8 months old, 8 months old, 8 months old!
how did 8 months go by? a very hot summer, leaving pennsylvania hospital -- fall, our one-year anniversary -- my mom-in-law planting bulbs for us in october -- now it's april, the bulbs have bloomed, my mom visiting in october, november, december -- lots of snail mail letters and advice and encouragement-- a long, cold winter, a bundle me, gloves, hats, ice and snow -- now it's bare feet, windows up, and sandboxes and playgrounds and finger foods and long walks singing down girard avenue . . .
