I don’t know how you parents out there do it.  I cried when Leo grew out of his first newborn size outfit.  Big, ugly, crocodile tears.  And I’m still squeezing him into his newborn diapers even though they are too tight around his newly plump thighs because I can’t bare to put him in size 1.  My little teeny peanut is only 5 weeks and already he looks older every time I turn around.  I had no idea babies grow so fast!  Good Lord, what am I going to do when this kid turns one?  In the meantime we are drinking in every second and every ounce of this sweet baby boy.

“Where have I come from, where did you pick me up?”
the baby asked it’s mother.
She answered, half laughing, half crying,
and clasped the baby to her chest–
“You were hidden in my heart as its
desire, my darling.
You were in the dolls of my
childhood’s games…
In all my hopes and loves,
in my life, in the life of my mother
you have lived.”

All my love, little peanut!
