Thoughts of "O"

What is so amazing

is that you have

no idea

of the wonderment that

you bring to me...

You delight in

the simplest things...

Without much effort

you can pull your toes

up to that tiny mouth.

You can study each finger

unaware of the promise

they will hold for you.

You are surrounded by

daily adventures ...

You are captivated

by new sensations...

Your determination

and curiosity

are unrelenting...

Just a few months

on this great earth...

and you already

have me enthralled

by

your sweet innocence,

your perseverance,

and your unrestrained joy.

You are discovering

the world around you...

While I am discovering

you.

That is a wonderful post, and Owen is so cute! I've posted a new photo of my Ella on my blog. Maybe Ella and Owen could get together.

Fay gets first dibs on Owen, sorry!!
She's saying "Nanna WOW!!" which is amazing to me and wonderful how her universe is growing every day. Her demands are growing too, but that's all part of the growing-up thing. We stopped for banana's and cookies yesterday on the way home from that daycare place, and she wanted a banana right away, so of course Nanna gave her one in the store-and then explained at the checkout that baby NEEDED a banana, I paid for the weight of the skin, hopefully I didn't steal too many pennies from the market!
I love your dept and wonder with Owen, and it's so great that the kids keep you up to date with new pics and stuff on him too!!
Take care, and rub some lavender oil into those sore leg muscles if you have some!
