He’s all this and so much more, but we are just so glad to call him ours! I love having a curious, adventuresome,  growing boy, but I’m happy he’s still young enough to be a cuddly sweet baby too.   I know his babyhood days are quickly ending and toddlerhood is coming fast!  We are ready for the coming days, but I’m savoring every baby moment I get!
