peter growing

Because it just doesn't seem plausible that in one short month, we'll be celebrating Peter's first birthday and HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that a full year has (almost) passed??

I know that this first year goes by so fast and I have focused on savoring every developmental milestone - every grin - every belly laugh - every night when I pick him up and hold him in my arms, and feel his soft head on my shoulder - and breathe in his beautiful baby scent.
He is cruising around all of our furniture - and is standing for a few seconds, unassisted.

So, yeah ... my baby is growing up and that first chapter is about to come to a close. But wow, I am so glad to have him and this tale of love has far exceeded my wildest dreams.

You are especially smitten with me at the moment. Whenever I come in to the room, your face will erupt in to a huge smile and the look of adoration and love in your eyes melts my heart, every time. Rest assured my beautiful baby boy ... the feeling is mutual.
