19 months young

zack, today you turn 19 months old. and, though 19 months isn't a particularly noteworthy age, I can't help but celebrate the fantastic little guy you've turned into. sure, you got put in time-out today for grabbing my face super hard (i even have a baby scratch on my nose), but in general, you've turned into this person that i simply cannot get enough of. i can honestly say i love spending time with you and miss you when you're asleep or i'm away. you're loving (generous with hugs with mom, dad, penny, grammy etc etc), kind (when penny cries, you genuinely seem concerned, pointing and saying "baby...baby"), good (going into your "cozy" to read when mom's too busy to play or going to bed and naps without ever making a fuss) and so fun (making your "funny" or "cute" faces to make us laugh). even today, after the nose-scratching incident, you cried, said you were sorry ("sah - wee") and then said "all done....ni-night". you knew that you were not fit to be around and decided you needed a nap. i love you for that and for a million other reasons i could rattle off. so happy 19-month birthday to you, my dear little friend. your dad and i (and i am sure many others would agree as well) truly enjoy the little boy you've become.
