The toddler years

Conor is the best thing going right now.

This curly-headed little moppet has rekindled my complete joy of everything. He does toddlerhood well. He does it with gusto, with amazement, and with belly slaps. I only hope I didn't take the toddler years for granted.

He relishes every single moment of everything. From peanut butter toast to walking it is 100% amazing 100% of the time.

He is discovering words and his voice right now and it is babble and word repetition nonstop. It still tugs at my heart when he says mama, I hope that never gets old. He is also quite the waver, and I really think he puts the grumpy adults in line at Starbucks into a better mood.

Although, he could be waving to mock them...Ha suckers! While you go sit in an office for 8 hours I am going home to eat bananas and blueberries and play with toys...

And food. I love making food for this kid! It is nice to know I am shaping a healthy eating habit full of interesting flavors and textures. I am really mindful of the quality of food, but am willing to compromise at ice cream. He savors or wears every morsel of food with such enthusiasm.

Hmm...maybe I should market the baby diet and make bank.

Okay, okay. I love my baby so much and could talk about him for hours, type about him for days...I need to put my MacBook down.

The sleepless nights of the past are worth this moment right now.
