Has it really been this long since my last post?! I guess with a baby growing before my eyes and one inside my belly I've been a little preoccupied. And tired. And blessed.
Ok so we got all moved back into our old house and couldn't feel more at home. Gosh to finally feel like we're home is such a blessing. I feel safe and secure and 100% comfortable raising my boys here. How nice.
Wyatt, you are still amazing! 18 1/2 months old! What a little boy you are turning into. We put up your little playset in the backyard and so far you love climbing the little ladder and going down the slide. Not too into the swings but you can't really swing alone so next year hopefully. Your absolute favorite thing to do is use your plastic screwdriver and "tighten" all the screws. Its so funny no matter what park we go to you just want make sure it was built right. Daddy keeps telling you your going to college and to ignore the carpentry fascination. But we all know its just in your blood. You can't help it- you are a Binker. So what else? I'm sure there's a long list but lets just say dirt, sticks, trucks, tractors, tools and time in the garage with daddy. You love anything that makes noise and has wheels. Except the air compressor- that caught you off guard one day and you still tell it no no when you walk by. 100% BOY!
One thing you do daily that just melts my heart is acknowledge your brother. You lift my shirt and put toys on my belly, give kisses and lay your head down. I don't know how you know but I swear you do. I'll be reading you stories and out of nowhere you pull my shirt up and pat my belly and leave your hand resting there like you want brother to be included. So sweet! I think you'll be an amazing big brother. You just have such a loving heart. I've gone through all of the emotions and questioning how do I love another as much as I love you but in the end you've been the one to calm my fears. I can now see that your capacity to love simply grows right along with the family. I could have never guessed the feelings I would have of being a mother to you so I'm sure it will just double when your brother gets here. Which is soon...
Yes our lives are about to change. We will no longer be a family of 3 but a family of 4. I never liked odd numbers anyway. I told daddy the other day that even though we haven't met boy #2 yet, I feel like he's a missing piece that will soon complete our puzzle. Can't wait.... Love Mom
