Family and next year!

This week and last week have been amazing. Rodo has been coming home right after work and it's been soooooo nice having him home for dinner. Getting to spend actual time with him before bed and then being able to do it all over again. August cannot come fast enough. I'm anxiously waiting for him to be done with school so we can have a normal life again. I miss feeling like a real family.

We have been freaking out about graduation because we are worried that he might not find a job that goes with his career choice. It's something that has apparently been happening to a lot of graduates who have a specific major and no "minor." I guess we'll just have to hope for the best!!!

On up coming events; the year is coming to an end!! I've decided on a new years resolution and that is being a better me. Very vague but filled with so much! I want to be a better me for myself. A better mom. A better wife. A better person! I've made of list of things I want to improve and I hope that I can gradually ease into this "new me."  =)

Toddler Fun

It's been a while but I'm ready to catch up. These last few weeks have been crazy fun for us. Rodito's vocabulary has grown tremendously. Being with him is much more enjoyable now because he tells me what he wants and most of the day he's making me laugh with his sillyness. Of course his personality is kicking in stronger than ever as well and with this comes a new line of tantrums. We've mostly figured out how to manage them but he has a few that get out of hand ocassionally lol.

He's now saying "funny"  "cereal"   "cookies"  "money" (LOL)  "cake"  "nap time"  "socks"  "shoes"   "love you" (he says it lob which is soo cute haha)  "baby"  "read book"  "Foofa"  "Gabba"  "phone"  "hot"  and the list goes on. Something that I'm very excited about is that he can count to 10 give or take lol, he misses a few now and then. He's also starting to count in Spanish it makes me glad that we've introduced both languages at the same time because he's picking up on them about the same. I do want to focus a bit more on Spanish though because he does seem to prefer English and I don't want that to become an issue in the future. He can also name the things on his face in both languages!

He's growing up really fast... I cannot believe December is here already. Our 3rd Christmas with our boo. Our 3rd new year's with him. Time just goes by way too fast and I wish I could stop it just for a moment. I'm going to miss this stage so so much. There's so much to do, so much to love about him. Rodo and I have been enjoying our family time with him like never before because he's just so fun to interact with. Nothing last forever though and we have so much more to experience with him for the rest of our lives. Different stages, different levels of fun and love. :)
