The Eleventh Month

I never want to forget...

How well you share. Your new funny dance. How you mimic me & your daddy. Pushing your "baby" around in the laundry basket. How you walk around with your arms stretched back and mouth wide open and say "aaaaaaaaaa". That you smile right at me everyday I walk through the door. Your first tooth popping up. Going on your first hike. Seeing all the grass and the tall trees up north. Playing Hide & Seek around the kitchen island. How you give up books when you want to read, a diaper when you want changed, and help any time you see you can. That you know which room is yours. The blinking game. How close you've grown to your daddy. Getting shy and hiding behind my legs. How fast it's all going already.
