I feel like such a baby as I lay here crying watching my growing baby sleep. I love him so much and it's such a bittersweet thing watching him grow from his first smile to his first giggle from his first tooth to now having two from sitting down to walking at only 8 months.!! From knowing what makes him sad and grumpy to knowing how to make him laugh. My child means the world to me. If he cries I'll be there for him as I have been and if I can't because I'm a few miles away I'll be worried until I get to him. I love taking little trips with him to see him explore as his imagination can run wild with the more things he sees. He knows what he wants when he wants it. If he wants a cookie he can bring me the packet there for I would have to open it and hand him a cookie. He thinks he's strong. I mean he knows he's strong.!! Not a day goes by that he doesn't carry something heavy. A packet of diapers, a big packet of cookies, bunches of noodles, a kids potty.!! As he carries this things he makes the cutes little tough man faces.!! And let me tell you this kid doesn't give up until he has what he wants so he is determined.! He stopped using a binky at 5 months he doesn't use a bottle unless he's with grandma of course. He learned to sip out of a cup al on his own and shortly after learned to sip out of a straw..!! All this and more in only 11 months.!! He's impacted my life in such a positive way. Daddy and mommy love you baby boy.!! And we will forever be here for you.! ❤️💕❤️
