Big thanks to my mom, who brought to my attention it's been a long time since I have written in my blogs.
Wow a lot has happened since August. Lets recap: Ami started getting sick at Halloween and stayed that way for the next six weeks. At the end of November or beginning of December we took him to Silver Dollar City so he could see the Christmas lights. Very cool stuff. Christmas went really well. We were able to spend the weekend with my grandparents in Eminence. We made it to just about every family gathering. There was the feeding tube incident Christmas morning; but what holiday season is complete for Amadeus, without a trip to the hospital? He is also completely done with his therapies! Thanks Nana. We couldn't be where we are today without you.
We just recently took the rails off of Ami's crib. (He has been sleeping at the grandmas' houses in a big boy bed for quite a while now.) He loves it. I love the fact that he hasn't figured out he can willingly get off of it. The first two nights were rough. He fell out once each night. Now he has a mesh rail thing on one side to keep him in.
He is growing up way to fast, and I have a love-hate relationship with it all. I love watching him learn new things, and get so excited about the littlest stuff. He is starting to express his love to us. He is so smart, and he wants to learn. He is starting to come out of his comfort bubble, and is realizing how fun this world is. I hate the huge fits in the middle of Walmart. I hate seeing him so socially awkward around other children. I hate the days he just lays in his bed talking and kicking his feet on the wall instead of taking a nap AND then he is horrible two hours after you finally let him get up and the rest of your night sucks. Yes I do know that was a huge run on sentence but jeez. Josh and I joke that this is the crap people don't tell you about when your going to have a kid. Everyone who dares to go through all of this more than once is crazy and my hero. I could never do it. Most of all I hate seeing the little glimps of "kid" coming out. There are times where I realize that I am having a full conversation with him! He wants to do everything we do, and he wants to do it all by himself. He is realizing he has a choice in certian decisions. The toddler moments are disappearing. He's almost three! WHAT?!? These past couple of years have flown by. Next is kindergarten, and that moment will get here just as fast as this moment has. I hate it.
Medically, 2012 was awesome. He went to the hospital twice, and once was scheduled. Ami has had his feeding tube for a year now. In that year it has been changed three times, twice because it fell out. He went to urgent care a couple of times, and the doctor way less often. He is now on the growth cart and, is curving! He is eating so many more types of foods I never thought he would do. He can skip, and jump several times in a row with both feet off the ground. I could almost bet by this time next year he is starting to read.
Being a mom to this amazing little boy is the best thing ever. 2012 was a wonderful year, and I am so excited to see what 2013 has in store for our little family.
