Look at you; look how much you have grown! As I type this, you are walking around in your diaper with one of Daddy’s shoes on—just clompin’ around, pushing your scooter through the house, and singing songs. Where did the days of baby wearing and puff eating go? You hold our hands in the store and pick out your own clothes, you know all of your animal sounds and the...
