A year draws nigh . . .

Oh my baby boy! How quickly this year is flying by . . .

You are so precious . . . you have just started pulling up, first to your knees, then to your feet. Crawling all over - still commando style, we finally HAD to baby proof the cabinets in the kitchen! You love opening and closing, over and over the cabinets or doors. If it's less of a traditional toy, the better. More and more now, you're eating finger foods, bananas, cantalope, a little avocado - my sweet boy! Growing and changing every day.

The spring coming around reminds me of last year's anticipation, and the upcoming summer. As plants from last summer come back through the ground, it reminds me of the joy and newness of last summer as you became a part of our life! We never knew how wonderfully blessed our world would be with you in it. Your sweet "Dah- dah-dah"s with the wave of the wrist with the straight arm up overhead - or even a teary "Mahm-mahm-mahm" with uncomfortable teething - all make our lives so much more rich and right and happy!

My precious, precious boy - I love you so!
