How am I a mom to an almost 4 year old? It’s unreal how time flies. It’s so strange to look at him as a little person and no longer a baby. He grew into the sweetest boy that has such a great understanding of everything and the biggest heart and love for life. I still get those moments where I look at him and just smile because I cant believe he’s mine and I have a true best friend in him. I know he will grow into someone that will always see the best in everyone, be friends with everyone and go above and beyond for his friends and family; just like his daddy. There’s just that bond with your first born that is like no other.

My sweet little monster Mateo is my joy. He’s almost 2 and I’m feeling every ounce of those terrible two’s. He is so smart, but definitely a man of few words. From the moment he was a baby everyone recognized a wise ‘old soul’ in him. His eyes always told a story. He knew more than what we thought, and he still does. He takes his time. He knows what he wants and his perseverance is something we can all learn from.
