It’s official — seven is it. It’s when you stop being little and are a full. blown. KID. You have matured in all kinds of ways this year – physically, emotionally, socially, academically, I could go on and on. You’ve had a lot of growth opportunities as you’ve left kindergarten for the big leagues of…
It was simply *magical* to get to throw a birthday party this year after endless months of no gatherings. You opted for SkyZone so my options to decorate were pretty limited on site…so we decorated at home for cake (donut) cutting with Papa and Mimi! Favorite memory: you performing a magic trick for your audience…

Ten months: You eat anything we give you, have popped three teeth, love to clap and bounce to music, and you’ve clocked in at just shy of twenty pounds of goodness. This month included your first flights, first (toe) dip in the ocean, and crawling! Eleven months: You are starting to pull up on things,…

LOVE Christmas lights, prefer yogurt to fruits and veggies, and want to YANK anything that dangles in your view. You are happy, happy, happy! Eight months: You shriek loudly (happily) about everything (all day long) chatter,…
SIX years with you. You’re kind, funny, an amazing reader, a loving big brother, and a sweet soul who makes us oh-so-proud. The year began as we got ready to welcome your sister and you and I squeezed in a few last adventures just the two of us. I’m eternally grateful for this push I…
