Oh! No you Didn't...

I have to stop myself from laughing these days. Yus is getting his own little personality and my momma was right! As it stands right now, my precious baby boy has a 'me' personality. That just means, he knows what he wants and will go toe to toe with you to get it. Oh! lord, give me strength. 

Although, he's not saying a lot of words other than, 'dadadadada' and 'ditditditdit' each time definitely means something different. For instance, last night he decided he was going to feed himself. Normally, I'm fine with the development and push him to do so. But it was 'my' bowl of fruit that he had thrown his bottle clear across the room for and inched closer to me on the bed. Before I knew it, his little hands were picking out a strawberry and shoving it into his mouth. REALLY? It's 8:00pm, bottle time. So, I said, "Yus, that's mommy's strawberry if you'd like one just ask and we can share." And this is where I had to stop myself from laughing because he wanted to have a conversation. Yus said, "dadadadad - dadada", as he held the edge of the bowl and reached back in for the strawberry that he took out his mouth and placed back in my bowl. I said, "Sure you may have some" and he said, "ditditdit." Ahahahaha, now of course the conversation went on longer than that, because we did that with every piece of fruit in my bowl. When I had to cut him off he almost snapped on me but I think he was to tired too.

Oh! motherhood is amazing.

Steady Goes It!

This was an eventful Father's Day and one James and I will remember forever! Our little man started walking. He was playing with my nephew; laughing, babbling and batting at the animal faces when my nephew shouted, "Go Yus, Go Yus". We looked in their direction and my baby was pushing the walker. I nearly cried. He's only 10 months but with enough practice he'll be walking by his first birthday (a goal I set for him when he was born). Not to brag but daddy and I were both early walkers!!! :) I knew he could do the same.

So, many milestones and so many more to come.

Mama's Baby!

My son has changed so much in the last few months. He went from being a calm, happy, easy-going child to an on the move all the time only stopping to eat little boy. He claps anytime a commerical is on with music. He side steps around furniture to get to toys that he's thrown across the room. He moves from room to room and hopes you'll run behind him. The funniest though, is when my husband says, "Noooo, Yusuf don't touch the DVD's" and Yus looks back with a big smile and goes for it. The hubs springs from his chair and picks him and throws him in the air. It just makes me think that he knows exactly what he's doing. As to say, "if I reach for these DVD's my dad will, toss me in the air, I'm going for it." hahaha 

have a blessed day guys!
