I'm PREGNANT!!!!

....is what I said to Kevin one year ago tomorrow (heheh). Actually, this is how the conversation went:

Setting- Our bedroom, December 1st, 5AM

I get out of bed to get ready for work and decided to pee on a stick.... it's what I did at the time :) So I pee, put the stick down on the counter and go about my business. I get ready to get in the shower and glance over at the pregnancy test..... ::faint:: it's positive.... I can't believe it...I pick it up and start shaking, run out of the bathroom and tell Kevin "I'm pregnant!!!!!!"

"Turn the light off- I can't see" says Kevin..... for serious? I just give you life altering news and you tell me the light is too bright??? Needless to say I don't turn off the light, I just shove the test in his face (cause I'm nice like that :) ) and tell him again that I'm pregnant.... hugging and excitement ensues and 9 months later we were blessed with the most wonderful baby in the world!

I can't believe how much he's changed- from a little speck on the ultrasound screen to this smiling, laughing, babbling little person we see today...we are so lucky!

My Life

Kevin writing again.... I love my life, in no small part because I have a beautiful wife that gave me a sweet, charming, handsome son. I look at him and see his mother, a warm smile, wily personality, and someone that loves me unconditionally. I feel thankful that when I wake up, I get to roll over and look at Brittney, and then wander into Deacon's room wake him and change his diaper. Despite waking him he is never short on smiles for me. We have a routine, I sing to him, he smiles and coos at me while I get him in a clean diaper. Then it's off to mommy to eat. I could not now imagine my life and morning routine absent Britt and Deacon. Finding my other half in Brittney and then having Deacon has completed me. I wish for everyone that they find/have the happiness and feeling of completeness I have. Life is certainly good.

New Toy!

We got Deacon a jumperoo from Target tonight and he LOVES it!! He's a little short for it but we put a pillow under him and he fit perfectly!

Aaaand back to work for me tomorrow :( more about that in a different post....

Only the cutest baby ever :)

Scooter

Here's some video of him scooting- kind of long but you get the idea :)

We have a Houdini on our hands!

Deacon has taken to scooting... He's been able to do it for a week or so on his back. He digs his feet into the ground and pushes off and he's able to move himself pretty good, as evident by the pictures below. I just noticed today that he could scoot on his belly too. He scrunches his legs up and pushes off with his feet, scooting forward- he hasn't even mastered rolling over and he's trying to move on to crawling :) Speaking of rolling over, he's figured out how to roll from his back to his side, he just can't quuuiiite make it onto his belly yet- soon, I'm sure :)

He started here....

then turned himself 90 degrees and scooted to the edge of the mat...amazing :)
