Happy 11 Months to my baby boy! I can't believe we're about to say goodbye to the year that holds your birth day. The year we welcomed you into our world. I'm not sure this Mamma is ready for that, but just like I wasn't ready to give up being pregnant, it's so much better to have you here! So I'm sure 2011 will be just as grand watching you and seeing you continue to grow, explore, and discover your wonderful world. Your eleven month "birthday" fell on Christmas Eve this year, so we got a few pictures of you in your Santa suit, in your glider, and with your usual chalkboard. :) This was the first month we wondered if we were going to have to take your picture while you were standing next to the chair instead of sitting in it. You don't sit still much anymore. Too much to take in! You must have finally decided that the ten months you sat quietly taking everything in and priding yourself in being a "wall flower" was enough, and it was time to explore! Your Daddy and I love you so very much Breck Reid. We have loved every stage of you. Newborn, quiet, stationary, reserved, observant, crawling, jabbering, silly, cautious, fun, teasing, vocal, gentle you. We are so honored God chose us to care for you. We've enjoyed every moment and look forward to so many more years of watching you blossom. You're a gift, my love.
A gift from Heaven.
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
Psalms 127:3-5
Love Forever and For Always,
Mommy
Love this picture of your bottom teeth...
You have two top teeth too, but they don't show for pictures much yet. :)
That's an ornament in your mouth... we had to give you something to keep you occupied for fear of you just standing up and jumping out of the chair while Mama was snapping away.
Oooo, your pointing is just darling these days.
Wow, what a difference! Same glider, same Roger-Rog, same Breck, but just bigger!
Here you were at a week old!
And a month old...
It's been a blast to watch you become the little boy that you are... but I have to say my baby isn't a baby anymore, when I compare recent pictures to newborn pictures. Time flies too fast for sure. But, my baby boy will always be my baby boy, no matter what little lady walks into his life twenty years from now.
