I know what they mean about not rushing you to grow up. And I wish every day that the world would stop begging you to do so! Stay young and adorable and carefree (and dependent on your mommy) for as long as you want. I know the time is coming soon (too soon) that we will be chasing you around the house, feeding you everything on the table that we eat and listening to you actually tell us what you want... But for just a while longer, it's okay for you to be my baby. I love watching you wiggle across the room, taste test a new food, and I know your little mind is working to memorize every object you come into contact with as you turn things over in your hands and gum on them ;) You will do things at your own pace, which is just fine with me, my toothless little man. It's okay for us to slow down and enjoy each and every new taste and touch and word together.
I love you always,
mommy
