Tell us what makes your child(ren) special in their own ways. How do you relate to them? Give their ages, too. My baby is 14 months. I love my son's sprit. He's always happy, (so when he does cry, I know there's genuinely something wrong). He's such an easy child to deal with. He's always laughing, and is very affectionate. He's very intelligent and loves music. My husband and mother in-law say I spoil him and he's a mama's boy, but so what. I do not spoil him by giving him whatever he wants, but I do hug/kiss him alot, sing to him, comfort him, but that's what a mother is for! Even if he is a mama's boy, so what! He's still a baby, and I'm going to treat him his age. When he get's to be a big boy, I'll treat him like a big boy, but for now, he's my little pumpkin pie. :) I hope I can be close to my baby girl when she's born, too.

I have 1 son, he is only 6 months. He is so lovely. He is trying to sit by himself around 4 months and now he can sit very well by himself. I think he is always earge to know the world. He is busy all the time. He is trying to hold my shoes even I am hugging him when I am putting my shoes.... But we did not spoil him up to this moment. He does not cry when he want sth. He just try to get by himself but not by crying. Being a mother is such a hard and happy thing. I love my son so much!!

6 months is that landmark age where they start to get really funny and cuter than ever. Yeah, being a mom is hard at times...and it's rewarding, too.

Sounds like you are a wonderful mother. Keep giving him lots of hugs and kisses and lot s of attention. When your baby gilr is born you will have to divide your attention but makes sure your son still gets attention. He may be jealous of the baby girl for a while. But if you make sure he gets attntion along with her soon he will be a wonderful baby brother. Keep up the great work!!! My three boys are all special in their own way. My oldest son (Danny)is 23, he is in the army in South Korea. I am very proud of him for choosing to do what he wanted to do. I did not like his choice of army or any service for that matter. But I love him so I will acept what he chooses and I can be proud of him as well. My middle son (Mikey) is going to college to be a meteorolgist. He only has two years to go. He is 21 almost 22. He also has a summer job with the national weather service and it is a permanent job. He already has a job when he graduates. I am so very proud of Mikey. He has pursued his dream (he has wanted to be a weatherman since 2nd grade) He gets straight A's and is always on the deans list. And yes I brag on him alot lol. My youngest son kevin is the baby. He just turned 20. He doesn't really do much except stay on his computer most of the day but so what?? he's not ready to go and be in the work force. I won't push him. I am proud of him because he is my son and I love him. He is special because hes my baby. lol I love all my boys and I make sure I tell them as often as I can. Even if you think they must know you love them. it's still best to tell them. Its so nice to hear "I love you" from a loved one.

I have five children and each of them is special in his or her own way . My oldest who is now 17 is special because she is not our biological child but a teenager we took in when things were not going very good in her life . She game in to live with us with a grade six level of education and she proved to herself that she is capable of so much more by finishing her grade ten last year . She has so much spark and energy in her life that it is hard not to smile whenever you see her . My next oldest who is 15 is special because she was my first and nothing can take away the pride and joy you feel when your baby is placed in your arms for the first time . She is always there to lend a hand and is very smart . She doesn't struggle with things in life the way I have seen other teenagers struggling , she is happy with who and what she is . My son who is 12 is special to me as he is my only son . He loves to laugh and loves to help out especially if one is outdoors . He has so much spark and energy in his life that he just makes you feel so proud when you look at him . My next who is 4 is my little angel , she was our long awaited child . We waited eight and a half years to have her as I was told I would never carry another child again after I miscarried a couple of times and then we were told that both my husband and I had problems and this was why I had a hard time carrying my first two and that we were very luck that I had even been able to carry either of them to term . She is just so sweet and has such a friendly personality . She is so smart that we often call her our little genious as she picks up on things like no child we have ever seen before . She amazes us daily with what she is capable of . And my who is 2 last is special to me as she is my baby . We will probably not have anymore children due to medical problems on my part and my husband feels five is enough . She is such a quiet little girl who has a quick smile for everyone . She has a smile that seems to light up the room whenever she smiles at you and you can just feel your heart melt . She is our little Princess and always will be as she is the baby and is so much younger then the other children .

Congratualtions first to your future baby girl and your little boy. I have a nine month old boy. He's special mainly because I always said adamently that I would never have children of my own. I had many reasons, the changes that your body goes through, having migraines without medication - the fact that I love sleep. Mostly though, I was afraid of being the small percent who die in childbirth. Ever since the moment that my husband and I made the decision to book passage for this very special boy, and throughout the nine months I provided comfy transport for him, through migraines, pregancy carpal tunnel and slight pre-eclampsia - and lack of sleep - I have felt honoured and part of a miracle - the miracle of life. I've felt truly mammilian. And yes, I almost had an emergency Caeserean due to the pitocian - his little heart rate dropped dramatically - and I was scared - terrified - but not for my life any longer - for his. And now that he is here and sharing our lives he is special for the great amount of love he's created in me - so different then anything else in the world. For his smile and laughter - for his early love of music and singing - for how the animals here are drawn to him - how he looks me in hte eyes and right into my heart.

Forgot the relate part. I'm protective but let him find his way. I give him hugs and kisses and cuddles and give him his sustinance in the form of milk. I talk to him and read to him and play fun learning games. I tell him daily that I love him and that mommy thinks he's the cat's meow and that he deserves love and kindness and patience and respect. He keeps me calmer then I would be. If I'm frustrated, just spending time with him helps immensely.

I have three sons. My oldest is 15 and is a real gem of a teenager. He drives me nuts at times but hes polite, gets good grades, and is an athlete. My middle child will be 5 in about a week and he has the gentlest spirit. He just doesnt have a mean bone in his body. My baby is will be 2 in Dec. and he is the life of the party. Always making people laugh. Hes a trooper through all kinds of medical tests and issues.
