That's right, our little guy is 10 months old! It seems that this past month has flown by. Before we know it, we'll have all of our friends and family over to celebrate Braylon's first birthday! In celebration of the past ten months and in anticipation of all the exciting adventures that are yet to come, I leave you with this excerpt from the book entitled "Someday" by Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds:
One day I counted your fingers
and kissed each one.
One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up
and watched them melt on your baby skin.
One day we crossed the street
and you held my hand tight.
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream,
and I dream too...
Someday your eyes will be filled
with a joy so deep that they shine.
Someday you will swing high- so high,
higher than you ever dared to swing.
Someday you will call a song to the wind,
and the wind will carry your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch, and watch your arms
waving to me until I no longer see you.
Someday you will feel a small weight
against your strong back.
Someday, a long time from now, your own hair
will glow silver in the sun.
And when that day comes, love,
you will remember me.
