17 Months!

I say it all the time, but I really cannot believe how fast time flies!!!!  This post is dedicated to my pride and joy, JJ!  He is all of 17 months old now and just full of life! Never a dull moment at our house, he is definitely all boy and into everything!!  He has a really fun/funny personality and it has been so amazing watching him develop into his own little person!  What a gift being a parent really is!  I wouldn't trade it for anything!  With that said, Joey and I are, however, very excited and looking forward to next month because our big boy will be going to....THE NURSERY! HIP HIP HOORAY!  I'm not gonna lie or sugar coat it, church has been a little bit of a challenge the last couple of months... Probably more so for Joey than for me, and I am so thankful for his support!  I couldn't be a primary teacher without him helping walk the halls for the last 2 hours of church with JJ:) Our routine has gone as follows: Me out in the foyer for the first hour with him, (because he can't sit still for more than 5 minutes..) than Joey takes over for the rest of the time till church is over.  So needless to say we are looking forward to a little bit of a break, and I think JJ will really like it too! I am also happy to report that he has completely caught up developmentally (due to prematurity) and we couldn't be happier!!  We have been really blessed that he didn't have any "major" health problems and we are just so thankful to have a happy and healthy boy!
