Yesterday Burke was in the living room and "our" song came on. Last year I had to have surgery to find out if I had lymphoma. It was scary. I had a 9 month old and they thought I had lymphoma. The song by Train, "Hey Soul Sister" was popular. The night before my surgery Burke and me danced to it. I held him while big ole' tears ran down my cheeks. The unknown is so scary. It was a great feeling to dance with Burke and the song, I don't know, it was just perfect. The test all came back normal, thank God! Burke and I would hear the song all the time in the car to the point I got sick of it. I started changing the channel when it came on, those darn radio stations can ruin a song! It had been several months since Burke and I listened to the song. Well last night, while doing the dishes, the song came on. Burke was in the front room playing. Out of no where he came running to me and was just smiling and dancing away. He held his hands up to me to show me he wanted me to pick him up. We danced. Just like we did a year ago. This time big ole' tears rolled down my cheeks just because I love that little guy more than life itself!
On a completely different note here is what Burke is up to!
Burke is 20 months! Where is the time going? Please, please, slow down!
Burke knows what a cow, pig, duck, and monkey say.
Burke knows where his ears, nose, hair, belly button, tongue, and feet are.
Burke loves to read books.
Burke LOVES Dora! He loves her with a passion and just smiles so big when she comes on!
Burke can say Mama, Daddy, Grandpa, Grandma, and many other words but those are the important words
Burke has an adorable girlfriend, Paige. Every morning we meet Paige at the park. When he sees her his face lights up. His dimple is huge and he just runs to her. It is so freaking cute!
Burke is fearless. He loves a challenge from sliding down the recliner on a pillow, to attempting to climb up to the big slide.
Burke is a social butterfly! He will go raid others parties like that is a normal thing to do.
Burke eats terrible! He likes cheese sandwiches and fruit. Oh and he will eat a whole can of green beans!
Burke absolutely adores his pacifiers! Lord help me when it is time to give them up. He prefers to have one in his mouth and one in his hand.
Burke is going to be a BIG BROTHER!!
I love you Burkie. Momma can't imagine when another baby comes along, but I know we will all adjust and I know it will be good for you!
