It’s been one year since you’ve joined our family! Where has the time gone?
Went to the doctor today, and at 22 months you weigh a little over 21 pounds. So you are definitely still my (very) little guy. I love that. I missed out on the first 10 months of your life, so you can stay my baby for as long as you want.
My little boy has changed.
We thought he had a quiet, serious, stoic personality.
We were wrong. Definitely.
Of course, he still gets shy around strangers and new situations. And he sometimes gets whiney and complainy and throws little fits. But he is so entirely different from the scared little baby we brought home 10 months ago. There is amazing light in his eyes that wasn’t there before. Laughter in his voice. He is silly and goofy and giggles at his own hystericalness. He loves running around like a maniac.
He is so affectionate. When he is held, he sticks his face in my neck, wraps one hand around my neck and holds onto my arm with his other hand. When he is in the kitchen with me, and I bend down to get something, I feel his little hands wrapping around my back, his head leaned against me.
Sigh. He’s got me wrapped around his little finger.
His smile is as one who is deeply loved, and he knows it.
So are we terrible parents for taking pictures of our son when he is having a meltdown? He is just too darn cute!
His first reaction to being reprimanded or disciplined. I’m pretty sure he thinks he is now invisible.
Are we still there?
Yep, and we haven’t changed our mind. You still must eat your dinner before you get your milk.
Tortured resignation. Gotta love the lip.
