Baby Nick is almost 1

 If you know me, you know I am an avid listener of Neal Boortz   This week at his radio station they were having their annual CareAThon for the Aflac Cancer Center.   It really made me appreciate the health of my two boys.   I can't believe how time has flown.  Nicholas will be 1 on August 19.  He has grown so quickly.  I thank God that he is a mama's boy and allows me tons of time with him.  He is almost permanently attached to my right hip when we are together.  He is such a happy little boy, being his mom seems so easy.  This week we are going to start giving him whole milk.  Little by little of course.  He is taking 2 to 3 steps at a time. I am sure he will be walking before we know it.  I feel so blessed, but am also starting to understand the heartache a mother goes through watching her kids grow up.   I'm trying to remember the point at which I stopped calling Colin, "baby Colin".  They will always be my babies, but how fun it is to watch them grow.  

It's funny to see how they react to things, like the first time they feel grass on their feet 

Or to watch brothers play   



or see them laugh as mommy makes funny faces in an attempt to get them to smile.  


 Don't judge! You know you've done the same!  Such sweet memories they will be.  

Always treasure your own and pray for those who are sick or suffering from cancer.  Some of the stories I heard today from such small kids who are so brave, and fighting cancer.  May God bless them and their families.
