I remember the morning Davis was born. When they handed me this perfect newborn I remember thinking it could never get better. It was the most joy I had ever felt. I also remember being so sad as he would grow--I wanted him to stay a newborn forever. Everyone kept telling me that it would just get better but I did not believe them. But, I stand corrected. Having a toddler is the most fun and brings me more joy. I love the personality that has emerged and the little boy that now walks and talks around my house! He is definitely not a baby anymore.
Davis LOVES:
Mickey Mouse, Thomas the Train, football, golf, reading books, eating popcorn, riding the train at the zoo, going to the children's museum, Starbucks runs with daddy
This boy talks up a storm! I feel like from the moment he wakes up until his his head hits the pillow he is talking. Here are some cute things he has said lately:
Me: "Davis did you have sweet dreams last night?"
Davis: "Yes mommy"
Me: "What did you dream about?"
Davis: "I dreamed the Cowboys beat the Giants"
Davis: "Daddy, I am scared of monsters"
Jason: "Davis, there are no monsters"
Davis: "But daddy, what about cookie monster?"
Jason: speechless
At the end of the day recently "Daddy, we have had a busy day"
"Mommy, come sit next to me on the concrete"
"That is a hyena" pointing to the hyena in the Good Night Gorilla Book
Helping me set up the room for Sunday School he took down a chair and said "This chair is for Lukie" and taking down another "and this one is for me, I sit next to Luke"
Jason was trying to get to work and he needed to leave. He told Davis to hurry up and Davis replied "Daddy, I'm still eating"
Me: "Davis, I love you"
Davis: "I wuve you"
Davis: (pointing to Jason's wedding ring) "Daddy, what is that?"
Jason: "Someday when you meet the love of your life you will get to wear a ring because you will marry her"
Davis: "Like Mary and Joseph?"
On our way to Kitty Park..Papa: "I love Kitty Park"
Davis: "Me too"
Jason was driving around one day with Davis in the backseat. Jason sneezed not thinking anything about it and Davis said "Bless you daddy, bless you"
Davis told Santa that he wanted a race car and a kitchen for Christmas:
Still takes a nap--thank goodness for nap time! And still just like my little newborn, a total cuddle bug. Davis has one flaw-he is a TERRIBLE sleeper. Before we moved him into his big boy bed he spent nearly every night in our bed (yes, I know save the lecture). I woke up nearly every night with a hand in my face or a little boy smashed up as close as he could get to me. Now that he is in his big boy bed we have taken turns crawling into bed with him when he wakes up. He will roll over and look at me and say "mommy can I lay on you?" and then crawl on top of me and fall asleep (all 32 pounds of him) on top of me. I love it :)
Very, very into talking about Spiderman, Batman and Superman. We end every night with mommy and Davis curled up in Davis' big boy bed. Mommy has to come up with all kinds of crazy things that the three super heros get themselves into (our favorite version is where Superman, Spiderman and Batman all go to swim lessons). At the end of every story Davis says "One more story" and puts up one finger. I end up telling about 15 more because the way he asks is just so dang cute.
Davis has loved living the past year at Nana and Papa's house. He eats breakfast with Papa every morning. I love to hear him run into the kitchen every morning yelling "Papa!" and then hearing my father-in-law ask him what he would like for breakfast. The two of them then sit at the kitchen table and plan out their day together!
Davis answered the following questions tonight:
Favorite color: yellow
Favorite food: popcorn
Who loves you: God
How old are you going to be: 3
What color is your big boy room going to be: navy
What is your name: Davis Parker
Who keeps you safe: Jesus
What day is your birthday: December 14
Thank God for the most amazing gift I have ever received, the gift of getting to be a mommy to this little boy. Davis, you will never know how much happiness you bring to me on a daily basis. I love you!
