The Joys of Motherhood

Being a mom can be hard, yes, but all the joys that come along with the difficulties make up for it. I remember seeing my baby boy for the very first time, I didnt think that I could ever be happier then I was at that exact moment, and I have been proved wrong time and time again. My baby boy is still what makes me happier then anything, but it seems like each day he does something new that just makes me even happier.
First it was when he first started to push himself up on his hands while on his stomach. Then there was when he learned how to crawl. Eventually it was when he finally sat up all by himself. Then, finally after what seemed like forever he took his first steps and started 'talking'! I thought that would be the start of the end of things that could make me even happier, but was I very much mistaken. I really didn't realize how many things he could learn to do that would make me even happier.
Watching him learn how all his toys worked and finally being able to play with them, knowing what they do, had me smiling for days. Then one of the ones that surprised me most that it made me happy, climbing on furniture! I really didnt want the day to come when he would learn how to climb on the chairs and couches, all I could see coming from that was me worrying more. But surprisingly enough when I saw him climb on the chair for the first time I was happy. Now I am in the process of teaching him how to get back down off of the furniture :)
And it isn't only just the things he learns to do everyday. Every little smile puts a huge smile on my face. Every little noise that sounds like he is trying to talk has me laughing and encouraging him. Even just watching him while he sleeps makes me even happier, while he is just so peaceful and adorable. Yea being a mother comes with problems too; baby's dad issues, the screaming, those nights when you are up half the night with a sick baby, colic, diaper rash, teething, and many more. But it is all worth it, those problems make absolutely no difference when you think about all the happiness and joy.

Being a mommy is absolutely amazing, watching your children grow and learn new things is the best feeling in the world. I know that I couldn't ask for anything better then this, being a mommy is about as good as it gets :)

Dante's Hair

What is the big deal with not cutting my babies hair?? I don't want to cut it yet, I love his hair, but I have to hear people all the time about how I need to cut it, or they will. Seriously, last time I checked he was MY son and the decision was mine and mine alone. And then on top of it all I have my step dad telling me that if I, his mother, decide to get his hair cut that I will wake up with a bald head...It just isn't right! My son will get his haircut when I decide he needs his hair cut, and I shouldn't have to deal with shit from people no matter what decision I make! Sorry, I just needed to get that out..

Well this one is just going to be a little about me..

Hey everyone! Like my page says, my name is Kelsey. I have a 1 1/2 year old baby boy that is the light of my life. He is a very special baby, he is missing part of his brain and what he does have is like 3 months underdeveloped. He was never supposed to walk or talk, and was supposed to be in special schools his whole life. Well guess what? He is walking, actually running now :) and talks, ALOT! He is my little miracle :) I am 18, will be 19 in the end of September. Things have been going pretty bad for me lately, but I am doing my best to stay in good spirits and overcome every little thing life has to throw at me. I have a wonderful boyfriend that helps me get through everything, and is always there for me. I have pretty much been a single mother for my sons whole life, even when his dad was around, up until a few months ago when Garion walked into our lives. He helps me out with Dante so much, and helps take care of him like it is his own kid. I think it will be good for Dante to have a man that is steadily going to be in his life. I'm not sure what else to say for now about me, if you wanna know anything else just ask. The next post will be better, trust me!!
