Bryden 8 months old

Wow Bryden is so smart!! I have this alphabet show I put on for him every day and usually he will mumble nonsense or say the sounds eee or iii but today he said the word and sound A aaaa then B bbbb. Smart cookie :) I can't believe how big my baby is getting! He can stand up by himself he pulls himself up on everything. Bryden has two baby bottom teeth (his first one came in at 6-7 months) He loves scrunching up his nose and breathing fast in and out its soo funny and cute. He loves to try to scare you by jumping his body up and making a sound that sounds like a funny baby growl. Baby Bryden is a happy baby. Very calm demeanor but gets silly too. He's such an easy baby. Bryden has been sleeping through the night since he was a wee little thing. Adam and I are truly blessed to have his sweet beautiful spirit apart of our family. He brings us such joy. Hes been saying dada, mama and daww (dog) for a while now.sweet baby boy loves to suck his thumb when hes tired, hurt himself or if he is hungry. We tried the binki many many times but he never took to it. He loves that thumb. Some nick names Bryden has are: Bry Bry, Binki, Binkials, little Buddy and Monkey. Jumping up and down is something Bryden loves to do. Bath time is Bryden's favorite. He loves being naked. We have been having so much fun with our perfect angel. I cant believe he is going to be 1 soon ahhh!!

Love at First Sight


This poem I wrote is the story of the first time Adam and I met. I was serving at Pita Jungle and Adam was 2 weeks off his mission. Adams mom wanted to try this new restaurant Pita Jungle. So Adam and his family went. They were seated originally out of my section. Then Linda Adams mother asks the hostess to please move them over one table over. Adam  his brother and dad were embarrassed "mom come on really one table over!" but she insisted they move. So they moved. They were now placed in my section table number 31. I walked across the room getting ready to serve my table 31 and I was half way there and i looked up and saw Adam. He was gorgeous absolutely beautiful. My heart pounded I was holding my breath.  I knew him but had never met him. I felt I had experienced another life with him. I was so thrown off by what had happened I turned around and went back to the bus station to catch my breath. I felt like my feet didn't meet the ground, like i was floating. I told myself pull it together they are waiting on you. So I walked on over to table 31. 

I still remember what I was wearing a black short dress with cut up jeans underneath and my hair was up. I caught my breath and went on approaching the table. I felt it again but this time stayed I didn't need to flee I felt safe as if thats were i had always belonged. So I went on serving them the rest of the evening. Adam and I glazed into each others eyes but no words were spoken. They were done eating and I panicked! Did he feel what I felt? He has to mean something for me to have those strong feeling. Maybe I should give him my number? So I decided to start writing down my number. I was half way through my number when I heard his voice... "Hey" all shy and absolutely adorable. I could tell this wasn't a normal practice of his walking up to random girls. I too had never given my number or took any numbers from guys the whole 5 years I worked there. But this was different. 

So Adam said "I don't usually do this but can i have your number?". I then acted like i wasn't just writing it down!! I said "Well first of all giggling, Im Amber". Adam seemed speechless and introduced himself. I then handed him my number (retracing the first digits already written down) and he walked away. It all happened too fast. It was the most amazing thing I had ever experienced. From there on we hung out pretty much every day since. Adam truly is my true forever soul mate. My best friend and lover. 

Love at First Sight

You froze me in place the first time I saw you,
My lungs held on to that last breath, our souls collide.
Why do I feel so strangely after one glance? 
Your smile warm, one look in your eyes and I knew you.
Your voice contagious, warming every corner of my soul.
Why do I feel so connected after one glance?
I try and shake it but you already have a hold on my heart.
I feel you deeply.The pieces fit. love at first sight. 
It is soothing and safe, transporting me to a place I have never been.
I try to hear the thoughts of my head but my heart whispers back, it is ok to love.
Your walk both sturdy and fast, it reflects your strength.
The vibrations of your surrounding energy lightens me.
I can see and feel the essence of who you are.
I want more but I am afraid, I know everything will be alright because I already love you.
Time has passed and we have had so many adventures.
We are connected. My heart never knew love until I met you.
You are my true soul mate.
