Rubber ducky- you're the one.
Ok- so by and large I am not a "invest in large pieces of plastic" kind of mommy. All our large plastic items have come to us passed down, which eases my green guilt a little. However, this particular thing is my favorite baby item ever. You LOVE it, and I have the comfort of knowing there will be no accidental heads under water during bath time! And in case you all were wondering out there- Yes, it quacks.

Winter wonderful!
Due to our camera-less nature since thanksgiving- recording your world has been tough! We left our camera at Aunt Evelyn's on Thanksgiving, and then our video camera went caput. Thus the silence.
But, I have been thinking for some time that there are so many thing about you right now that I don't want to forget- the way you reach out and touch peoples' cheeks when you meet them, how fascinated you are by little kids (especially your cousins!), the way you wake up every morning (lately at 6:30, ugh) with a long string of babble and a happy yell or two to greet the day, the joy you get from turning the faucet on while you sit in your bumbo seat watching mom getting ready for work, the way you happily sit and flap your arms on the little froggy potty we got you (starting early!!), the way you follow your dad with your eyes wherever he goes and completely light up when you see him.
I do remind myself throughout the day to breathe it in- you are really only this little for today. Tomorrow brings new sounds, new skills, and more bittersweet moments of putting away jammies that don't fit any more.
