Sweet baby of mine
As mentioned in a previous entry, I am in the process of scrapbooking Xander's first year. This is one I worked on today. The journaling is hard to read, but it is a poem I wrote. It appears at the end of this post.It is nice to revisit the days when he was so small. I am glad I had the notion to take pictures of his little hands and toes then, now he doesn't hold still long enough for those kinds of close-ups, that or he is trying to touch the camera! The pictures were taken June 27 and June 28, 2007.
So Tiny, So Sweet
So tiny, so sweet
ten little toes
on precious feet.
So tiny, so sweet
how can ten little fingers
make my life so complete?
So tiny, so sweet
my beautiful boy
you fill my heart with joy!
So tiny, so sweet
and oh so small,
now I know...I have it all!

It's only been a year!?!?!?!?!?
This is now!
This is today!
That was then!
How much has changed!It seems like so long ago that Xander was a baby. It has only been a year between these sets of pictures, yet so much about him has changed. He is a little boy now, not a little baby. He runs instead of crawls, eats "real" food intstead of baby food. He drinks from a sippy cup instead of from a bottle. He is such a gift and I treasure every second with him!
First Friday in February!
1. Please don't tell _me to be quiet, I like to talk____.
2. Can you _sleep in____ in the morning?
3. The color _turquoise____ makes me want to _go to the beach____!
4. I have a craving for _nothing--no cravings now____.
5. If my life had a pause button, I'd pause it _right after my son was born____.
6. Eyes are the _windows to the soul--what do yours say?____.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _scrapbooking, or putting together a tv stand____, tomorrow my plans include _dropping off recycling and going out for lunch____ and Sunday, I want to _watch DVR'd shows--we need to catch up____!
