I Was There Part 2

I couldn't do it - I tried to narrow down all the pictures, but with a baby as cute as Bubba, there was just too much that happened this past year that I couldn't leave out.

So, let me show you a few more of the things I was there for in his second year of life.....

he wasn't too crazy about Santa....

 but didn't seem to mind the candy cane Santa gave him....

 and his hair...oh dear!

 I didn't cut it for months....fearing his curls and his adorable babyness would all fade as soon as we did....

 yup, he turned into my little man as soon as those curls were cut.

 Bubba is a much better eater than my other two - but extremely determined to eat the food on his own without any help from us.

So what if he makes a huge mess at each meal?

 at least he's eating his peas!

 And Bubba spent a lot of time in his strollers.

Between the older two's school, soccer, & momma's running, this was his home away from home.

 And for the most part, he accepted it...as long as you had a few snacks and an iPhone with Pixars shorts handy.....

 Because of all his "stroller experience", we were able to easily transfer him to this over Spring Break.

 We were also there when his fascination with trains began.  Brody has an incredible collection of Thomas the Train and GeoTrax that he has been setting up for Bubba to play with.  And we have the train that "visits" us behind our house daily.  He was born to love trains.

 and he does....

  He is the source of endless smiles and pulling of heartstrings for this momma.......

when he's rockin.....

or on the verge of fussing......

 or full blown cries

I love this boy with all my heart.

thank God I have been there for all of it.
