Last weekend we celebrated my son's 9th bithday. How the heck did that happen? While the very first weeks and months after he was born time seemed to crawl by, as I suffered from massive fatigue with his constant nursing, gulping up, and general lack of sleep. As his tummy and mood improved time seems to have gone into hyperspeed.
Now he is less than a head taller than me and he borrows my sneakers.
My dear boy, would you please slow down the pace of your growing up?
What a charmer you have there. A very Happy Birthday to your son - it looks like he had a lot of fun with his friends.

Ohh I can relate to this and you are probably laughing because as you know Astrid is just one year old!
He looks so much like his sister. A real mr. Handsome :)

Cute little boy! Look as those grown-up teeth in that little boy face! I love all the changes which happen to children's teeth during elementary school. Cute at every stage. Beth
