Nobody

And I mean NOBODY has a baby as pleasant as mine.

Adric is the most smiley, lovey, cooey, easy-pleasing baby there ever was or ever will be--I'm CERTAIN.

Last week, he had his hand surgery and I was amazed, as I am everyday, at what an angel he is.

Even after not getting to eat for 16 hours and being handed off to strangers in a strange place where he was drugged, poked, cut, sewed, pinched, and otherwise inflicted for hours...He came away sweet and serene. In other words, he was his usual self in no time.

Before the surgery on daddy's lap.

Post-surgery with mom.


Once he woke up completely, he sat and played with his tubes, his cast and his crib.


From the looks of things, I'd say it was harder on the parents.

At 2


My Kade is two. I'm not surprised.
Time moves before my very eyes.
Little things--squeals and splashes
Teasing grins, and tip-toe dances
spinning, dizzy, lap collapses
Fill my days and heart.

The way he whisper-shouts Hey Mom!
The way he cries when Daddy's gone.
Listen! watch for garbage truck!
Drink from the tub, but not a cup?
climb on up when head gets bumped.
Little Things make Love big.


Happy Birthday Kade. I love you!
