"Leon, my son, this blog is for you
To tell you each day that I love you
From the sweet things you do, to the silly things you say
I will tell you that I love you everyday." - Love, your Mama.

Fuzzy Blankets & Snuggles

A Lazy Sunday
We made today a lazy Sunday. You are still getting better from being sick last week, and Mommy is now fighting the same cold bug. So today turned into a day of rest and a very lazy Sunday. We watched movies and snuggled, ate chicken noodle soup and took a nap. You made me smile when you gave me a big hug tonight and simply said "Mama." You make me so happy, even on these sick days. I am a blessed Mama! I love you sweet heart!

Home Sweet Home

October 6th 2012 10:33pm,
Being away from home all weekend was hard for me. Seeing you today made me so happy! As soon as we opened the front door and you saw me, you began jumping up and down and smiling. You gave me the biggest most welcoming home as you wrapped your little arms around my neck. I missed you so much my sweet pea, and I am so happy to be home with you now! I love you Leon! :)

Little Ears

October 4th 2012 10:10pm,
Ear Infections
It has been quite a busy day. Today you started antibiotics for your 7th ear infection. Since you have had so many we are being refered to a ear specialist. There is a big possibility you will end up needing tubes put in, but first we will meet with the specialist. Tomorrow Mommy is leaving with Nana for 2 days to go to Women of Faith. It will be my first time being away from you Leon, and I will miss you very much. I am so excited, and I know I will have fun! You and Daddy get to spend time hanging out doing boy stuff, and I know you will be safe and happy. Your Mommy and Daddy love you very much Leon! :)
 
Sweet dreams my sweet baby boy! I love you! *Hugs & Kisses*

A Stay At Home Day

October 3rd 2012 9:57pm,
Helping Mommy Bake Pumpkin Bread
Fall is here, and so is cold season. You have been fighting a cold for a couple of days, and now Mommy is getting it too, making today a perfect stay at home day. Between snuggles and taking a nice nap we baked some pumpkin bread today. You had fun helping in the kitchen by taking every baking utensile out of the drawer and placing them randomly around the house. After that you were very hungry, so I made you some macaroni and cheese. You did very well eating with your fork. I am still amazed at how much you grow and learn and change before my very eyes!
Every day spent with you is precious, even the sick days. I love you with all my heart Leon! :)
 
~All my love, Your Mama

Happy Birthday To Daddy!

October 2nd 2012 9:54pm,

Today was Daddy's 23rd birthday! We planned a suprise birthday party for him, and a suprise gift, his dream accoustic bass guitar! It was so hard to keep it all a secret, but the look on his face was so worth it! You had lots of fun helping with the party and playing with all the balloons. Your Daddy loves music and loves to play guitar. I can tell already that music will be a big part of your life as well. You love to sing and dance, play Daddy's guitars and your Papa's drums too! I love how excited you get with music, and I can't wait to see how you will grow and learn even more. Mommy and Daddy love you very much Leon!

~Love, your Mama
Here is a picture of Daddy's new guitar!
"Happy birthday! We love you!"-Karissa & Leon

Sleepy Sweetpea

October 1st 2012 11:06pm,
Finally Sleeping

I feel so bad when you don't feel good. Getting new teeth and having a cold is tough. Tonight you kept fighting sleep, but I knew eventually you would crash. Finally you grabbed your blanket and pointed to Mommy and Daddy's bed. I knew this meant you wanted to snuggle. So you layed down with Mommy and soon you were asleep. I guess when you are sick there is no better medicine than a warm cozy bed and your Mommy to hold you. That reminds me of that sweet song...
"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be." 
I love you with all my heart Leon!
 
~Love, your Mommy
