Momma!

We have hit a new milestone in my house that I have waited years for!  My little boy now calls me momma!  He started about a month ago - when his uncle picked him up and he wanted me, he reached for me and said "momma!"  My heart melted.  But he still didn't do it consistently and so I started wondering if it had been a fluke.  And then, just this week, he now calls for me often.  When I was going to go to the store without him last night, he reached for me, tears in his eyes and cried out, "momma! momma!"  You better bet he went to the store WITH his momma!  How could I say no?

Becoming a mom has been the greatest joy I could ever imagine.  As Jackson has grown, he has shown so many emotions.  Sometimes he loves me, other times he is so very angry with me.  He is a wildly independent child, and so snuggles are hard to come by.  I crave closeness with my little man.  So, when he reaches for me and calls me "momma," my heart just swells.  I am so, so blessed.  Having this precious boy call me "momma" is such an honor.  I love him all the way to the moon....and back.


Seriously, could he be any cuter?


I can't leave out my sweet angel baby girl - gorgeous, isn't she?

    They are both adorable. Asha has been saying mama since 8 months but she started calling ME Mommy in the past month or two. Just me, no one else. And I love it. So very much. Like Jax, she is super independent, so we cuddle once a day during potato chip time. The rest of the day, I live off the Mommy (and whenever she decides to hug or kiss).
