Nine Months



 
 
 
 


My Sweet Eloise Jeanne,

Month nine has come and gone and mama has been the worst at putting this together. Has with every month this one has been equally busy and equally different. I find myself smelling your sweet baby scent as it becomes fainter. I hold you nightly after you have fallen asleep staring at your sweet tiny face. This month I feel that we said goodbye to my baby baby and began welcoming our soon to be toddler. Your personality has come out in force, you know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. You are determined and strong willed, both qualities that I know will take you far in the future. I miss my baby baby but love playing with my new toddler girl.







This month was a huge month for mobility. We went from not really being able to move at all to moving constantly. On July 25th you began trying to army crawl and can successfully get yourself from one place to another. On Friday, July 28th you discovered how to sit yourself up from laying down. I love watching you problem solve and discover new ways of getting what you want. You also pulled yourself up on August 3rd, and now never want to sit down. You have a pushing walker toy that you love to stand with, though you haven't figured out how to make it move yet. Daddy built you a pull up bar down stairs and you love to play with it! You're babbling constantly and always have a story to share. You are busy, constantly looking every which way and seeing what you can get into. I love seeing your world expand and grow!
























You played with your cousins for the first real time, though you have met them before when you were very first born! We celebrated your inside outside day this month, it is still so crazy to think I have loved you on the outside as long as I loved you inside. Tammy and Jade made the trip up to see you and spend some wonderful time with you, and you even had one special surprise visit from Aunt Katie. We flew home from Cincinnati this month and then were home for three of the four weeks, which was great for you to grow and learn in your own home. We went down to Albuquerque the last week prior to you turning nine months to handle a few things at the VA down there and you of course were loved on the entire time. You met your Great Grandma and Grandpa Heronimus and were able to spend much needed time with the rest of mama's family. You were even asked to be Aunt Becca's flower girl, fingers crossed you can figure it out! We love you angel girl and are beyond blessed to call you ours! 













Love always,

Momma

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...
