After Noah’s birthday invitations sat in the diaper bag for more than two weeks, I finally put them in the mail today. Mailing his invitations somehow made his approaching birthday so much more real. Turning one means he will officially leave babyhood behind; he’s graduating to toddlerhood. But, in so many ways, I feel as …
Growing Up: Developmental Leaps at (almost) 11 Months Old Read More »
As I gaze into my son’s sleepy eyes, the rest of the world melts away. He has a smile that makes everything okay. He’s not shy with his smiles; he knows how to bat his eyes, smile, and wave his arms to get everyone’s attention. But I’ll never grow tired of his smile; its magic …
