Who You Have Become

It's pretty crazy looking at you and who you have become. In the past ten months you have gone from being this little blob of a person to a little person. It seems like just yesterday we were so excited that you could sit on your own. Now you tear around between your mom's magazines and your dad's DVR box at blazing speeds. I am so proud over every little step. You now say "mama dada mama dada" like it's your job. (You have no other job by the way.)

Sometimes you say "Dada" when I walk in the room. Sometimes you say it while looking at a plant. I don't care either way. I assume you are just telling the plant who the coolest guy you know is. That departure from reality is reassuring in a way. I love you no matter what the hell you are trying to say. In my mind you love me, and that is all I really need. I look at older kids and think of what we have to come, and I relish who you are now, and the crazy little guy you are on the crux of being and I laugh.

Oh the things that are to come. I love you Cruzer. I can't wait to see how this all comes together.
