21 Months

Buby now

Happy 21 months. It really has been for all three of us. Looking
back at how much Buby has grown up--even since last summer--is mind
blowing. When he was a newborn, people would warn us, "It goes so fast!"
My response, "Sure." But it's SO TRUE! Our Buby is less baby, more kid every
day. The real thing. In what seems the tiniest morsel of time, this little man
has learned to do incredible things. And there is only one 13th a month, so I
admit I get the urge to celebrate each one. I tell Buby it's his birthday 12xs a
year, and we make those days super duper special. I never thought much of
the digits pre-Buby. (Well, I knew Friday the 13th was bad... I saw the movie.) But then this boy came into our lives on Tuesday the 13th at 7:31pm, and all that changed. It's a good number now because hearing it, seeing it anywhere reminds me of the day I met him. My best day ever. In the spirit of All Things 21, Buby's Great Loves at 21 months.
