AGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Is he EVER gonna talk! That seems to be all I hear myself saying. He whines til he gets his way most of the time. It's been driving me crazy but tonight I let it all go! We were on our way home from Florida and I was all but begging my 16 month old to say one word, ANY WORD, and he was boo-hooing. Finally I gave in, put his paci in his mouth and he grabbed my arms and put em around his neck and patted my shoulder.

I can't push him. He will do it when he is ready. He loves me and I love him and that is all.that.matters.

FAR TOO OFTEN I LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT TRULY MATTERS!

I miss Simon so much... so much that my hair is literally falling out due to all the stress that comes along with being the only parent our babies have for 6 months. Simon is missing so much and it breaks my heart. Karlynn is rolling over, she smiles ALL THE TIME, she coo's and laughs and it melts my heart. She will be a totally different person when he gets home. I dream of the day we get to run up to him as he steps off the bus at the squadron. OMG- I get teary eyed just dreaming about it now. My baby boy will finally have his daddy back.. (which by the way is the ONLY word he says)!  It seems so far away. Waiting everyday for a phone call, and hoping we get to skype once a week... ugh- I need him back! Life is so much better when he is here!

Oh well, I have a little sleeping beauty laying next to me right now and she needs to be put in her bed... time to thank God for all my little blessings...

I'll leave you with a few pics from our quick FL trip!
