To watch you stand to play with something or even better - stand and clap for something - is amazing. Last night I watched you crawl to stand without holding on to anything!!!!! I literally froze in awe. How did you get here? How did you get this big? Where has the time gone?
You are still nursing away and cuddling into my nap like a baby, but I know this "babyness" is slowly fading away. This last year has been precious to me. I look forward to what is ahead for us but boy, I am going to miss that fat faced baby that had such a serious look! Even now, when I take a smiling picture of you and a second later take a serious picture of you - daddy will always choose the serious face. Its solemn and beautiful, I get it. But your smile is MY favorite! Chubby and wrinkled and a bit askew. I love it.
Last night I rocked you to sleep because I wanted to. I held you while you slept because I wanted to. I felt relieved I could still bunch you up into a little snuggle ball and hold you to my chest. I might have cried for a second. I cherish your life. I cherish my life with you and Owen and Daddy. Things are so good RIGHT NOW, I dont want them to fly by.
Enjoy your first real snow, my bird.
love you
