Is it possible that I have passed on to my son this gift of gab?

Surely my husband and I talk to Shaughn every day but Shaughn is definitely more like me. I have a tendency to just talk and talk with people I get along with, even if its meeting with them for the first time. My son will just be sitting there, will make eye contact with you and start yapping away. Its non-stop and he uses his hands a lot for what seems to be his punctuation. I do this. I don’t know why I do but I very much do these things with my hands that to me, I’m assuming, makes it feel as if my point is getting across more. Does that make any sense or am I just weird? Today while the three of uswere eating lunch, he took a bite of his food, chewed it up and swallowed then said “Mmmm!” and just continued in this dialogue. The mmm part was a delightful sound, like he enjoyed the food, and then the rest was just babbling as if he were describing to us what it tasted like and how good he was. Brent and I started to laugh because of how into it he was, and when he finished saying whatever he had to say he laughed with us then opened his mouth and said “ahh” for another piece. All you can do is agree with him, imagining what it is that he’s thinking about. Well, I’m hoping he was talking about it being delicious because if it was the opposite, he’s gonna be stuck with momma’s bad cooking for 17 more years!

Well Feb 28, 2010 celebrated two years married to my wonderful husband! The night before, we went down to Dave & Busters to dine and game which was really fun. Of course the picture booth they had there was broken so we could not get one of those silly pictures done but besides that we had a good time. My mom took Shaughn for the night and on Sunday Brent and I just relaxed for a little bit until Shaughn came home. Doesn’t sound like a super fancy anniversary, but it was still wonderful and gave us time to ourselves. Before we had actually married, we would of course talk about it and think of what it would be like.

While in Missouri, during the last 10 months of his 6 year enlistment with the Air Force we had talked about having kids one day. His preference was to be a father before the age of 30, and while in the military our health care would be completely covered. We decided to give it a try and 4 weeks later, a pregnancy test was positive! (Ok, I used 6 different pregnancy tests lol) The marriage process was definitely sped up because of it but would have happened soon anyway! Nine months later, our beautiful boy blessed our lives and it has certainly been an adventure. Every day is a gift that we appreciate and here’s to many more anniversaries to come! What are things that you like to do to celebrate your anniversary with your loved one?
