the moment

i had been waiting for my whole life!

May 21, 2005, 3:00 p.m.

i didn't take my eyes off of him.

his bottom lip quivered.

i beamed with pride.

i had found the one my heart loves.

i knew he was the one long before he did.

but not before HE did.

God's plan is perfect.

he is much MORE than I ever thought I would need.

I love you Boo!

Happy 5 Years!

The best is yet to come...

today...

you were so happy.

you turned 10 months old.

we went to Hobby Lobby and Wal-mart.

you fell asleep (in your carseat) holding your foot. it was funny.

you got called a girl for the umpteenth time.

you said momma while crawling around on the kitchen floor behind me.

you lunged at your daddy when we got home.

you ate tomatoes, cheese, and pinto beans.

you jumped up and down with glee in your crib

instead of taking a nap.

you belly laughed when your daddy "got you" under your chin.

you fell asleep tonight on my chest...mmm.

and

you were so precious sitting out in the grass...

with nothing but a diaper.

while daddy cut the grass.

and the sun was going down.

i ran in and grabbed my camera...

and i am so glad i did!

what a great day!

10 months old!

Can you see his little tooth peeking through? :)

i could eat him with a spoon!
