Knox is 2! My heart is so heavy today. I am so happy that he is healthy, smart, funny, and all those doting motherly things, but I am so sad too! It officially hit me today that I will never raise another baby. There are so many things I love about babies, especially my babies. Holding all that hope, promise, goodness, innocence, beauty, and wonder one perfectly designed little body is an amazing experience. Caring for them and loving them is priceless. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of having babies in my home and life. They have brought me to a place I dreamed of, but never fully understood. I still don't completely understand everything it means to be a mother. I do know that I am a better person because of it.
Knoxy, you have been a great baby! You are fun and happy, wild and bossy. You love to make people laugh and enjoy being naked or dirty. You adore your brother and sister, and I think you like me an awful lot too. Mommy always has to put you to bed. Daddy has really earned some points with you lately though, as he lets you stay up late and watch baseball when you are too scared of the "beep, beep" (smoke alarm) to go to bed. You love to read books and play cars. You like cowboys and animals. You are currently in a "nice/mean" phase where you look at characters' faces and tell us if they are nice or mean. You can be both...very nice or very mean. Rarely does a day go by that I am not hit or pinched by your little round hands. You pack quite a punch! At the same time, a day never goes by without you wanting to be held and kissed by Momma. You are struggling with being Momma's baby or big boy. I ask you daily and can never predict your response. I know some day soon baby won't be an option for you anymore. You will be too busy being big. But, no matter what, you will always be my baby. I love you, Big Boy!
