Our little boy is becoming a toddler before our eyes. We were looking at pictures of him with dark red-ish hair when he was so small he could barely hold his head up trying to remember those days that are long gone. I close my eyes and try to go back there but it is just not the same. He is just about walking now and we couldn't be more proud. There is something SO incredible about watching him intentionally take each step with fear and excitement filling his eyes. These are his first steps of freedom.. away from the arms of mommy and daddy and out to discover the world on his own. Unbelieveable. He is very observant and interested in his surroundings now.. just loves to explore. He is LOVING our backyard now as you can imagine but if I take my eyes off him for even a second he is gone which is a little scary. He just brings us so much joy and fills our hearts with love and pride. Being a parent is undescribeable. You always have a HUGE mix of emotions inside-- fear of the "what if " every second, excitement for each new word/sound/discovery, SO much love everytime you look at them, disbelief when you realize you created them, sadness when you realize they aren't as little as they were etc. The list goes on. Just the emotions alone are exhausting but I wouldn't change them for the world. We are so in love with our little boy, life is SO good and we are so blessed. What is amazing is that we keep thinking this is as good as it gets and then it gets better.. We are beginning to realize that we have really just begun. Can't wait for the next chapter of toddlerhood and being a stay-at-home-mom ;) more to come on that topic.. I apologize that some of these pics might be redundant for those of you have have Instagram.. I need to take more pics. Check out his walking vid below! We are in big trouble!
Hugs, momma T
