Being a mother

I love being a mommy! It is like my heart gets a little bit bigger every time I look at my sweet little boy. You can't help but smile when you watch him. Sure he is a toddler and can get frustrating, but my love for him never wavers, it just grows. It is amazing to watch him learn, explore, discover, and grow. It is hard too because it feels like time is moving so quickly with him.
Jake loves to laugh and dance and play with trucks! He is very good at saying "please" and "thanks". I think his favorite word is "shoes". He can tell you what sound a train makes and he has the sound of any animal that growls (bear, lion, tiger etc) down. He can point to his head, hair, eyes, nose, ears, chompers, tongue, shoulders, fingers, knees, and feet. Jake loves to read books. We always read a couple of books before he goes to bed, as soon as his teeth are brushed he runs to his room yelling "book, book, book". 
Jake loves to play with his Dada! He loves to run around the house laughing with dad, he loves to jump with dad, he loves to play with the hose and help work on things in the garage with dad. It is a wonderful blessing to have a husband who loves playing with our son. They laugh together and "give knuckles" together. It is a beautiful and amazing thing to witness. 
I always wanted to be a mom, but I never could have imagined how fabulous it would be! I love being a mommy!
