Ever since Cannon turned 1 I started feeling like he was growing up too fast. It seemed like over night he changed from a pudgy, round headed baby who wasn't even mobile until 11 months into a mess making, silly, tall and filled out little toddler. Cannon turns 18 months in a couple days and literally changes every single day. I love all of the new things he's learning, but it has really tested my patience! I'm pretty sure he mostly loves to do all of the things he's not supposed to do. For example, play in the toilet, unroll all of the toilet paper, open up the dishwasher while it's running and take out all of the dishes, bang anything he can on my coffee table and the list goes on.... I feel like the more I tell him "No," or "Cannon please don't do that," the more he thinks it's funny and wants to do it. Not exactly sure how to handle the dilemma. But besides all of the little messes he likes to make he is one awesome dancer. I really wouldn't be surprised if when he gets older if he has his own little groovy moves. He still loves to dance and loves music of any kind. He is really great at telling me what he does and doesn't want. He LOVES jump, jump, jumping! He thinks anything is a trampoline and jumps on his highchair, jumps on our couch, on our lovesack, in his crib and we're borrowing a little tramp from a friend that he loves. He says, "Dump, dump, dump" and loves it. He's also getting better at saying some of my family's names. I love how he says "Nana" and "Papa." He is so much fun and there isn't a day that goes by where we're not laughing and having fun playing together.
So since I felt like Cannon was getting too big it made me feel like it was time to have another baby. When I first had the thought I really thought to myself, "Am I nuts??" I never thought I would want to have children so close in age. After thinking it through I decided that two years in between Cannon and the baby would be far enough. But as it turns out, my body isn't quite ready for a baby yet. There were so many reasons why I thought having a baby now would be perfect timing, but the timing isn't up to me.
Marc and I have decided to take some time off from trying and not to worry about it. I know that there are a few more sweet, precious little babies coming our way in the future, and although I can't wait to meet them, we still have plenty of time. And while I have the time, I'm going to enjoy my silly little Cannon while it's just the three of us! Oh and in the meantime I told Marc we have to go on a very sunny and fun vacation. We also hope to buckle down and really start making plans to save for a house. Will we ever have a house of our own??? :) Good thing we love where we live now! I'm excited for the future and what is to come, but have so many things that I am blessed with now. I haven't blogged in forever so here are a few picture updates...

Turns out I didn't have that many pictures to update! Guess I haven't been so great at taking pictures lately. Oh well. I didn't even blog anything about our wonderful, perfect Christmas, but just know it was great! :)
