Before you came into my world

To my sweet baby Seth,

Before you came into my world

I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before you came into my world
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before you came into my world
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before you came into my world
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.

Before you came into my world
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before you came into my world ,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom..
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before you came into my world

But you know what Baby Seth - I am so blessed to call you "My Son" and I love having you in my world. I love you more than the whole world and back. Thank you Jesus for this precious gift.

Sixteen Months today

Today Seth James is 16 months old. Boy they sure grow up way to fast.

Sometimes, I wish I can slow down the growing process so I can enjoy the time when he was smaller.

He is our precious miracle baby and Oh how I love this lil man.

Happy 16 month day baby boy. Mama Loves you more than the whole world and back.

Did I mention these new Milestones

So last week my hubbie, me and Seth went to North Carolina. I went to visit some friends and Herbie went for business. During the four days we were up there, Seth met some milestones. Our friends have wood floors in their home. Well, seth felt pretty confident I suppose in his walking skills and began to take much more steps. One day he even walked like 10 steps or so. I was too happy, he then voluntarily as teaching him how to blow kisses with his hand for many months, decided that he would impress everyone he met by throwing kisses to them at their request. That was so cute !

The last milestone was that on our way back home at the Charlotte airport, we decided to have lunch at Chili's, so I ordered a glass of water and as I placed the straw inside. Seth motioned that he wanted some water. As I placed the straw in his mouth not expecting anything to come out, the little stinker wrapped his little lips around the straw and WHOLA - The water came flowing out right into his mouth. He's been sucking out of straw ever since. My heart swelled with pride watching our little man conquer these milestones in his life.

Well since I am on a bragging role - I am proud to announce that SETH IS OFFICIALLY WALKING - YEP - 15 months later but he is now walking. Can you tell that I am one proud Mama?

Seth's 15th Month Check-up

Now isin't that a smile that will melt your heart. I know it melts mine everytime I look into his eyes.

Today, Seth James is 15months old. Where did the time go. His check-up went well. Doctor says he is doing great, he weighed in at 22 lbs and 13 ounces and he is 30.5" in height. His head is 48" (big head and she said that he has a big IQ and alot of brains) so yayyyy.

Seth's development is good, although he is walking alittle bit she said that if he stands on his own and takes a few steps than that's considered walking and YES he is doing that. I mentioned to her about his climbing abilities. The climbing thing is becoming quite dangerous. Just yesterday, he climbed a little toy table (don't ask me how he got up there) but when I looked Seth was on all fours on this little table and of course seconds later, he tumbled to the hard floor and let out a yiping scream. Then a couple of hours later, he grabbed a big truck that he has placed it right near the coffee table and stood on that to climb on top of the coffee table. Within seconds he came tumbling down again and let out another yiping scream. Seth is a major climber :)

Other than that, his doctor says that he is doing great and he did have to receive 3 shots today, HEP A, The Flu shot & DTAP (not fun - poor baby screamed so much, we were home by 12:00 noon, he fell fast asleep in the car and is still sleeping) Poor Baby !!!! Well that's all for now. I will be posting pictures of seth's forever family day soon !!! Stay in Touch.

NOV. 5TH (SETH'S FOREVER FAMILY DAY)

Yes! Can you hardly believe it, today Nov 5th is our (1) year forever family date anniversary. Seth James is forever ours !!!!

Having Seth join our family is a BIG miracle and today we are going to celebrate.
