Sitting here getting sucked into Duck Dynasty like the rest of my friends and family back home in Kentucky and apparently a large portion of the rest of the country. I've resisted so far but Sailor Man downloaded the first 2 seasons on the xbox so the first ever episode is on and...yup I'm sucked in.
Anywho, today was a blast with Little B. He's absolutely adorable. He's learning so many new things. Like when I say "shake your noggin'," he shakes his noggin'...in the most adorable whole body shake kind of way. Tonight, I had a pen in my hand and he thought it was awesome so naturally I capped it and let him have it. He used it as a drum stick on my side, his feet, and his dipey. Then he ever so naturally mounted his little baby leg on mine stuck the arm with the pen straight out in front in the most noble of knightly ways as to say, "onward men to victory". It.Was.Presh! Presh I tell you! Then he held it out to his side and looked down at his baby biceps and I kid you not, he flexed. Both arms out crooked at the elbow and flexed and looked at his biceps and back at me and back at his muscles. Of course it was something worth repeating to him because I am positively giddy with excitement laughing as loud as I've ever laughed with pure pride and joy at the adorable faces he is making. Then we change his rank dipey and while he's laying on his back he's flailing his arms around like a crazy looney and I say "put your dukes up," and he stops looks at me and puts his little hands into tiny baby fists and tenses up and looks at me so stern. Then he follows with more flailing and we repeat the process and again I'm beside myself with amazement at what my tiny man can do. Will he do it tomorrow...maybe, maybe not but he did it tonight and it's official...he is all boy.

A Quiet Moment to Myself
These are few and far between since having a tiny baby. Well, usually about 5 nights apart now when Sailor Man has duty. He'll be coming home later tonight so I best get out all my jumbled thoughts before then so I can head to bed with him when he does get in.
Just put Little B down for bed a while ago and my precious boy is no fuss no muss once we sing our lullaby and say our prayers. I thank God each and every day for our little boy. He has brought so much joy to our lives and I can't imagine not being his mommy. Even when the screaming for no reason fits set in...I wouldn't have it any other way without him.
The past couple of days have been crazy with him seemingly trying to begin to speak. New sounds are emerging from his tiny mouth and I'm on pins and needles when he gets into his element and just says all of them. I wait ever so impatiently to hear mama or dada come out in the most precious voice ever. He pretty much said daddy today but since I couldn't get him to do it again I told Sailor Man it didn't count ;) He's becoming more and more balanced as we stand him up and let go of him. He'll be walking soon. He's been army crawling for a couple months now and just 2 days ago on the first Sunday we went to our new church he straight out crawled like a big boy all over the place. I thought he was fast on his belly, he's like super man fast on all fours haha!
I'm sitting here with a dopey, lovey, mommy look on my face just thinking about all the sweet and precious things he does every day that no one gets to enjoy like I do. I'll never take for granted the little smiles, happy squeals, batting eye lashes or the "shake your noggin's" he loves to do now. This little boy has my heart wrapped around his tiny little fingers and I have never felt so much love in all my life.

Will Today Be the Day?
Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet. A place where I hope to start hanging out more often to preserve the special memories of what is my life. If you stick around I'm quite certain you'll find out so much about me and my little family. I could go on forever now explaining this and that, but there is no time. I have to get this out there and get a tiny bit started or I will put it off yet again and this little bloggity blog will remain empty forever.
First of all, my sweet little B woke up after 12.5 glorious hours of uninterrupted sleep. He woke up so happy and almost instantly started his new sounds and I almost had a heart attack when he gooed something that sounded a lot like Daddy. That silly boy! Doesn't he know he's a momma's boy and needs to say momma first? Oh well, 8 months old... I'll take whatever he wants to start saying and be the happiest momma on earth! It's all happening so fast! Yesterday after his 2 hour nap which rarely happens anymore he woke up saying new things (well as much as an 8 month old who doesn't say anything can say) new sounds like gigi, and yaya, and didi, and I've noticed the baba and mama almost sounds he was making a few days back are no longer in that mix. On to new and better things I guess. We'll come back to those soon...I hope haha! I wonder if today will be the day I get to hear his first word. I also wonder if today will be the day that I finally get this blog up and going. Who knows where we'll end up if today is the day.
