There are so many things about this little person that I absolutely adore.

• His face. It's all kinds of mischievous.
• His laugh. It's infectious and fills me up..completely.
• His energy. He runs at high speed 100% of the time.
• "Bird"..one of the few words he says..he points outside..bird..i love it!
• His little bow legs. I stare at him running around and I'm smitten with those thick bow legs.
• His cute little butt! Lol. Who can't resist a baby's boodie!
• The way he says "huh" when you call his name.
• His insistence at closing all doors that are open.
• The way he falls out when he can't get his way. I know this shouldn't be funny to me and I don't laugh in his face...but it tickles me.
• The way his face lights up when he sees his brothers.
• Those arms around me when he's finished his bottle and is falling asleep.
• His breath...the sound of him breathing...the gift of his life.

I love my 17 month old. I'm tired most days from waking at night and feeling hung over. There's no "sleeping in"....a quickie has taken a whole new meaning (i.e...nap)...my hand bag at any given moment has one shoe, one diaper (may be clean or dirty), a toy, a book and one sock but I wouldn't change this for the world...

till the next time,
