I got pregnant with Christopher the beginning of June of 2006. John and I had not been married very long but in the end we were so excited about seeing our new son. Christopher was a special kind of child. He turned out to be a social butterfly kind of like his Daddy is. Always wanted to talk to everyone he came in contact with. Of course I won't mention the fact that the majority of time you couldn't understand what he was saying but that is what made him so cute. He loved the camera. Posed everytime we even attempted to take a picture. His first birthday he got his own little birthday cake and we decided to just let him go at it. We put the cake in front of him and he went to town. He had blue icing all over him especially his face. We had to literally change blue poopy diapers for at least a week. Christopher was always such an active child. He was a late walker but from the time he could take a step he was running. He did not know the concept of walk. The doctors were convinced that there was something wrong with him because he was always so small. At a year old he weighed about 16 lbs. There was nothing wrong with him he just was so active. When he was probably about 18 months old he discovered Thomas the Train. Thomas was everything to Christopher and he would through a fit if he didn't get to watch it when he wanted to. I used to put Thomas on on Demand. Christopher was so smart that when I hit the on demand button he knew exactly what I was doing. He would cry if I did not put Thomas on for him. Christopher's two other favorite things to do were Read and go to church. Of course spending time with Grandpa doesn't count because he would pick that over almost anything. (except for Thomas, that seemed to rate highest) Grandpa used to take christopher on the lawnmower when he would cut the grass. Christopher just thought that he was all that. We had a pretty good routine going with him. He would be asleep about 7pm every night except if we were out late which didn't happen much. He would wake up about 6:15 am and I would take him to grandma and grandpa's house where he would stay while I worked. Christopher had a wonderful Christmas of 2007. He got a Thomas table and chairs, thomas books, thomas clothes, not to mention all the movies and tracks he got as well. He got to see his uncle skip, auntie Kelly and his two cousins Login and Christian for the first time ever over the holidays. Unfortunately his life would tragically end about 3 weeks after Christmas and just 2 weeks before his 2nd birthday. On January 11, 2008 Christopher was hit by a pick up truck in front of grandpa and grandma's house. They took him by ambulance to Stonecrest Medical Center where we got to see him for just a few minutes. It did not look good so they were airlifting him to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital. We had to drive and meet him there. When we arrived, we learned that Christopher's heart stopped beating on the helicopter before ever arriving to the hospital and they were unable to get him back. I miss my baby more than words could ever describe. I want him back with me. The one thing that brings me comfort is knowing that I will see my baby again. He is with Jesus in Heaven and probably keeping the Angels very busy.
