Where oh where has the time gone?
The first six months of Sadie's life dragged on and on and oooooooooooooooooonnnnn! I couldn't wait to hit every mile stone and for her to get older and older. After those slow 6 months, the rest has flown by, so fast I can't think straight and I realize I am not getting to do things I wanted to do with her by this age....time is cruising on and I cant catch up anymore. Like I wanted to start preschool books...I tried in the summer a little, gave up, and wanted to restart by now......ya, whoops.
And Bryer's first six months has gone lightening fast. It didn't feel insanely slow like with Sadie. Now I want to savor some time and let it slow down, but it's mean, and it won't let me. It just keeps ticking away....
Although I am so excited for the upcoming few years and everything I want to do with two little kids...if time lets me and doesn't pass by so quickly that I cant fit it in.......what am I doing with all this time? Oh yes, planning gourmet dinners, making an immaculate house, and serving every need of Brett's whim....NOT! lol....oh, I don't know. Living I guess.
Sadie is growing up so fast. My Sadie. My girl. And she is ALL me. From her every physical feature ((fine hair, flat rear end, skinny minnie(well I like to think that's from me anyways), her eyes, face shape, long legs and arms, red birthmark on her thigh(mine is on my left hers is right), large freckle on her foot(mine is on the right, hers is left)), to her personality that is all me. She is definitely a mini me in the truest sense of the word. When she gets excited, she squeals and her hands turn into little fists, she bends her elbows and shakes...ahhh...just like me. Or else she jumps up and down and claps her hands really fast with excitement... just like me...to Brett's utter despair. He can't stand it. But we cant help it. We are emotional girls and we get really exited very easily, lol.
When we went to see Twisted at the movie theater, just me and Sadie, she would turn to me every so often, at an exiting, happy part of the movie, and give a little squeal, shake her hands in the air, then turn around and continue to watch. I smile. I smile big. I love my little mini me. At least I will have great advice for her as she grows up...I will just tell her what I wish I knew.
And Bryer, poor poor Bryer. I am scared to tell Brett...but I think Bryer has the emotional gene as well. Somehow this girl gene has seeped into his poor unfortunate little boy body. I can see it already beginning to develop. When he gets excited..he, well....he gives a deep throat-ed squeal and his little muscular legs and arms get all tense and straighten out, he smiles, and begins to laugh loudly......he is just one step away from shaking his fists in excitement....I have to start plotting how to stop this...cute for girls (or at least somewhat normal anyway)...HORRIBLE and not so cute for boys. I would not find it very cute to see Brett squealing in excitement, jumping up and down, and clapping really fast. In fact, I would probably slap the happy out of him. Seriously. Not a good guy trait. lol. Oh Bryer....what have we created? At least you are a happy boy.
One day I will capture these overly emotional happy moments....they only happen every 3.5 seconds....sad part, I did have some on camera but deleted them because they were so freaky looking, lol. But I will have to post, if only to prove my story true.
PS
This is a hereditary trait, as I have received this gene from my mother, who, I think received this from her mother, and BOTH of my mother's sisters have the gene. As far as I know, no man has this gene in the family, until now?
It is strong my friend. Beware and pray it doesn't run in your family!

Great re-cap on how time lives on. It's so neat to see how much you enjoy your mini-you :) It makes me wonder what our little girl will be like. I don't think you have to worry about Bryer getting the same trait you and Sadie have...that's how all kids under 1 get when they are excited I feel. But like you said time will tell. Justin is definitely a mini-Jon in so many ways and I think it's really cute. I can't wait to see Bryer's personality grow more and more. Hope you have a great Christmas week coming up!! Miss you all
