A blog? What in the he** am I thinking? Like I need one more task to add to my routine of being a wife, mother of a 2 year old and account manager in the corporate world, but..... here goes nothing. I am going to use this blog to be able to jot down all the silly, sweet and funny things that my 2 year old does and says. I have read many of random blogs out there, actually i am pretty obsessed with reading blogs, but have never gotten the courage to start my own.......until now. My only wish is that I would have started this sooner. When we, my husband and I, found out that we were going to become parents, I thought that I would be the perfect mom who kept up with baby books and never missed a single opportunity to record my sons life, but lets face it..... I suck at it. Life gets so crazy some times that I am lucky if I remember to whip out the handy dandy phone to snap a picture. That is one of the many flaws that I have on this crazy life journey that we call motherhood. But it is a new year and I am going to start now. Here goes nothing......
A couple quick facts about Harlen James Wilson!
- Harlen will be (insert sad face) 2 years old on February 12th and is an amazing, adorable and sweet baby (I know, he is technically not a baby anymore, but i am not willing to admit that to myself).
- We say that Harlen is going to be a future sports star because he is OBSESSED with anything sports. Hand him a ball and watch out. He has an arm like you wouldn't believe and it surprises me sometimes that he can throw and kick as well as he does. Who knows, maybe someday we will be sitting in the stands of an NFL or MLB game rooting on our son.
- He is in the high 80 to mid 90%ile on his charts (I will find out exactly when we go for his 2 year check up on February 16th). He has always been a great eater and can knock back more food than I ever thought possible at times. I swear that he is going to eat me out of house and home when he is older and growing like a weed. All I know is that he is happy, healthy, and such a joy to be around.
- He is actually talking now. Like really talking. His words are getting clear to understand and he definitely has an opinion.
- He loves to watch movies like Nemo or Robots or anything that has Elmo in it.
- We are working on colors and numbers, which he is actually starting to get. For some reason, he really loves the numbers 4 and 8 and right now, his favorite color is Blue!
- His two best friends are his Papas and his girlfriend is Caroline (a little girl that he is smitten with from daycare)
- Harlen has been a mommas boy for the last couple years, but he is starting to come around. He is realizing that daddy is really cool and fun to hang with so it has been a pure joy to watch the two of them play, laugh and rough house together.
- Harlen is in bed by 7:30pm during the week (we slack on the weekends because we want to spend some extra time with him) and I yank him out of bed at 6:50am to head to daycare. WARNING: I am sure that me being a working mom will be my next blog entry.
Okay, since this is probably the longest first blog ever written, I am going to end it here. I have to leave a little to write about next time :) Thanks for reading, if anyone is, and stay tuned till next time.
