Sweet love


Elijah loves babies. He excitedly, and sometimes not so gently, loves on them when we're with friends, or in the church nursery. He pats their heads and kisses them, without being prompted. (He often removes their pacis and throws those down with lots of emotion as well, which is also unprompted, and strongly discouraged...)

Anyway, this week we met our dear friend's baby, sweet Abigail Faith. He kissed her on the head and was very happy to see her. He let me hold her without getting too upset or anything, as long as he could be close by. Later on, we were home, and my Abigail was playing with a baby doll of hers in a makeshift manger (rubbermaid storage container). She left the baby in the kitchen (neglectful mama), and this is what I saw. The chubby hand, the open mouth, the "mmm" sound when he kissed Rosebud, oh how precious is that?! He just makes me smile. And, to think, our baby will be one year old in 11 days...not a baby much longer.

But he's still so round and bald like my luke was...that keeps them babyish so much longer. Carson sometimes tricks me into thinking he's 4!

How sweet! I can't believe he's already a year old. They grow up so fast.
