So much to say

It has been very hectic in the Thomas household. With a 2 year old and a 2 month old life is a little blurry. Lets see Some Firsts for Miss. Aria

She has started cooing a lot and it is beyond precious.
She went to her 2 month check up and saw Dr. Denton. She weighed 11lb 0.5 oz and was 22 inch long. 50% in all. She got her first set of shots and was pretty upset for a bout 30 seconds and all was right with the world again. She is such a sweetheart but so much a girl. When I took the bandaids off it was the end of the world.
We went and hung out at the park and she got to lay and watch the trees blow.
We have went on many trips with her cousins Mia and Harper. We are going to miss them so so much when they go.
We got a Moby wrap which she LOVES I have tried a few carriers but this is my favorite by far. She loves loves it and it makes my life so much easier. When grocery shopping with her and Jax I put her in the wrap and Jax in the cart and the basket is free for groceries.
She has discovered her love of laying on her back on the and watching the fan and jax playing.
Jax loves talking to his sister and watching him talk to her and hold her hand melts my heart. I love them both so so much.

We have all had a bit of the stomach bug this week and weekend. It started with Jax then me, then Justin and Aria hasnt fully gotten it but is not her happy self. It is a slow and painful process.....


Now on to Jax

I am so proud to say that Jax is talking so so much. Its crazy how it seems like the last couple of weeks his vocab has just grown so so much. He talks in complete sentences and asks questions. He tells us he loves us without us saying it first. He says "oh my gosh" which I dont know how to feel about..... Its crazy. He is a little boy now. He has a new found love for the power rangers and we got a bag of tiny toys at goodwill that had one in it and he has not let go since. His love for batman, hulk, iron man well actually any superhero. His grandma Peggy made him a batman cape and he flies around the house all the time now fighting off the evil of our couch and chairs.

These past 11 weeks has been truly amazing. Being a mom is such a gift and no one should take it for granted. Yes sometimes I may want to pull my hair out and sometimes I am beyond tired and when I look at my living room with toys literally everywhere I just shake my head. But these blue eyed babies have my heart and I am so blessed they call me Mom.
I am pretty proud of myself. I have really been praying for more patience with Jax and the ability to not let my exhaustion and sometimes anger out on him. And surprisingly not he has been such a good boy. He feeds off of me. If I am calm and relaxed he is also. I have always prayed for Jax to have a gentle heart, a humble soul. I have prayed he grows to be man of love and honesty. A man who puts God first. I realized that praying for these things is great but he has to learn these things from Justin and I. Its time that we do these things as parents so our babies will grow to be the adults I pray for them to be.
This morning at church we learned about Grace. That the sin we allow in our life is always growing and expanding but Grace grows beyond measure. Grows more than the sin in our life. If we accept it. We cant just live in the sin and expect that the sin will remain small. God gives so much grace. So much that when we receive it we should give others grace. The law of the church does not get people to grace. The love we give gets people to grace. When we receive grace we want to give grace and Justin and I as parents need to teach Jax and Aria the wonderful gift of giving not only love but grace to everyone. Simply Amazing.


 I have discovered over the last week if I just put my phone away and live life in the moment life is so beautiful. More beautiful then I realized. Everyone and I think most have this problem, should put the phone away and you will realize how much you  actual life you miss. I have been on a slow technology detox and it feels so good. Life is to precious and beautiful to view it from behind a screen all the time.

Going back to work this week will be so bittersweet. I am so thankful to have had the time off that I have had and to work at such a wonderful job to let me come back part time. I must say overall I should be thankful for everything and everyone in my life.
