22 months ago


22 months ago today my life was changed forever. We welcomed the sweetest (sometimes very stubborn) little boy into our lives. The love of a mother is often times indescribable. I have been in aw of this little boy that has grown from 8 lb 12 oz and 21 inch long baby into a 31 lb and 37 inch tall toddler in the past 22 months. He has grown from needing me for his every need to calling on me only when he has discovered that he isn't able to achieve whatever it is that he is after. I am so proud that he is walking and talking and potty training and developing normally, but in my heart I am still sad that he has grown up so fast.

Oh, how I wish that my Memaw could see him now. I know that she would just love to see him talking and trying to say his ABC's and his blessing. I know that she would be so proud of the fact that we are trying so very hard to get him to say "yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir and no sir". I wonder if Reily would "hollar" Memaw the way that he "hollars" Granna. I so wanted Memaw to be as big a part of his world as my parents have been.
