It seems that the year is just flying by. I never realized just how fast time goes until I had Rocco. He will be two in just four months. How crazy it is! Every second that I am with him, I say to myself, or out loud, “I can never get this time back”. So, I milk every minute.
I find myself in my own world, thinking of nothing but him — the way he looks, the way he smells, the feeling of his skin, the space in his teeth, his giggle, the way he says “butball” for football. It is just amazing to me. I was meant to do this, to be his mommy. I am truly in love.
I agree, being a mommy is the most precious, important and consuming job we can ever do. Cherish every moment, they do go by so fast!!! My “baby” just pre-registered for high school. I had the opportunity to meet you and Rocco in LA in January, and it’s all over you, you are a MOM!!!! He is adoreable and what a beautiful, wonderful gift!!!!!
Shellie,
My son is going to be three in july and i remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. And i so understand about cherishing every precious moment and things that i do. Especially when he’s doing tae bo with mommy and says go mommy go!! LOL! Like you i know i was meant to do this!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
Love Neri =8o)
Shellie,
I love the picture! I can’t wait until I’m a mother! Thank you for sharing this beautiful picture. : )
Shellie,
Your son is precious! Enjoy all your time with him. My sons are 15 and 9. I still hand all over them like they were 2 and they love me for it! LOL! God Bless you and your family!
I meant hang, not hand, sorry!
Yup it sure does Shellie. I was watching my daughter today (she’s 7) and I just cannot believe how she has grown. This is such an “independent” age and it really reminds me of much she is growing and how fast it seems to be going. She no longer needs me to brush her hair, bathe her, and she absolutely will not tolerate me walking her to class..:-)). I feel like she is quickly growing from barbies to lipstick and I am scared senseless …LOL. I like this picture of you with your son…very nice. As big as Leyla is, I still go in every night when she is sleeping to make sure she is okay , not cold and just simply breathing…I don’t think I will ever stop doing that..:-)).
What an absolute beauty!!
Thank you for the ever important reminder to enjoy every moment of every day. Rocco is completely precious!

Awww…..he’s so cute. And you are so right, Shellie. Time flies by so incredibly fast when you have kids. I just cannot believe that my daugther is going to be 9 soon and that my son (my baby) will be starting elementary school in September (he is now 3 1/2). I just know I am going to bawl like a baby myself!! Cherish this time, get as much of it in as you can, spend every free waking moment you have with him - because before you know it, he will be grown up and on his own!! And love? Well, I love my husband with all my heart and soul but love for my kids? It’s so different and it’s so full and it just encompasses my entire being…..I can’t even begin to describe the love I feel for them! I’ve never known love like that until I had children!!
Take care and God bless!

You two look great. He is so cute Shellie. You are an inspiration. That Rocco of yours does not seem like he came out of those flat abs. You rock girl .Keep up the good work. My daughter Victoria is turning 1 on 03/28 this friday and time flew by i don’t know how that happened. But she is so so cute. My son is 11 and he told me he can’t wait to be a teenager. well don’t know what that means.
wow!! you are beautiful and your little man is absolutely precious. My little man, Ben, is 8 years old and i too remember every little thing like it was yesterday. It’s always been just the 2 of us so Ben is my sunshine and reason for living. and i let him know way too often he tells me. :o) He’s such a big boy now and i wish i could freeze dry him b/c i just love all the things he comes up with. you are so right to just enjoy every second and never take for granted even the littlest things b/c one day you will turn around and the wonder where the time has gone. God bless your family!!!
Hey Shellie and Rocco!! God bless you both!As I am pretty sure you know, you look great! I have two sons. One is 13 the other is 2! Ya! Talk about needing energy! I am a police officer and I have to see alot of sadness that deals with god’s gift to us, children. So continue to cherish him and love him, smell him, and laugh with him. That is what keeps me going everyday! And I know that at times he is the only thing that keeps you going!(besides god’s endless strength). I personally look forward to every end of my workouts,(amplifier series), my little one, Antonio, throws his arms out and runs to me saying, “yeah mamy did it!!give me hug!” and then hugs me with all his tinny strength. He does this because you all of you do it at the end of every workout, so he celebrates too!! ahahh.. God bless you both! Love from TEXAS.
Beautiful picture Shellie!!!! I love you both!
I know that with Andrew, I learned that my chest, my physical body could actually ache I love him so much - so amazing what a child teaches and brings into your life : )
Thank you for sharing your life with us here on the club!
I love the picture and you are a great Mom.
I know what you mean when you say how you are in your own world with him. I have a 10 year old and 4 year old son. I love them with all my heart and being their mom is the best gift in the world to me.
My 4 year old was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago and continues to this day fighting, so I treasure ever day as if it were the last. I hug him, kiss him, tickle him, laugh with him and even smell him. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and take it all in with such gratitude.
My 10 year old is my strength and I truly admire him for being such a wonderful big brother and a loving son.
I will continue to cherish every moment I have with them and pray that it is for a very long time.
By the way, they love the workouts, especially the punching bag.
