"Bad times make the good times better"

I would definitely agree with the title of this post.  When we were in our seven years of waiting, I would often daydream about certain moments that all parents experience at one point or another.  Or I would see family/friends with their little ones and think, "awe, I can't wait until that is me in the Mommy role." 

My baby isn't so much a baby anymore.  He will always be my baby, but he is drastically becoming a very thriving toddler.  As much as it makes me sad that we are growing out of the baby stage already, it is very exciting to experience all of his "firsts" with him.  And I've been able to catch a few of those moments I longed for on "film."  Not all of them, but some that I will cherish for life.  Like...

Early morning snuggles on the couch (yes, I have bed head and proud of it!)

Tiny fingers wrapped around my fingers.

Little hands tugging at my pants, wanting "up." (I know you are wanting to know where to get that awesome kitchen flooring.)

Plus, all of the moments I haven't been able to catch on "film" yet...like the hugs and kisses, especially when I'm not asking for one and he gives me one anyway.  The 7 years of waiting has made the last year and almost 4 months so much sweeter.  We are blessed with an amazing little Nugget!

And here is a cute picture, just because.
