Milestone Moments

In our household we have been celebrating many milestone moments. Our four-year-old daughter, Adryana, has started writing and spelling. She has been able to write her name for a while now. However now she can write most words if you spell it for her. She can write her name, her brother's name, my name, her dad's name, mom, dad and also dog and cat, which she can spell from memory too. We are really very proud of her. In addition, for the last few weeks she has been able to dress herself completely. Yea! We are ecstatic.

Our son Arjay, who is almost 2 is talking a lot more. But we've been so happy watching him "help" himself a lot more too. He is able to put his cups and plates in the sink. It's nice to watch your children move towards independence but it's also a little sad because you start realizing that their baby days will be gone soon. This is especially hard for moms because we start feeling like our children will no longer need us. However, they will need us, just in new ways.

The biggest "milestone" in our family is my husband's birthday. He is now 30. Yep, today my husband is no longer in his twenties. This is definitely a "milestone" birthday. We are celebrating him today. I want him to know just how much I love him and how proud I am to be his wife. He is an awesome husband. And my daughter still thinks he's cool, even if he's thirty!
