Flashback!

I thought I was prepared to be a mother until I had Graham. I realized about a month in that I wasn't- that you can never prepare to love someone that much or give so much of yourself to someone. We had some rocky terrain in our beginning thanks to a lot of guilt on my part over not being able to adequately breast feed. As time went on, though, that diminished and all that remained was this incredible love for my little boy.






Every time that I think I couldn't possibly love him more than I already do, I find out I can.






He is fiercely independent, incredibly creative, sensitive, thoughtful, aware, and oh so mischievous. Oh, he's rather cute, too.






He is challenging, inquisitive, loving, impatient, and one of the pickiest eaters I've ever met.






Occasionally it hits me that if we do our job right as parents he will grow up and leave us. I'm excited to see what kind of life he will lead, but I wish I could capture him at every age he has been and keep him close to my heart. Memories and pictures will have to do...
