Time Flies...

Where did it go? I picked up Walker's baby book tonight and realized we are nearing the end of his 10th month! I knew this...but something about seeing it on paper solidified the whole idea.

Somehow, we went from Sept. 24, 2007...laying in a hospital and staring at this little being who we instantly loved and wondering what in the world we'd do with him...to where we are now. And what a ride it has been!

It's amazing to me to think back to how he was and how he is. That day, I didn't anticipate that on August 9, he'd smack me in the face when I told him "no." Nor did I know that for some reason, it would be funny and that I'd have to force back the laughter...

I also didn't know that one day I'd ask him if he was ready to eat and he'd immediately toddle to his high chair, grab ahold of the tray and start making a noise that could only mean "yes, mommy! Now put me in my chair, please..."

I don't know when this happened...when our little baby who was so dependent upon us for his every need all of a sudden has a mind of his own that's evolving more and more everyday.

I have no idea how he learned that he could use the foot rest of our bed to climb up on it, crawl to the other end, stand up, hold onto the head rest and jump.

Nor do I know who taught him to make kissy noises when he gets scolded.

I just don't known when it all happened. And in just a little over a month, he will leave baby-hood behind...and enter into the crazy world of being a toddler...as we hold on for the continuation of this wild and exhilirating ride of being Walker's mommy and daddy.

I absolutely cannot wait to see what the next phase of our life holds for us...it feels as if it can't get any better than it is...but I know it will. Praise God for his grace and for trusting us with his precious child.
