Where does the time go?


So I really have no idea where all the time goes and why it has to go by so fast! Houston has been working out a town for the past month and it SUCKS. I can totally handle the single mother life, that isn't the hard part. Its being alone at night that I hate. I don't have anyone to talk to or cuddle with and I have no one to annoying me when I am trying to sleep in, in the morning. I really appreciate the sacrifice Houston makes for his family and make us money so I don't have to get a job. I just wish that the work he had to do was closer to home. Soon he will be done up in Drumheller and be home with the kids and me. Its hard for him to. I hate how he is missing out on such a fast changing time in Jackson's life. Everything he comes home Jackson looks completely different to him.

Sydney is just growing up to be such a funny girl! She is talking so much more everyday and starting to use sayings that I say all the time and she know how to use them in the right context. She is just so smart. She can count to 10 and I am working on getting her to count more. She can say her ABC's. I need to start her on recognizing them. She can spell her name as well. I am trying to teach her how to spell "mom" and "dad" right now. She is just a got big sister and is very protective of her little brother. She loves him to pieces.

Jackson is getting chunkier everyday! I am not sure how big he is just I don't take him to the doctor to weigh him. I can't believe he is TWO months old today. I just love him to bits. He is a very good baby. Sleeps so good throughout the night. I put him to bed after 10 and he usually wakes up anywhere between 4 and 6. He is a gassy baby and when he is fussy its only just he can't get all the gas out of his tummy. He smiles so cute and is starting to coo all the time now. I don't remember writing him Jackson first post about him having 13 x-rays the day he was born. With him having amniotic band syndrome the pediatrician just wanted to make sure that there was nothing else wrong with other bones in his body. The x-rays came back normal. Jackson also went for his ultrasound on November 10th and his hips are looking good and don't click anymore. I have to take him back to the pediatrician in January and hopefully Jackson is doing great then too.
This picture really shows good what his fingers are like on his left hand!

I LOVE being a mom and think my kids are absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me. I wouldn't know what I would be doing in life if I never had them. I am so thankful for a loving husband. I really miss him when he is gone but I know its worth the time apart and it has only made our relationship stronger.
