Fall...

I love fall...the ability to cook and bake without making your house to hot, the smells, and the changing weather. I do enjoy the change into the holiday season. As I sit here I realize that this holiday season is going to be oh so fun and go oh so fast! To be blessed with a two-year-old around the holidays is going to be a blast! Blake is not going to know what hit him during the two weeks of opening presents for both his birthday and Christmas-and I am anxiously awaiting that time as he is getting bored with his toys but I don't want to buy him any know the onslaught of stuff that is coming! Luckily he LOVES books and enjoys reading all of them, he has a pretty amazing memory for a little one that makes some people ask me if he can already read, because he can pick up a book and tell you a title or "read" a part of a page. It has been so fun watching his vocabulary increase, and to get to have little conversations with him because he now can speak in short sentences. He is wonderful and I am fully blessed I can't believe that he is almost two-where has the time gone. In the midst I hope and pray that I am soaking it up enough, not taking a moment for granted and at the same time I find myself exited for his future and the pleasure of meeting the amazing man that God has created him to be.

As well as loving my little guy I am starting to feel this little one more and more each day-she is making herself known-not as much as Blake did-but known. Blake loves to "find sis" which equals him lifting my shirt up and poking my belly button and today he gave my belly a hug and said "hug sis." So precious. But at the same time he has his moments with this whole idea...like the day I was hanging up some clothes I had gotten and some things my mom had brought me that I wore when I was little girl-he came in the room and pointed at the pile and said "baby sis?" and I said "Yes these are for baby sister." He then promptly walked up the pile and threw them all on the floor! Ha! How blessed I feel to have them both and I can hardly wait to meet her in 16 weeks!
