Man, we had an extremely challenging day today, but otherwise, he's so beautiful, he's so happy - all the time! It's so hard to not be happy around him. He's hilarious, super funny kid. Just like his daddy. I can see so much of myself in him everyday, even though he's DHs MiniMe. He always makes sure I"m happy, he gets super sad when I'm upset. During my m/c this was heartbreaking.

Anyway, that was more than 3, but it's because of him I want more children. I just love him so much, how could I not want more? I could have 1000 of him.

My ds is the reason why I have made it through and continue to make it through sif. He is the reason I have pulled myself together when I so badly wanted to fall apart. He is five now and I love how he tells me he loves me and gives the hugs and kisses out of no where. I consider him my little miracle and could not even imagine what my life would be like without him. He really is the sweetest little man.

DD is the most precious perfect little girl (imo). She has the most unique personality, a blend of my friendliness and DH mischievousness. I love how she is learning new things everyday, and only learns what she wants to. She is independent and yet still loves to snuggle and be loved on. Her actions are just unexpected and usually make me laugh.

Her just being here each and every day brings me joy. I want so badly to have another and see what kind of child God blesses us with next.

She brings joy in so many ways, but what stands out recently is her vocabulary is in full bloom. We had a couple of birthdays so now she sings the "Happy Birthday" song and it's the sweetest thing I've ever heard. But what really brings me joy is that she has finally started saying "I love you." It's more like "I wuff you" and it is darling! Hearing those words warms my heart! Oh, and the third way is that she does this big squeeze thing when she gives hugs and you can tell she's using all of her strength to squeeze you as tight as possible. I call her my little monster!

DD makes me slow down and enjoy the moment. When I'm down or taking myself too seriously, she snaps me out of it.

She sees things in a totally different way and says things I would never imagine. She has me laughing all day long!

I love her determination. She never gives up and tries something until she nails it. My mom calls it stuburn, but I think it, combined with her empathy and kindness, will get her far. I love watching her try and try saying, "I got it, " the whole time.

Forgot to answer my own post - whoops!

1. DD loves to make up her own songs. I used to do the same at her age and I love to listen to her, especially in the car. She comes up with some pretty good stuff!

2. DD is obsessed with animals. Full on obsession. I love to watch her try to interact with them - so sweet and innocent, yet incredibly connected. I become filled with awe and joy that this beautiful, sensitive child came from me.

3. DD has been exposed to the odd brand of humor our extended family enjoys, and she's picked up on it very well. She makes her own jokes and says some pretty silly stuff, which always makes me laugh. Then, seeing her smile, itjust makes it better!

Johnny is the happiest, most loving kid I have ever met. He challenges me every.single.day but I know that is because it is his way of learning and growing. He has the biggest brightest smile that he pulls out in the exact right moments. He is a sponge that completely soaks in the things around him and it amazes me how quickly he learns. He makes me laugh when I need it most, gives me hugs when I need them most, and has shown me that love truly can be unconditional. There are many times when I look at him and just cannot believe he is mine. My own little amazing miracle.

I know I didn't separate them in three ways, but I just couldn't isolate it.

i'm so blessed to have my DS and we are so in love with this child. i honestly feel like everything he does brings joy to my life! i love how sweet and kind he is...that he talks all the time and loves counting...that he gets so excited about the tiniest things and "pleases and thank yous" us every chance he gets. i love that he says he's sorry when he should and always wants a hug. i love that he calls me sweetie sometimes because i say it to him. i love that he prays before bedtime and adds that he would like God to bless "mama and daddy with baby". i could go on all day. he and his daddy are the joy of my life. i pray that we'll be blessed with more babes so DS can have siblings!
