It has become very apparent to me in the past few weeks how quickly babies grow up. I know all of you told me. But it seems like just yesterday that Aiden was sleeping almost all day and everyone was concerned that he wasn't "alert" enough. Aiden is now sitting up...very well...reaching for EVERYTHING!!!...and definately is getting his little personality. He is a GREAT boy. I want so much for him. I want him to stand (or sit) proud of himself and his family. I want him to go after everything that makes him happy...even if those things aren't what I would have chosen. I want him to never be afraid to make a decision or try something new. I want him to be successful...of course I want him to go to college but you know what..if he doesn't I am going to still love him a TON!!!! He has changed my life forever and makes getting up every single day worth the effort. I remember I once told Stephen and Greg that I never though I would feel as greatful as I felt on my wedding day again...and Greg looked at me like I was crazy...he told me I would on the day my children were born. And he was right on...Everyday I feel more greatful than the day before. Everyday I see my son and can't imagine him not being around. Everyday I am greatful for such a loving child. I am so excited about hosting Thanksgiving...not only do I get to cook...but I get to share my joyful child with my new family. A family that has made me feel accepted since the first Christmas Eve I met them.
I guess I want everyone to know that I am exceptionally GREATFUL this year. I am thankful that I have a WONDERFUL husband, a BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY child, a loving, caring, supporting family and a LIFE even my dreams couldn't have created. Oh and don't forget my friends. I might not have many.....but I have the best friends in the world.
