Where, Oh Where, Has My Baby Gone?

My baby is 9 months old today.

Jack is the sweetest bundle of love and energy any mother could want. His body is pure pudding with the most kissable skin and dimpled smile. He is happy 99% of every day, and loved to absolute pieces...



...but he is on a mission...TO GROW UP! His infancy, like most second-born, has gone too incredibly quick. He is on the move in every way possible; he has a big sister (and big cousins) to catch up to. He refuses to be left behind. And as the days turn into weeks, he is becoming my Big Boy.

If I could freeze time, just for a little while, I would. This is one of my favorite ages. Being nine months is a kind of milestone, too. He has graced this planet for exactly as long as he took to arrive. You know...if a baby grew as fast in the first nine months as he did in the nine months before he was born, he would weigh 26 BILLION pounds!* Amazing, isn't it? I'll keep him as he is...a robust 21.5 pounds...and growing!



*(A baby's weight increases 3 1/2 billion times inside a mother's womb! Phenomenal!)
