a hungry cry. I know my child like the back of my own hand. There is nothing like being a mother!
    Trace has been walking and taking a few steps for the last few weeks,but now he is really after it. He walks everywhere, and hardly crawls anymore. He is always on the more,never still not even for a minute.When he falls ,he's right back at it 90 to nothing. Trace is such a fast learned,you show him how to do something once and usually he'll do it to. He loves for you to chase him, and he's pretty fast!       

                  Well everyone have a good Monday

Monday......

 Another weekend has came and gone......I hate Monday's,it's something about starting the same thing over again that just gets under my skin.The week is so repetitive,well most of the times. Not that I don't like routine,because I do. I thrive for routine, but it's something about Monday's that it is so not routine,it's the opposite,it's chaos.
  On another note,I plan to get back on my diet today. I have been doing weightwatchers ,but I have fallen off the wagon for the last two weeks so i'm jumping back on. I probably shouldn't have had that krispy kreme mocha this morning but Oh well.
                           Well everyone have a wonderful week!!!!!

Playing catch up.

              I have so much to catch up on since the last time I posted! So where to begin? The 4th of July has came and gone already! This year is just zooming by us,which makes me really sad! I guess I'll start with the 4th of July. We went to the lake with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend,her parents and my mother-in-law. We headed up there after I got off work on Friday. We had such amazing time while we were there. Trace was such a joy ,and was so happy all weekend! He loved the water and sleep alot when we were on the boat.He had to get use to the life jacket,but after he did it didn't seem to bother him that much.Trace didn't get to see any fireworks this year,when we were on the lake we were going to watch them saturday night but the boast would not start. Then Monday night the actually 4th,they always shoot tons in our subdivison,so I thought he would get to see somethen,but of course he was asleep. So may next year my little man can see some fireworks. So the 4th of July was really good. Trace is now walking,not full speed ahead but he is walking,he rather crawl because he's so much faster but he's walking more and more each day. I hate that my little guy is growing up so fast, and that to make it worst his 1st birthday is at the end of next month. I never knew a year could go by so fast it seems like we just bought him home and that he should still be itty bitty!
    I'm reading a new book by charlaine Harris which is the author of Sookie stackhouse novels. The name of the book is grace sight,its a series called The Harper Connelly Mysteries,and so far it's really good. I've been trying to read alot more,but sometimes it's really hard to do and I get so distracted sometimes. I've been reading a little when I'm home with Trace and he's taking a nap. When I get done with this book I have another waiting to be read The Yada Yada Prayer Group. It looks really good and I've heard good things about it.
   In less then a month will be are 4 year wedding anniversary. It doesn't seem that we've been married that long.I guess time flys when your with someone you love and adore. I think I know what I'm going to get him and I hope he likes it. He asked me what I wanted last night and to be honest I have no idea, I have everything that I could ever want,but i'm sure I could think of a little something else :) .

Praying......

       The other day I was looking on my news feed on Facebook, and saw were Wayne's cousin Stacey had posted a link to a blog , it had a cute little baby's picture on it and said to pray so I clicked on it. After that I started to read ,and my heart started to break for a family that I didn't even know. I have not been able to stop thinking about them, I pray that God wraps his arms around this family.They asked that everyone pray for 1. Miller's COMFORT 2. Cole's UNDERSTANDING 3. Meredith and Patrick's STRENGTH. Miller is there son that was born in March that is sick with SMA Type 1 (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), and Cole is there oldest son. I could not ever imagine, having to go through

A picture is a memory.....

       So yesterday Trace had his picture taken a two river's park by the ever so lovely Beck Gibson. The pictures turned out great and i'm so pleased with them!! I must say I have the cutest little boy ever!!! He melts my heart and boy can he take a picture! He has been so much fun lately. He has taken a few steps by himself,so he will be walking before long.

Boo boo

        So my Trace got his first boo boo over the weekend! The First of many to come,but I had been trying really hard to hold this first off as long as I could! I was off Friday so Wayne took off to and we went home for the weekend. That afternoon we were at my mother-in-laws house playing under the carport. Trace was showing everyone how he could walk with his push toy. Some how he managed to flip when he got between Wayne and his granny. It was knowones fault ,but anyway he hit his head on the chair right above his eye. He got a knot and a bruise,and he's prefectly fine. I snuggled him up just like mommy's do and he was ready to play some more! I meant to take a picture,but I didn't get around to it. It's just a light yellow bruise now that you can hardly see.
