Remy is 10 months old now and it is just sad to see him get so old so fast. I wish time would just slow down with him. He is already pulling up on everything and sometimes pushes him self off of me to stand on his own. He also is getting two more teeth right now at the same time which would make 8 teeth all together. Remy is a ball of energy that never stops moving even in his sleep. He is always crawling, laughing and smiling. I love that boy and it kills me every time I walk into his room and see that he has grown 100000 inches each time he wakes up. The best things about Remy besides everything is his laugh and smile lately. On those really rough days when all I want to do is scream and yell is when his smile gets me the most. When he smiles and laughs it makes me know that I am at least doing something right.
I am really learning a lot about being a mom and it is more then I thought I would ever learn. I am still a new mom and am learning everyday I am with Remy but the hardest parts about being a mom is learning that it is not about you anymore, and that everything is about the family first then you (if your lucky :) ). I am really learning that I am selfish and that is something I do not like about myself and really need to step back and evaluate what I am doing before I do it or get mad about something. Today at church I kept listening to people talk about how they were doing this or doing that for themselves except for one girl who talked about serving others first before herself and that really got to me about how all I do is think about myself and what will benefit me. I really really struggle a lot with the fact that as a mom it isn't all me me me any more or I I I, I wish I would have known this before I had Remy so that I could have mentally prepared myself for it better but there is no better way of learning something then to be thrown into the fire. Being a mom is the most rewarding thing you can do and it is something I see everyday when Remy smiles or laughs at me which is a blessing with in itself. A mom isn't just a person who wipes your nose, or changes your diaper, a mom is someone who gives their life for you, someone who loves you unconditionally, a person who is your jungle gym when the other toys aren't enough, a mom is an amazing calling and I couldn't have asked for anything better but to be a better mom for my son and my future children (no im not pergo!).
Dan is doing well and is almost done with another semester of school and is about a year left of school. Both of us can not believe that it is going by so quickly already and that he is almost done. The funny thing that Dan said the other week was how when you want to be some where the time goes by sooo fast but when you don't want to be the time seems to stand still. Dan's birthday was this month and he has been really into racquetball lately so for his birthday Remy and I got him his very own racquetball racket for it since he always has to borrow from the school. Dan also got some birthday money which he was able use and by himself some Sperry-Topsider shoes which he has been dying to get and I can testify that he looks really good in some boat shoes.
Lexy is doing well and is loving life as I type. She is sleeping all the time and loves to snuggle. Lexy if you didn't know is actually a really good therapy dog or a sick dog so to speak. I say this because when ever either Dan or myself is sick she will not leave your side for anything until she knows that you yourself feels better. Lexy is still on a special diet and can only eat a special dog food which cost an arm and a leg to buy. It is a good thing that this dog is loved!
