I am really still in denial about the fact that you are now one and a half years old. I have these moments where I feel like the doctor just put you in my arms and other moments where I look at you and see 100% pure, little boy. My how you've grown so much in these last 6 months!
It is really hard for me to summarize YOU. You are just one busy little fellow, enjoying the mess of things, the thrill of the chase, the challenge of our "no's." You have this cute and clever, but all the while, mischievous determination, in you. If you hear no, that must mean yes to you. I spend most of my day getting you down from things, taking things away from you, moving gates to restrict you or comforting you because of some meltdown usually over one of these things. Gone are my days of sitting down to read emails, or really, read in general, while you are awake and at play. It is just too dangerous to allow you to be on the loose.
Just the other day, I ran upstairs to grab something real quick. And I mean really quick. When i came back downstairs, you had managed to open the dishwasher, climb into, sit on top the open door and pull out the silverware (thank goodness there were only butter knives!). I had to giggle at you sitting there inside the dishwasher, licking a dirty spoon, smiling up at me knowing you weren't supposed to be in there.
You still sleep like a champion, and I THANK YOU for that. I am often so tired at the end of the day, it is a relief to be able to easily wind you down. You have also developed a love affair with your blankie (aka "baby") and the minute I put it on my should you lay your head down and close those precious brown eyes.I buckled down and finally got you a professional haircut. You weren't too sure about the lady coming towards you with scissors in hand, but the minute she gave you that lollipop, you were in love!
You did awesome on your first plane ride to CA, enjoyed your first visit to the happiest place on earth, and have cut your last 2 teeth, giving your mouth a complete set of chompers!
You are still my little peanut, now with a big-boy haircut! I love you to pieces, temper tantrums and all, you are still 100% adorable!Love,
Momma

Your children are going to read these entries in about 20 years and just be amazed with how involved you are in their lives and how very personal and precious these entries really are!!! Seriously. I sit and read some of them, and maybe it's just because i'm a proud aunt... and try my hardest not to cry out of amazement of how wonderful of a mother you are... those children are very lucky! I love you.
